I saw them in the search results, artist page, artist aliases page, add artist, add work, add release group

nikki
they were all something about the transaction being aborted
2012-05-13 13400, 2012
nikki
so if you just restarted the server, maybe it's ok for now
2012-05-13 13443, 2012
nikki
I can't reproduce them right now...
2012-05-13 13453, 2012
warp
I did restart the server, but that was 20 or 30 minutes ago.
2012-05-13 13414, 2012
nikki
I hadn't checked until you said you hadn't seen any
2012-05-13 13420, 2012
nikki
because earlier it was unusable

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
2012-05-13 13441, 2012
warp
dubwai: the musicbrainz server doesn't have access to that information.
2012-05-13 13442, 2012
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
2012-05-13 13454, 2012
dubwai
types info stored, so i think my reqeust is possbile
2012-05-13 13441, 2012
dubwai
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 :-(
2012-05-13 13421, 2012
warp
dubwai: we do not want to have the images on the musicbrainz server for copyright reasons.
2012-05-13 13402, 2012
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.
2012-05-13 13414, 2012
dubwai
not image
2012-05-13 13423, 2012
warp
dubwai: yes, but how can we get that info without downloading the image?
2012-05-13 13451, 2012
dubwai
download get info and delete :-)
2012-05-13 13423, 2012
dubwai
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 :/
2012-05-13 13407, 2012
pankkake
how does coverartarchive solve the copyright issue?

I wonder how discogs does it, too
2012-05-13 13448, 2012
kepstin-laptop
pankkake: it doesn't, really. It just pushes the issue off to the internet archive, who know how to deal with it.
2012-05-13 13457, 2012
pankkake
oh, ok :p

kepstin-laptop: am I seeing a raised hand there? 8)
2012-05-13 13440, 2012
kepstin-laptop
reosarevok: is there already a ticket open for that?
2012-05-13 13448, 2012
reosarevok
(seriously, I guess it'll be enough work for warp and ocharles to ensure stuff doesn't ship broken)
2012-05-13 13453, 2012
reosarevok
I assume it is, nikki?
2012-05-13 13458, 2012
nikki blinks
2012-05-13 13400, 2012
nikki
there isn't a ticket
2012-05-13 13408, 2012
nikki
and it's unlikely to be fixed in time
2012-05-13 13423, 2012
kepstin-laptop
:/
2012-05-13 13412, 2012

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
2012-05-13 13456, 2012
nikki
so if you have any good ideas, it'd help
2012-05-13 13418, 2012
kepstin-laptop
I like the main type and main type + extra types idea.
2012-05-13 13410, 2012
nikki
what would you call the headings?
2012-05-13 13412, 2012
kepstin-laptop
alternately, turning everything marked as a 'compilation' into gray so it's less distracting :)
2012-05-13 13428, 2012
kepstin-laptop
"Albums", "Other Albums"? that's not great :/
2012-05-13 13402, 2012
nikki
yeah :/
2012-05-13 13401, 2012
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
2012-05-13 13439, 2012
kepstin-laptop
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.
2012-05-13 13450, 2012
reosarevok
kepstin-laptop, nikki: "albums", and "albums, but..."? :p
2012-05-13 13401, 2012
kepstin-laptop
that does make compilation soundtracks tricky tho :)
2012-05-13 13448, 2012
kepstin-laptop
hmm, and I'd probably want to keep soundtrack singles with the other singles in typical cases...
2012-05-13 13456, 2012
kepstin-laptop
it is just a bit of a mess, eh.
2012-05-13 13420, 2012
nikki
hmm. maybe just albums and other albums but don't split single/ep/other
2012-05-13 13426, 2012
kepstin-laptop
the 'Filter' tool on the release group list page doesn't let you filter by subtypes right now either - only primary types.
2012-05-13 13437, 2012
reosarevok
Yeah
2012-05-13 13456, 2012
reosarevok
IMO that's what needs changing, with the list maybe remaining as-is
2012-05-13 13417, 2012
reosarevok
Or maybe a two-state switch, "list all albums" vs "separate albums with subtypes"
2012-05-13 13418, 2012
reosarevok
Dunno
2012-05-13 13438, 2012
kepstin-laptop
I'm still annoyed that various artists releases aren't shown on the same page as single artist releases.
2012-05-13 13456, 2012
kepstin-laptop
I would rather have single and various artist releases on one page, with compilations hidden away somewhere.
2012-05-13 13438, 2012
reosarevok
huh?
2012-05-13 13417, 2012
reosarevok
If the artist's involvement was small enough for it not to get in NGS' multiple AC
