it doesnt redirect you, that's mb regular behvour, i think (wich ye, is SO annoying)

culinko
why not?
2017-07-22 20323, 2017
culinko
(assuming you prepare the target recording with fixes)
2017-07-22 20321, 2017
CatQuest has this.. I dunno if it's a ff plugin or if it's some cript or setting or some natural thing, anyway it lets me open up things that's usually a button in new pages. by using middle click button. so I select whatever types and middle click the button and it opens that page in a new tab
2017-07-22 20338, 2017
culinko
ok, worked perfectly, but there is still the redirect issue. i wonder if it even can be done by using the userscript
2017-07-22 20307, 2017
culinko
yeah i can middle click it to open the merge in the new tab, but it sucks cause you have to close the new tab after every merge
2017-07-22 20313, 2017
CatQuest
there shoudl be a way to avoid it, (see above)
2017-07-22 20320, 2017

psh

where would you want to go instead of getting redirected to the entity?
checked 2 recordings, pressed merge at the bottom, proceeded with the merge
2017-07-22 20319, 2017
culinko
after the merge i landed in the recording instead of the page i just linked
2017-07-22 20346, 2017
SothoTalker_
and opening the merge window in a new tab is too much work, ok :p
2017-07-22 20355, 2017
culinko
yeah because you have to close it after every merge
2017-07-22 20306, 2017
culinko
and it doesn't update the highlight on the first page unless you refresh the page
2017-07-22 20326, 2017
culinko
so you don't know which recordings you merged already (assuming you visited them before)
2017-07-22 20333, 2017
culinko
to check acoustids for example
2017-07-22 20300, 2017
culinko
so yeah, it kinda sucks
2017-07-22 20319, 2017
SothoTalker_
is there already a ticket for it? :)
2017-07-22 20344, 2017
SothoTalker_
after all, it's a bad user experience.

[21:49] <SothoTalker_> and opening the merge window in a new tab is too much work, ok :p that

2017-07-22 20316, 2017
SothoTalker_
well, i had the same problems like culinko, so i stopped doing merges :D
2017-07-22 20317, 2017
CatQuest
but I agree the highlight thing,

i wonder if this could be done with a userscript
2017-07-22 20335, 2017
culinko
if it can remember from which page you initiated the merge
2017-07-22 20351, 2017
SothoTalker_
that should be possible
2017-07-22 20306, 2017
culinko
because i am not sure if people want this as default behavior
2017-07-22 20340, 2017
culinko
cause the argument against can be that you want to check the target recording (or whichever recording you land in) after the merge if everything is fine and if the merge went through
2017-07-22 20330, 2017
culinko
but merging 10 pairs of recordings while landing away from the artist's recording page is not really practical
2017-07-22 20359, 2017
culinko
i guess i can just open a ticket at jesus' repo alongside a jira ticket (if there isn't already one) :P
should have saved me so much time when i was looking at edit history to find out which mbid is the oldest one :/
2017-07-22 20339, 2017

Freso: is there a thingy to save pages to archive (and other archives) again? (I'm asking oyu as i seem to remember that you where the one to mention it, if this is not you i appologise)
Colbydray: if you read this, it looks like merge helpor 2 is missing from your list ^+
2017-07-22 20338, 2017
CatQuest
culinko: do you know of the "merge recordings" one that jesus made that lets youm erge the recordings o ntwo releases? (very good for rereleases and such)
2017-07-22 20352, 2017
culinko
you mean mass merge recordings?
2017-07-22 20354, 2017

it's in his userspace, i won't touch this :)
2017-07-22 20336, 2017
CatQuest
maybe it's time to move it *out* of user space then
2017-07-22 20334, 2017
SothoTalker_
maybe, but that is not a thing that i will decide alone :-)
2017-07-22 20355, 2017
CatQuest
well yes :)
2017-07-22 20324, 2017
CatQuest
we should ask colby + maybe the meeting "do we wanna make this page (semi-)official) etc
2017-07-22 20341, 2017
CatQuest
then it's everybodies task to keep it up to speed
2017-07-22 20347, 2017

(and I myself would be happy to edit it)

you could put it on the agenda, yes. i won't attend it at those un-cristian times :p
