I'm wondering what unnecessary artist data is as well.

Does it still tag all Artist ANVs, Members, Multi, and Variations like the old script?  Thanks.

Unnecessary = not used. Previously, we were loading the releases for an artist even if all we needed was to get the ANVs. In the old API this was free, but in the new API it's quite slow.

Updates:
* Fixed "exact match" and ordering in the artist search results.
* Restored rating, votes, have, want, and submitter tags.
* Disabled "View Artist Art Page" for the time being (it didn't work).
* Fixed update artist art potentially downloading the same artist multiple times.
* Removed artist_id tag, changed artist_link and label_link tags to artist_id and label_id, respectively.

The last update there might be a little disruptive if you have anything that depends on the LINK tags. They should continue to work, but new tags will be written as ID instead. When first loading this version, it will modify your config file to make that change. If someone wants to try out the new version and report any problems, that would be good. It probably won't be an "official" update for awhile.

zoomorph, still 1.39. I have no idea why I am keeping this plugin and keep updating it since I've never use it (freedb and MusicBrainz are enough for me) but thanks for your work.

This is funny. I find both others of no use. :-)

Can we please stick to the topic?

This one still shows 1.39.

Thanks zoomorph,
it really is a motivating status, to see this useful plugin rapidly updated the last days/weeks :-)

I always wished, the plugin window would be resizeable at all.
all the needed information were stuck into this tiny little small unreadable window, which can't be resized in any way for the use with a nowadays display size. its just made for the monitors bought in the early 90s 8-)

anyway, I'll try to add tihs fq to the bitbucket as soon as I created the 5435252th account for an internet site this month... :)

When you use "Fetch all available art", is there any way to customise how each image is named? Right now it's cover.jpg, cover_2.jpg, cover_3.jpg but I'd like it to be disc.jpg, back.jpg.

I searched for this, but couldn't find anything.

i don't *think* there is anyway to differentiate the type of cover. you should wait for confirmation from someone who really knows though.

For some releases like http://www.discogs.com/release/78660 foo_discogs doesn't show any tracks at all, due to the exclusive use of (in Discogs parlance) index and sub tracks. The same is true for track headers. Would it be possible for foo-discogs to retrieve all those as well and maybe have tick boxes underneath the tracklist to choose whether to show (and use) them?

v1.40 has been released.
* The component now pops up an alert the first time you open the find_release window if you haven't configured OAuth yet. OAuth is supposedly going to be required by Discogs for the search endpoints any day now. You can put junk in the OAuth token/secret boxes if you want to suppress this without actually configuring OAuth (although it's likely that searching won't work soon without OAuth).
* A "Configuration" button was added to the find_release window for convenience.
* An option was added to the Art configuration page to use the API for images. There's still a retarded limit of 1000 images per day PER APP (instead of per user, as it should be), so the default is currently to bypass the API, but this option could be useful in the future.
* The LINK tags are now replaced by ID tags. Old LINK tags (which contain IDs) will continue to work for viewing artist/release/label pages, but will no longer be written by that name.

Discogs doesn't label images as front, back, etc. The only way to do is to manually look at them and decide what they are showing.

Here is an updated version that should support sub-tracks:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/l90jrf

Let me know if it works and if you find any issues or any other releases that it doesn't work properly for.

I've tested it with:
http://www.discogs.com/release/49473  (sub-tracks)
http://www.discogs.com/release/164082 (track position range)

That was very fast! Thank you, sir.

Works great with http://www.discogs.com/release/78660 and http://www.discogs.com/release/1545288 , but something funky is happening with http://www.discogs.com/release/5555706 , tracks with no subtracks get repeated for no reason (that I as %generic_dumb_user% can observe). Easy enough to delete superfluous tracks and renumber of course.

Hi zoomorph,

thanks for the updates.

I've just noticed that "Replace ANVs" isn't working anymore.
Is there anything you can do about this?

To be honest, I've never used the ANV stuff much so I don't really know how it's supposed to work. Could you describe how it's broken? I think you have to select "enable ANV processing" for "Replace ANVs" to be available.

You're right. Sorry. However the option must have been unchecked automatically when I updated to the latest component version.

In case you're interested in what this does:

Some artists have name variations. DJ Tiësto for instance is sometimes referred to as DJ Tiesto (notice the e) or simply Tiesto on compilation releases.
Replacing ANVs (Artist Name Variations) by the artists main name helps keeping the database organized, for instance when viewing the media library by %artist%.
(Personally I store the artist name as is on the original release in an additional field %artistvariation% though).
