      • Shouldn't these both either include ""Brother"" or exclude ""Brother""?
      • also, why is it so difficult to search for the UUID above?
      • if you put an MB-assigned UUID into any search field, it should spit out the record associated with it. that's what a UUID is for, isn't it?

        iconoclasthero: there's a search by MBID in the /search page, at least
      • But yes, agreed it should work better

        Maybe I should work on that onee

        damnit, i was on that page and didn't see it.
      • anyway, i think my point is well taken...if you were to put any MB UUID into any search field, shouldn't it, by definition be a unique identifier and thus call up the one and only one hit tied to that UUID?
      • I'm not sure what sort of overhead it adds to the search unless you can write code that would recognize it as a UUID first and then search just the UUID fields.
      • it looks like the MBID field already has code for recognizing what is and is not a UUID.
      • RyanWolf1123
        hey to you too iconoclasthero
      • reosarevok
        iconoclasthero: I wouldn't be fully happy with that solution because you know then someone will name themselves or their release with an MBID (that is different from their own)
      • Because lulz
      • reosarevok is looking at dseomn
      • iconoclasthero
        ok, but...
      • BilleeKhoj
        :D
      • iconoclasthero
        if the solution recognized that it was a UUID (including MBIDs), and it searched only for the fields that contained MBIDs, then it would defeat the purpose of someone naming themselves or their release w/an MBID, wouldn't it?
      • BilleeKhoj
        .. except
      • people are.. well
      • iconoclasthero
        assholes?
      • BilleeKhoj
        trolls mostly :D
      • nah i wouldnt go that far
      • iconoclasthero
        i usually do
      • BilleeKhoj
        doing it for the lulz, not the evulz
      • iconoclasthero
        case in point: we bought a new, good net for the volleyball court i play at at the state park. we had to lock it (and i just took it down for the winter) because someone stole the good net another group had purchased for the court they play on.
      • reosarevok
        Ouch
      • Well, some people are assholes, but in MB they're mostly just friendly trolls
      • iconoclasthero
        who steals a volleyball net and to what end? the volleyball net blackmarket?
      • it's top of mind since i did that over the weekend and was trading emails with the park superintendant just now
      • ok, point taken.
      • reosarevok
        Their own volleyball court? To sell for cheap? To cover it with petrol, set it on fire and laugh like the idiot they are?
      • I could believe any of those
      • iconoclasthero
        yeah, i tossed around those ideas...either way, it is now sitting on my back patio waiting for enough dry days to put it away for the winter (after the rain rinses off the sand from everything.
      • anyway, back to the topic on hand...
      • if the solution recognized that it was a UUID (including MBIDs), and it searched only for the fields that contained MBIDs, then it would defeat the purpose of someone naming themselves or their release w/an MBID, wouldn't it?
      • also, people would need to *know* that it did that and *then* namethemselves, etc., a MBUUID...which could probably be filtered out in the approval process?
      • BilleeKhoj
        peopel aren't naming themselves wiyh an mbdi for the purpose of finding thme, but for the purpose of trolling
      • "becasue they can"
      • iconoclasthero
        i do a lot of things because i can...i just don't find that funny i guess.
      • BilleeKhoj
        it's more nerdy-troll than haha.troll
      • ... wat..
      • reosarevok
        Yeah, my fear is someone names themselves after an UUID (it doesn't even have to be an MB reference, god knows what other UUID use they might be referencing) and then we can never find them
      • :D

      • TOPIC: MusicBrainz Community | See #metabrainz for development and the other *Brainz’s | Channel is logged; see https://musicbrainz.org/doc/IRC for details | Latest Release: https://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=7749 | Picard 2.2.3 released! https://picard.musicbrainz.org
      • Leftmost
        With picard 2.2.3, I can't seem to drag files out of the right-hand pane to the left-hand, which means I can't scan them and generate fingerprints. Is there an alternate means?
      • outsidecontext
        Leftmost: does work here, what OS?
      • Leftmost
        Linux. When I drag to the left pane, nothing happens to the files under the release.
      • outsidecontext
        Have you tried dragging directly into the unmatched files entry on the left?
      • Is this on Wayland?
      • Leftmost
        I have. And yes, it's on Wayland. I've tried dragging both the individual track and the release as a whole with no success.
      • outsidecontext
        I would recommend running Picard on xwayland. Qt on Wayland is not quite there yet, there are a couple of issues. This might be one of them
      • Leftmost
        Yeah, running via xwayland seems to make it work. 🙄
      • Thanks.
