        how could i live without it until now?
      • CatQuest
        it doesnt redirect you, that's mb regular behvour, i think (wich ye, is SO annoying)
      • SothoTalker_
        the older is not always the better one :)
      • culinko
        why not?
      • (assuming you prepare the target recording with fixes)
      • 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
      • ok, worked perfectly, but there is still the redirect issue. i wonder if it even can be done by using the userscript
      • 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
      • CatQuest
        there shoudl be a way to avoid it, (see above)
      • psh
      • SothoTalker_
        where would you want to go instead of getting redirected to the entity?
      • CatQuest
        eh back to the recording apge?
      • culinko
        to the page where i started the merge
      • CatQuest
        or that, yea :D
      • culinko
      • checked 2 recordings, pressed merge at the bottom, proceeded with the merge
      • after the merge i landed in the recording instead of the page i just linked
      • SothoTalker_
        and opening the merge window in a new tab is too much work, ok :p
      • culinko
        yeah because you have to close it after every merge
      • and it doesn't update the highlight on the first page unless you refresh the page
      • so you don't know which recordings you merged already (assuming you visited them before)
      • to check acoustids for example
      • so yeah, it kinda sucks
      • SothoTalker_
        is there already a ticket for it? :)
      • after all, it's a bad user experience.
      • CatQuest
        [21:49] <SothoTalker_> and opening the merge window in a new tab is too much work, ok :p that
      • :P
      • SothoTalker_
        well, i had the same problems like culinko, so i stopped doing merges :D
      • CatQuest
        but I agree the highlight thing,
      • ¬¬
      • culinko
        damn i should have listed this in the survey!
      • SothoTalker_
        just fill it out again. :)
      • suhas2go joined the channel
      • culinko
        i wonder if this could be done with a userscript
      • if it can remember from which page you initiated the merge
      • SothoTalker_
        that should be possible
      • culinko
        because i am not sure if people want this as default behavior
      • 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
      • but merging 10 pairs of recordings while landing away from the artist's recording page is not really practical
      • i guess i can just open a ticket at jesus' repo alongside a jira ticket (if there isn't already one) :P
      • https://musicbrainz.org/edit/46740183 - how could i not use this glorious userscript already?
      • should have saved me so much time when i was looking at edit history to find out which mbid is the oldest one :/
      • CatQuest
        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)
      • for some reason waybac khas problems with http://www.pacoweb.net/cgi-bin/CDdetail.pl?m=16...
      • SothoTalker_
      • Colbydray: if you read this, it looks like merge helpor 2 is missing from your list ^+
      • 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)
      • culinko
        you mean mass merge recordings?
      • CatQuest
        SothoTalker_: it's a wiki, yo ucna update it
      • culinko: on release pages, yes
      • culinko
        yeah it's awesome
      • CatQuest
        ikr? <3
      • SothoTalker_
        it's in his userspace, i won't touch this :)
      • CatQuest
        maybe it's time to move it *out* of user space then
      • SothoTalker_
        maybe, but that is not a thing that i will decide alone :-)
      • CatQuest
        well yes :)
      • we should ask colby + maybe the meeting "do we wanna make this page (semi-)official) etc
      • then it's everybodies task to keep it up to speed
      • (and I myself would be happy to edit it)
      • SothoTalker_
        you could put it on the agenda, yes. i won't attend it at those un-cristian times :p
      • CatQuest
        well im on vacation until the 1st so..
      • remind me on the 32'rd and I'll do it!
      • erh... 31'st :P
      • SothoTalker_
        if i dont forget ;-)
      • CatQuest
        :)
      • SothoTalker_
        but i want a banner on it that says that those userscripts are not officially supported by musicbrainz :D

        "Various UI enhancements for Musicbrainz."
      • interesting script description
      • SothoTalker_
        just minor things
      • culinko
        looked at the page but didn't find anything interesting which i wouldn't already have .P
      • i'm currently using these: mb. INLINE STUFF, mb. INLINE TRACK ARTIST, mb. MASS MERGE RECORDINGS, mb. PENDING EDITS, mb. MERGE HELPOR 2, MusicBrainz: Expand/collapse release groups, MusicBrainz: Set recording comments for a release, MusicBrainz: Hide PUID edits
      • SothoTalker_
        auto focus + keyboard select is useful
      • and the fill entity from wikidata/viaf script by loujine, if you add/edit artists that have this
      • culinko
        i usually edit existing stuff, rarely adding something new
      • SothoTalker_
        i do both
