History:Next Generation Schema/Release Editor

Outstanding Tasks

Artist Credit Editor

• Support rearranging artists
• Only show one editor at a time
• Should there be a (real) link to the artist's pages?

  The artist comments frequently aren't enough of a cue so I find I very often end up clicking the artist name when setting track artists or creating artist-track ARs. If/when an editor needs to click an artist name they're doing so because they want to make sure they've added the correct artist, so I think if a link was implemented it should be added in the AC editor. --navap 18:48, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

• Alternative name column header needs to be renamed from "Name" to something like "Alternate Name" or "Alternative Name".

Tracklists

• Do we want to allow linking to existing recordings?
• Tracklist column headers should have a fixed width
• The first time a track name is converted into an input box the column widths are changed.
• Setting the track length of a new track causes the width of the length column to change.

  This doesn't happen if the track already exists and has no length, only when it's a new track.

• Move the "Add another track" button to the medium title row, align it to the right, rename it to "Add track".

Tracklist Importer

• Imported tracklists have real hyperlinks that navigate away from the editor.
• Add a button to the medium title row to use as an import button. It could either say "Import" or just be an up arrow icon.
• Lookup results should be formatted/stylized similar to how releases look on /release/MBID.
  • Release title and medium title rows should be touching and flush with each other.
  • Mediums that belong on the same release should be touching and have their column widths equal.
  • Add margin between the last medium and and the next release.
• Lookup results have extra non-existent results when searching for einstein on the beach.

Tracks

• Tracks that are drag/dropped in between the mediums should not be placed on the last medium, the drag should be aborted.
• If a track number is clicked, but the track not dragged it gets added to a group reorder.
  • When adding tracks to the group reorder, the tracks disappear when clicked.
  • When dragging multiple tracks, they all disappear if dragged in between the mediums.
• Add more width to the dragHelper to make it easier to separate the title from the artist.

Mediums

• Support looking up existing tracklists
• Support for changing medium format.
  • Medium format <select> contains no options if the mediums format is set to NULL.
• Drag and drop isn't setting anything
• Mouse cursor should change to 'move' when hovering over medium reordering area
• Add a medium format <select> to imported tracklists.
• When an imported tracklist is placed before an existing tracklist the medium number doesn't change.

Other Tasks

• Make sure delete buttons are added for all entities, and that they disable the appropriate fields.
• Add font-weight:normal !important; to span.comment.

Right Sidebar

• Adding new release labels
• Adding a label to a release label where it is currently NULL
• Language and script <select>s need to be sorted alphabetically.
• Empty options should be removed from the language, status, script, and country <select>s.
  • And perhaps move [Unknown] to the top of the list?
• Packaging <select> doesn't contain any options.
