I saw them in the search results, artist page, artist aliases page, add artist, add work, add release group
they were all something about the transaction being aborted
so if you just restarted the server, maybe it's ok for now
I can't reproduce them right now...
warp
I did restart the server, but that was 20 or 30 minutes ago.
nikki
I hadn't checked until you said you hadn't seen any
because earlier it was unusable
dubwai
why in cover art page, miss size information and only "Types", I think resolution and size will be nice addition, because now i must click image properties
dubwai: presumably because we don't store the size. the images don't pass through our servers so we never have chance to find out
warp
dubwai: the musicbrainz server doesn't have access to that information.
dubwai
ok, but maybe possible to make that musicbrainz server once download image and save this info, and show it later, until image will be replaced
types info stored, so i think my reqeust is possbile
because, for example i download album witch also have full scan, some is better resolution that on mb, some not, and now i must to preview all image manually :-(
warp
dubwai: we do not want to have the images on the musicbrainz server for copyright reasons.
dubwai
warp: string "Res: 1280x1280, Size: 434 kb" will be any copyright issues? I just think that to store this info, like info abot type.
not image
warp
dubwai: yes, but how can we get that info without downloading the image?
dubwai
download get info and delete :-)
or copyright pigs can and in this find violation of their rights?

I hope that before the schema change release is made, some updates are done so that compilations and soundtracks aren't cluttering up artist album listings :/
pankkake
how does coverartarchive solve the copyright issue?

pankkake
I wonder how discogs does it, too
kepstin-laptop
pankkake: it doesn't, really. It just pushes the issue off to the internet archive, who know how to deal with it.
pankkake
oh, ok :p
reosarevok
kepstin-laptop: am I seeing a raised hand there? 8)
kepstin-laptop
reosarevok: is there already a ticket open for that?
reosarevok
(seriously, I guess it'll be enough work for warp and ocharles to ensure stuff doesn't ship broken)
I assume it is, nikki?
nikki blinks
nikki
there isn't a ticket
and it's unlikely to be fixed in time
kepstin-laptop
:/
nikki
I did propose splitting it into main type and main type + extra types originally
I guess the main problem will be figuring out how we want to display it
so if you have any good ideas, it'd help
kepstin-laptop
I like the main type and main type + extra types idea.
nikki
what would you call the headings?
kepstin-laptop
alternately, turning everything marked as a 'compilation' into gray so it's less distracting :)
"Albums", "Other Albums"? that's not great :/
nikki
yeah :/
kepstin-laptop
one option might be to just put the albums without subtypes before the albums with subtypes, with a simple dividing line between them
Hmm. one thing that might be nice is to pull out all the compilations, soundtracks, etc. into a separate "Compilation", "Soundtrack" section, ignoring the primary type.
reosarevok
kepstin-laptop, nikki: "albums", and "albums, but..."? :p
kepstin-laptop
that does make compilation soundtracks tricky tho :)
hmm, and I'd probably want to keep soundtrack singles with the other singles in typical cases...
it is just a bit of a mess, eh.
nikki
hmm. maybe just albums and other albums but don't split single/ep/other
kepstin-laptop
the 'Filter' tool on the release group list page doesn't let you filter by subtypes right now either - only primary types.
reosarevok
Yeah
IMO that's what needs changing, with the list maybe remaining as-is
Or maybe a two-state switch, "list all albums" vs "separate albums with subtypes"
Dunno
kepstin-laptop
I'm still annoyed that various artists releases aren't shown on the same page as single artist releases.
I would rather have single and various artist releases on one page, with compilations hidden away somewhere.
reosarevok
huh?
If the artist's involvement was small enough for it not to get in NGS' multiple AC
