that modal may be a "search" modal tho, and you're not searching
and I guess you currently hit "edit" next to artists
and there is no such button for durations, and probably shouldn't be
reosarevok
You don't need to hit "edit" at all if there's only one artist, of course
darwin
like I said, most of my issues are kinda minor things where I have to scroll the page to do something
reosarevok
(although I sometimes do, because yeah, that's the only easy way to go up/down :p )
darwin
but they're so common that they take a lot of effort in sum
oh, a favorite hated one. add artist from modal. always have to scroll it.
and a bunch of space is wasted by annotations text box
I feel like I should state that I am aware that the release editor is a very very complicated and often nested UI, and that it's not trivial to create non-scrolling in every case

It's also a ball of mess :p
(hopefully will become less so with the React port)

forme, in the in-linesearch (like darwin mentioned having to scroll to go "next")
my pita is that ifi select something (eg recording to link to a work, a release ot lni kto a series) it doesnt remember where it was whne i try linknig the *next* one
i wish it did that. wish it evne gave soem sort of visual for those already "selected" for this edit (edit work and edit seris, or ad wor and addseries)
it'z the #1 reason I don't add stuff to series :o
imagine a series with 200 entries. you cant add thme in any kind of batch what-so ever
i was just saying that it existed, not that anyone needed to use it...
reosarevok
Sure :) I guess it might be good to off it in case someone is very actively requesting takedowns of places that link to illegal downloads
I think most often people off just so that nobody can link *them* to such downloads, but dunno :)

MBS-5818: Make it possible to have ordered collections (lists)
darwin
or "promo only july 2017"

reosarevok what's you view on 'playlists' like itunes, spotify ones ?
should we add them to MB or not
reosarevok
I'd say generally no, because there's nothing differentiating my own random playlist from any other
At least in Spotify
I'm willing to make exceptions for especially relevant ones

ultimately, what would be a good way to do this would be to have a section/site that pulls from MB but that you can create your own "series"
then they could be shared, made public, rated, tagged, etc.
but only if it was reasonable to do something from that.
Lotheric
playlists are popular on spotify, ppl share them on reddit etc..
iconoclasthero
it also could be a way of directing traffic to a streaming site for revenue.
Lotheric
having public collections or series or playlists that ppl could share would be a plus for site trafic
imho
like Picard is bringing more ppl to edit on MB
iconoclasthero
thats how i got here
reosarevok
Lotheric: I absolutely agree with sharing public collections and whatnot
iconoclasthero
i think that is a blue sky kind of idea...
reosarevok
I just don't think they should be releases
And I'm not convinced they should be series
iconoclasthero
what about this: use the series bucket for now...see if the numbers start taking off and then go from there?
if no one uses it then it is moot.
otherwise, you can solicit feedback on the feature to figure out what to do with it
Lotheric
maybe it could be added to critiquebrainz (reviews and playlists)
and then integrated with MB (facts)
in the long run
just thinking aloud
reosarevok
So, the main difference between series and collections is that in series, everyone can see whether something is linked to one from the main page for the release/recording/whatever
iconoclasthero
what about looking at how goodreads does it?
reosarevok
For collections, that's not the case, you need to specifically go to the collections section
But then you can see it's in "10 best industrial albums", by reosarevok
