        unless it's added from an existing release group
      • 2009-04-05 09516, 2009

      • RifRaf
        sorts flacs, and different groups to different computers, different naming for some groups etc
      • 2009-04-05 09526, 2009

      • luks
        this will need to be changed, because it makes impossible to add releases with a discid under existing release group, but I'm not sure how yet
      • 2009-04-05 09526, 2009

      • pronik
        I've got a release that has got a transliteration pseudo-release, i'd like to put them into a group, how do I do that?

        hi nikki
      • 2009-04-05 09500, 2009

      • nikki
        did you ever see my message?
      • 2009-04-05 09507, 2009

      • luks
        pronik: all releases are in release groups, so you want to merge the release groups
      • 2009-04-05 09521, 2009

      • RifRaf
        handles me untagged files and audiobooks and hrm i forget, was along day starin at that code
      • 2009-04-05 09534, 2009

      • pronik
        even pseudo-releases?
      • 2009-04-05 09536, 2009

      • luks
        nikki: yes, but always too late, sorry :(
      • 2009-04-05 09554, 2009

      • luks
        pronik: when I say all, I mean all :)
      • 2009-04-05 09511, 2009

      • nikki
        too late? :o
      • 2009-04-05 09545, 2009

      • nikki was just wondering 'cause colloquy is stupid and doesn't tell her if the person is even online when she sends messages
      • 2009-04-05 09546, 2009

      • luks
        more than 6 hours after you said it, in both cases :)
      • 2009-04-05 09558, 2009

      • luks
        I'd still file a bug report
      • 2009-04-05 09506, 2009

      • luks
        because it must be fixed in multiple branches
      • 2009-04-05 09509, 2009

      • nikki
        sometimes I end up talking to myself 'cause the other person is using a different nick :/
      • 2009-04-05 09512, 2009

      • nikki
        ok
      • 2009-04-05 09528, 2009

      • RifRaf
        luks, can i copy a unmatched filename in picrad somehow?
      • 2009-04-05 09533, 2009

      • ruaok has quit
      • 2009-04-05 09552, 2009

      • RifRaf
        so i can use it to search etc
      • 2009-04-05 09509, 2009

      • luks
        I don't think so
      • 2009-04-05 09516, 2009

      • nikki
        luks: do you have user data on there?
      • 2009-04-05 09522, 2009

      • luks
        actually, maybe in details
      • 2009-04-05 09531, 2009

      • luks
        nikki: nope
      • 2009-04-05 09534, 2009

      • RifRaf
        is frustrating that the right click menu drops down
      • 2009-04-05 09548, 2009

      • RifRaf
        on them, i'd like to just click copy or something
      • 2009-04-05 09554, 2009

      • nikki
        oh, you already said that...
      • 2009-04-05 09524, 2009

      • luks
        what I mainly want to know, is if you think it can be released with interface like this
      • 2009-04-05 09543, 2009

      • luks
        the new artist page is obviously the biggest change
      • 2009-04-05 09549, 2009

      • pronik
        luks: I guess I don't see any real changes because I'm not an AutoEditor?
      • 2009-04-05 09525, 2009

      • navap
        pronik: Do you use the Compact listing often on the current server?
      • 2009-04-05 09543, 2009

      • luks
        pronik: you can accept your edits on the edit page
      • 2009-04-05 09548, 2009

      • pronik
        luks: just found it
      • 2009-04-05 09559, 2009

      • pronik
        navap: I guess I'm using compact always, lemme look

        luks: DBD::Pg::st execute failed: CHYBA: Funkcia set_release_group_firstreleasedate(integer) neexistuje
      • 2009-04-05 09521, 2009

      • navap
        If you are, then the changes on the artist page should be quite obvious :)
      • 2009-04-05 09533, 2009

      • luks
        pronik: thanks, will fix in a second
      • 2009-04-05 09541, 2009

      • luks
        pronik: fixed, I was doing a new import and forgot to change something
      • 2009-04-05 09521, 2009

      • pronik
        ok, seems to work even if UI could use a lot of work
      • 2009-04-05 09529, 2009

      • pronik
        so basically, everything is a release group now?
      • 2009-04-05 09558, 2009

      • luks
        I'm not sure how much UI work is possible with the current layout
      • 2009-04-05 09519, 2009

      • luks
        there a new layer above releases new
      • 2009-04-05 09527, 2009

      • luks
        now
      • 2009-04-05 09549, 2009

      • pronik
        Merging is rather difficult now, since you never know which release with the same name is which :)
      • 2009-04-05 09505, 2009

      • pronik
      • 2009-04-05 09512, 2009

      • luks
        is that a problem?
      • 2009-04-05 09524, 2009

      • luks
        only the name matters when merging a release group
      • 2009-04-05 09538, 2009

      • pronik
        hmm
      • 2009-04-05 09546, 2009

      • pronik
        there is probably no "main" release, right?
      • 2009-04-05 09553, 2009

      • luks
        yes
      • 2009-04-05 09517, 2009

      • pronik
        if you merge three releases with the same name, you have to remember which is which, since the edits won't be done by then yet
      • 2009-04-05 09526, 2009

      • pronik
        example: rammstein / amerika single
      • 2009-04-05 09551, 2009

      • luks
        you mean merging release groups or releases?
      • 2009-04-05 09556, 2009

      • pronik
        So you'll merge 1->2 and then try to merge 3 to somewhere and can't distinguish 1 from 2
      • 2009-04-05 09501, 2009

      • pronik
        release groups
      • 2009-04-05 09517, 2009

      • luks
        if you are merging 3 release groups with the same name, then it basically doesn't matter which one you merge into
      • 2009-04-05 09523, 2009

      • pronik
        currently there are three RGs: 1, 2 and 3 since auto-merging failed for those
      • 2009-04-05 09535, 2009

      • pronik
        right, but read the scenario above again
      • 2009-04-05 09542, 2009

      • pronik
        merging two of them is no problem
      • 2009-04-05 09554, 2009

      • pronik
        deciding where to merge the third into is
      • 2009-04-05 09512, 2009

      • navap
        They have separate mbid's..
      • 2009-04-05 09521, 2009

      • pronik
        not in the merge gui
      • 2009-04-05 09535, 2009

      • luks
        how would you disambiguate them?
      • 2009-04-05 09548, 2009

      • pronik
        good question, probably by number of releases
      • 2009-04-05 09549, 2009

      • luks
        I think people would normally merge all three in on edit
      • 2009-04-05 09552, 2009

      • luks
        *one
      • 2009-04-05 09555, 2009

      • pronik
        amerika (1, pending 2)
      • 2009-04-05 09512, 2009

      • pronik
        that'd be fine too, but probably too cumbersome for mason server
      • 2009-04-05 09528, 2009

      • pronik
        second options would be "amerika (1, pending 0)
      • 2009-04-05 09529, 2009

      • pronik
        "
      • 2009-04-05 09540, 2009

      • luks
        what is the pending number?
      • 2009-04-05 09554, 2009

      • pronik
        how many releases would be in a group if all edits pass
      • 2009-04-05 09520, 2009

      • pronik
        just an idea, could certainly use refining :)
      • 2009-04-05 09521, 2009

      • navap
        How does merging work? I clicked merge under the RG, but it only gives me one option, not two.
      • 2009-04-05 09542, 2009

      • navap
        Ah, but the other RG shows both.
      • 2009-04-05 09556, 2009

      • pronik
        I guess you also need an AR first
      • 2009-04-05 09500, 2009

      • pronik
        right, luks?
      • 2009-04-05 09504, 2009

      • luks
        it works the same way as you merge releases
      • 2009-04-05 09513, 2009

      • luks
        you add to the batch, and then merge all of them
      • 2009-04-05 09538, 2009

      • navap
        You do?
      • 2009-04-05 09544, 2009

      • navap
        It doesn't look that way.
      • 2009-04-05 09509, 2009

      • pronik
        batch editing doesn't have any RG merging options...
      • 2009-04-05 09511, 2009

      • navap
        Also, the UI that I had showed the individual MBIDs.
      • 2009-04-05 09533, 2009

      • luks
        I mean, it's a separate batch

        trying to merge http://89.103.90.126:5000/release-group/da6a81d7-… to other RG by the same name....

      • pronik
      • 2009-04-05 09547, 2009

      • navap
        Ah, okay I understand now; it does add it to the stack, it just doesn't let you know that that has happened.
      • 2009-04-05 09508, 2009

      • navap
        I see "Pork and Beans by Weezer" and "Das optimale Leben by Annett Louisan" on that page.
      • 2009-04-05 09505, 2009

      • navap
        Although I'm still confused why RG1 automatically showed RG2, but RG2 doesn't show RG1 on the merge page.
      • 2009-04-05 09530, 2009

      • nikki
        :o!

        The remove RG page gives a 404.
      • 2009-04-05 09511, 2009

      • navap
        I mean from the merge page.

      • luks

      • 2009-04-05 09546, 2009

      • pronik
        yes, but compact listing is "normally" something with checkboxes
      • 2009-04-05 09508, 2009

      • luks
        I'm not sure what the question is then :)

      • 2009-04-05 09549, 2009

        what would be the checkboxes for?
      • 2009-04-05 09505, 2009

        select several releases, batch edit, merge

        what do we consider release group? everything that is a different edition of the same stuff? "Fan edition", "Tour edition", "Extended 3cd edition", japanese release etc.?
      • 2009-04-05 09511, 2009

      • navap
        Can a release be in multiple RGs?
      • 2009-04-05 09533, 2009

        ooh, that would be a fun release.
      • 2009-04-05 09534, 2009

      • luks
        you can transform that question to "what do you consided an album?" (with the real-world term album)

        Minor thing, but the email that is sent for account verification includes a URL that points to localhost:5000.

        luks: what about singles released from a particular album. RG or not RG?
      • 2009-04-05 09542, 2009

      • luks
        I'd say singles are separate RGs

        I guess it depends on our (and BBC's ;)) definition of RG. I see logic in both ways...

        another question: a big 32-cd series, is it a release group?
      • 2009-04-05 09504, 2009

      • pronik
        (I'm afraid we'd need subgroups soon ;))
      • 2009-04-05 09514, 2009

      • luks
        not series
      • 2009-04-05 09527, 2009

      • luks
        each volume should have it's own RG
      • 2009-04-05 09535, 2009

      • pronik
        so bravo hits 42 cd 1 and 2 are a RG, bravo hits itself is not?
      • 2009-04-05 09541, 2009

      • luks
        right
      • 2009-04-05 09553, 2009

        series are handled by NGS properly, but not right now
