hi dave
08:24:40 [djce]
Morning! Evening!
08:25:00 [tma]
one of those, yes :)
08:25:14 [djce]
Delete as applicable.
08:25:19 [djce]
So, about album attributes.
08:25:30 [tma]
yes ..
08:25:39 [djce]
Do you think it should be impossible to add the whole release until the attribute has been chosen?
08:25:52 [djce]
or should it be added, then the attribute applied later if one is selected?
08:26:31 [djce]
It's really just a question of whether you'd rather have missing data, or possibly incorrect data.
08:26:47 [tma]
pref. missing .. that way you know it's missing
08:27:14 [tma]
if it's incorrect, there's no way to tell without further research
08:27:25 [djce]
OK how about this... the album attr page is shown,
08:27:34 [djce]
an option MUST be selected before the release is added,
08:27:41 [djce]
but one of the options is "I don't know".
08:27:57 [tma]
sounds fine
08:28:02 [djce]
ok. good.
08:28:25 [tma]
the "auto make it a single if <conditions>" thing would be a more advanced setting, imo
08:28:44 [djce]
I don't quite understand how that would work really. But as you say, it's a "maybe later" thing.
08:28:48 [tma]
people can turn that on if they want
08:29:17 [djce]
So, I finally got my laptop to run the wireless card in Linux last night.
08:29:32 [tma]
ie: default options makes new entries "None, None". if the editor plays with their profile options, they can set it to do something else ..
08:29:37 [djce]
all I need to do now is find out how to make debian auto-enable and configure it at startup.
08:30:06 [tma]
I've never played with wireless on debian (or any linux, for that matter)
08:30:24 [djce]
Now that's what I don't get: there seems to be a conflict between:
08:30:29 [tma]
I'm sure it's possible. I recall there being a number of threads on the debian user list about it a while ago
08:30:43 [djce]
1. album attrs are required and must be entered before the album is added
08:30:44 [djce]
and
08:30:50 [djce]
2. default options makes new entries "None, None"
08:31:15 [djce]
Required === there is no default
08:31:15 [djce]
?
08:31:18 [tma]
I thought we'd just established that one of the options would be "I don't know" which would equate to "None"
08:31:23 [tma]
this would be the default, yes?
08:31:39 [djce]
I was thinking that there would be no default.
08:31:48 [djce]
So you would have to manually choose "I don't know".
08:32:09 [djce]
More work for the user, but it's a conscious choice thing.
08:32:11 [tma]
that sounds fine, no defaults then, unless the user profile says otherwise .. :)
08:32:18 [djce]
ok :-)

Ugh, someone's linking to freedb in a mod note as proof that their mod is correct.
19:23:26 [HairMetalAddict]
That's like linking to a Usenet post to prove your theory that there's life on the sun.
19:24:00 [HairMetalAddict]
Oh, it's Mo. My surprise lessens.

"When two artists collaborate on a track or release, file the track/release under the primary artist, and then append the name of the secondary artist to the name of the track/release as follows: Put Your Lights On (feat. Everlast) If neither artist can be considered secondary, choose EITHER artist."
19:28:25 [HairMetalAddict]
For the love of Goddess, someone rewrite this before we end up with Simon (feat. Garfunkel) and The Captain (feat. Tenille)
