I think I found a bug for the new Rel Editor, wanted to check and possibly to create a ticket at https://tickets.metabrainz.org/secure/Dashboard... but can't pass the captcha. What am I missing ?

nadl40, it sounds like you have an ad or tracker blocker getting in the way. Try turning them off and see if that helps.

rdswift thanks, it turns out that I had to reset the pass and the captcha messages were just distractions.

nadl40: what was the bug? :)

did you manually create the recording? not sure how you'd specify that 2 tracks are the same when first importing and the recordings don't exist?

reosarevok  Release https://musicbrainz.org/release/21858f0d-c545-4... CD 07. Recordings 3,5,6 are linked to the same work. When I try to click on 'X' to remove the work rels on either side of th editor, ALL 3 instances of the relationship are highlighted for removal when 1 of them is correct. I would've

expect to highlite only the recording that I've clicked on. Bug ?

wow : https://www.reddit.com/r/Macroblank/comments/vy...

atj: that's the point. I guess you're right that I could create the recording as standalone first.

Yeah, the only way to avoid that is adding a "standalone"

i don't see how you can avoid that really

I mean, the editor could have a way to say "use the same new recording as for track 1"

But it's such an edge case, it's probably not worth it tbh

the add release form is helping you by automatically creating the recordings, right?

who is releasing something with the same track on it twice anyway? :)

Side A / Side B double side same song?

reosarevok: yeah.

derwin: is this something i'd know about?

nadl40: that does seem like a bug. I wonder what happens if you submit it :)

derwin: is that "wow" as in "wow, I like this music and didn't know it was this" or "wow, that's shameless", or something else? :D Never heard of the artist

I run into that a lot with CD/Blu-ray releases. I just let it create the two recordings then merge them, or create one medium first give it a minute and then add the other medium using the recordings just made.

the description of the "recording engineer" relationship seems a bit specific - https://musicbrainz.org/relationship/a01ee869-8...

i use it when someone is credited with "recorded by" in the notes for a release, is that wrong?

No

That's the intenton

*intention

well, I don't they're recording it to tape :P

*I don't think

Yeah, I guess that might have been a biiiiit old fashioned of a description

How would you word it?

"This describes an engineer responsible for committing the performance to tape or another recording medium. This can be as complex as setting up the microphones, amplifiers, and recording devices, or as simple as pressing the 'record' button on a 4-track or a digital audio workstation."

atj: sure, why not

Updated

nadl40: are you adding a ticket for that bug you found or should I? :) I don't think it's a known one, anyway

jesus

reosarevok  I marked it for delete, then added the correct work rel to 1 recording and it's applying the new work to all 3 recordings, so this is a bug. Please create one, will be done properly

bitmap: ^ that's an unreported issue so far, right?

("Release https://musicbrainz.org/release/21858f0d-c545-4... CD 07. Recordings 3,5,6 are linked to the same work. When I try to click on 'X' to remove the work rels on either side of th editor, ALL 3 instances of the relationship are highlighted for removal when 1 of them is correct.")

it might be the same issue as the one I was working on

I can submit a fix now but didn't have time to finish writing a test

Can you test whether it solves that issue by hand at least? :)

We can always put the fix in beta, and then update it with the test after it's ready, if you don't think it makes things *worse* than accidentally removing extra rels :)
