        Hello! I have a bit of a problem... my album title is too long.
      • 2010-03-18 07737, 2010

      • kyan
        I abbreviated it, hoping to add an explanatory annotation, but it is long enough that it generates http 500 server error.

      • kyan
        (Then again, I guess the album title is a bit /absurdly/ long... :-P
      • 2010-03-18 07734, 2010

      • kyan
        Ah well. Looks like no-one's online and available right now... I'll wait and try again in the morning.

        is ubuntu only capable of using picard version 0.11 right now?
      • 2010-03-18 07734, 2010

      • Leftmost
        Quantum[Nugget], there's a .deb for 0.12.
      • 2010-03-18 07742, 2010

        Can't remember where it's at, though.

        Hello! An album title I am trying to add seems too long. I have abbreviated it, hoping to add an explanatory annotation, but I received an http 500 error. What should I do about this? Thanks!
      • 2010-03-18 07729, 2010

      • herojoker
        kyan: i would suggest to try it again
      • 2010-03-18 07722, 2010

      • kyan
        herojoker: Adding the album name, or the annotation?
      • 2010-03-18 07740, 2010

      • herojoker
        whatever gave you the error
      • 2010-03-18 07713, 2010

      • kyan
        Okay.
      • 2010-03-18 07717, 2010

      • herojoker
        if the error always comes up after entering this particular input stay here
      • 2010-03-18 07719, 2010

      • kyan
        Okay.
      • 2010-03-18 07737, 2010

      • kyan
        I will comment again if it has an error. Thanks.
      • 2010-03-18 07753, 2010

      • kyan
        Still getting http 500.
      • 2010-03-18 07700, 2010

      • Leftmost
        kyan, what's the source of this title? I looked at the site that seems to be in question and I can't find it.
      • 2010-03-18 07721, 2010

      • kyan
        The website hasn't been updated lately.
      • 2010-03-18 07712, 2010

      • kyan
        I have the title because I run the website.
      • 2010-03-18 07721, 2010

      • Leftmost
        Ahh.
      • 2010-03-18 07747, 2010

      • kyan
        Exactly.
      • 2010-03-18 07707, 2010

      • warp
        the database probably has a limit of 255 characters on release titles.
      • 2010-03-18 07741, 2010

      • warp
        it may be that the front-end isn't checking that restriction properly, which would get you a 500.
      • 2010-03-18 07756, 2010

      • kyan
        Hmmm...
      • 2010-03-18 07718, 2010

      • warp
        I know we fixed it for tracknames, but for release titles it wasn't that easy.. so hasn't been fixed yet.
      • 2010-03-18 07759, 2010

      • kyan
        As I said, the front-end limits the title, but it was adding an explanatory annotation that generated the 500.
      • 2010-03-18 07718, 2010

      • warp
        oh, really? that shouldn't happen :)
      • 2010-03-18 07738, 2010

      • kyan
        It did. :-P
      • 2010-03-18 07750, 2010

      • kyan
      • 2010-03-18 07755, 2010

      • warp gets "Warning: Someone else is currently editing this annotation! Please try again later. " and doesn't try changing it.
      • 2010-03-18 07736, 2010

      • kyan
        Probably the 500 prevented the session being closed.
      • 2010-03-18 07736, 2010

      • herojoker
        lol, what a title
      • 2010-03-18 07755, 2010

      • Leftmost
        Looks like there are some compat. characters in there.:P
      • 2010-03-18 07744, 2010

      • kyan
        herojoker: Exactly. It's even more impressive when we see the whole thing. (It's a spoof of those other really long titles, like "marienbad my love" (the full title is 70pages long).) :-)
      • 2010-03-18 07727, 2010

      • kyan
        (I made the title by incorrectly parsing an html file as utf-16. :-)
      • 2010-03-18 07717, 2010

      • Leftmost
        That would explain the compat chars.
      • 2010-03-18 07745, 2010

      • kyan
        Yes. (No, the html file wasn't in utf-16. :-)
      • 2010-03-18 07725, 2010

      • herojoker
        so you intentionally parsed a non-utf-16 html file as utf-16 text and used the whole result as a title for a release?
      • 2010-03-18 07750, 2010

      • herojoker
        weird, just weird
      • 2010-03-18 07753, 2010

      • kyan
        Exactly.
      • 2010-03-18 07711, 2010

      • kyan
        As I said, it is intended as a parody.
      • 2010-03-18 07702, 2010

      • herojoker
        i don't really get the intention of your page
      • 2010-03-18 07712, 2010

      • herojoker
        everything seems so random
      • 2010-03-18 07745, 2010

      • kyan
        It is. It is spoofing things that seem like English but aren't.
      • 2010-03-18 07703, 2010

      • kyan
        See http://pastebin.com/RCAWf1qb for an example

      • 2010-03-18 07707, 2010

        I decided to imitate it.
      • 2010-03-18 07721, 2010

      • kyan
        but in a different way...
      • 2010-03-18 07702, 2010

      • kyan
        But! Back to the topic. What would you recommend for adding it?

        what is that character list good for?
      • 2010-03-18 07732, 2010

      • kyan
        Reference.
      • 2010-03-18 07700, 2010

      • kyan
        If one want's to know what all the characters used in Cyrillic are, one can use that list.
