        I've loaded the Album information into Picard from the Tagger icon

        • 2007-09-14 25716, 2007

      • outsidecontex1
        now move the files

        vmlemon: does it work?

        • 2007-09-14 25714, 2007

      • vmlemon
        Just getting it to reload the album data

        • 2007-09-14 25756, 2007

      • outsidecontex1
        what happens if you drag the analyzed files on the album tracks?

        • 2007-09-14 25708, 2007

      • vmlemon
        That was fun, it just crashed twice

        • 2007-09-14 25726, 2007

      • outsidecontex1
        picard 0.7 likes to do that. you have to be extremely carefull with drag and drop

        • 2007-09-14 25747, 2007

      • outsidecontex1
        maybe you should really try out http://musicbrainz.org/doc/PicardQt

        • 2007-09-14 25703, 2007

      • vmlemon
        I've linked one, and that track lights the Submit icon

        • 2007-09-14 25710, 2007

      • outsidecontex1
        cool

        • 2007-09-14 25711, 2007

      • vmlemon
        It's being fussy about the other track, though

        • 2007-09-14 25727, 2007

      • outsidecontex1
        hopefully you can now submit

        • 2007-09-14 25739, 2007

      • vmlemon
        Yay, it finally submits

        • 2007-09-14 25748, 2007

      • outsidecontex1
        it's always possible that there is no PUID available for your track

        • 2007-09-14 25719, 2007

      • vmlemon
        I'm expecting it to crash sometime in the next 30 seconds - minute

        • 2007-09-14 25729, 2007

      • vmlemon
        PUIDs Submission Failed :(

        • 2007-09-14 25700, 2007

      • outsidecontex1
        is your password and username correct?

        • 2007-09-14 25708, 2007

      • vmlemon
        Yes

        • 2007-09-14 25725, 2007

      • vmlemon
        I'll have a look at the other Picard variant

        • 2007-09-14 25731, 2007

      • outsidecontex1
        vmlemon: sorry, i have to go now. I wish you luck

        do you have www.musicbrainz.org set as server, or the uk one?

        hmmm, as long as the l/p is set correctly, you ought to be submiting

        Does it log anything interesting?

        • 2007-09-14 25747, 2007

      • brianfreud
        I didn't read the full scrollback - which version of picard/picardqt are you using, and on what os?

        • 2007-09-14 25751, 2007

      • vmlemon
        Not sure why it keeps failing

        Evening. :)

      • vmlemon
        Kubuntu (Linux 2.6.x), Picard 0.7.2

        • 2007-09-14 25747, 2007

      • brianfreud
        hmmm - well, 0.7.2 has numerous issues

        • 2007-09-14 25708, 2007

      • vmlemon
        libtunepimp5-mp3 package is installed

        • 2007-09-14 25710, 2007

      • brianfreud
        you may want to try the latest version. it's still alpha, but a very strong alpha

        • 2007-09-14 25725, 2007

      • brianfreud
        wiki.musicbrainz.org/picardqt iirc

        • 2007-09-14 25727, 2007

      • vmlemon
        Is the -Qt version any more reliable?

        • 2007-09-14 25736, 2007

      • brianfreud
        very

        • 2007-09-14 25744, 2007

      • brianfreud
        much easier ui as well

        • 2007-09-14 25724, 2007

      • vmlemon
        Thanks, I'll call it a day with the GTK version, and try to install the Qt version

        • 2007-09-14 25728, 2007

      • brianfreud
        by the way, the answer to your implied question in edit 7520694 is exactly what you're trying to do :)

        • 2007-09-14 25756, 2007

      • brianfreud
        the puid is added via picard/picardqt

        • 2007-09-14 25707, 2007

      • vmlemon
        I was looking for a way to add a PUID through the web interface

        • 2007-09-14 25731, 2007

      • brianfreud
        (un)fortunately, no way to do it via the web

        • 2007-09-14 25738, 2007

      • vmlemon
        Since I already had the two IDs, but of course, one has to jump through hoops and do stupid runarounds :(

        • 2007-09-14 25746, 2007

      • nullptr
        adding it through picardqt can cause a lot of havoc

        • 2007-09-14 25710, 2007

      • nullptr
        when i let picard scan e.g. some soundtrack it often shuffles the tracks of it into 3 different releases for no apparent reason

        • 2007-09-14 25720, 2007

      • nullptr
        if someone was then to submit those as ID PUID pairs

        yeah

      • chillware
        brianfreud: good morning :) question for ya, is it possible to create a picard plugin that would delete the selected files from the disk?

        • 2007-09-14 25746, 2007

      • nullptr
        it moved the tracks into 3 different versions of it but i couldn't really determine why

        • 2007-09-14 25710, 2007

      • brianfreud
        chillware: theoretically, one could be written - but I don't have the skills in python to write one...

        • 2007-09-14 25726, 2007

      • brianfreud
        no idea how to do file manipulation in python

        • 2007-09-14 25736, 2007

        nullptr: have you tried setting your match %'s higher?

        • 2007-09-14 25739, 2007

        hmm ok

        • 2007-09-14 25742, 2007

        i'll try it

        • 2007-09-14 25719, 2007

        NATs?

        • 2007-09-14 25737, 2007

      • brianfreud
        fight club I've seen myself match out badly - it's a good one for playing with the % settings to try and find a "sweet spot" for not getting many erronious VA matches

        • 2007-09-14 25759, 2007

      • brianfreud
        aCiD2: I'd say NATs but only when absolutely needed - a lot of those look like they're from singles (aka http://www.offkeymp3.com/discography-Propaganda.h… )

        • 2007-09-14 25730, 2007

        • 2007-09-14 25749, 2007

      • chillware
        and what var does picard use for path/to/file?

        • 2007-09-14 25757, 2007

      • Freso
        os.unlink() also works, but is, AFAICT, just a 'mirror' function of os.remove(), to help Unix folks.

      • brianfreud
        they're rather simple - I wrote my search ones just by screwing around in the ones luks already had written, and reading through the picard code a little

        • 2007-09-14 25756, 2007

      • chillware
        i figured they would be, just simple scripts.. ive written a million and one script w/ vb and php.. cant be much different

        locally? as in US?
