An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, both good.
If possible, could you split one of these ideas to a separate idea? I prefer to keep these ideas atomic where possible... I can then edit the title for the remaining unsplit idea.

An error occurred while saving the comment Agreed - same goes for the total count in the [left/right] page navigator...

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you explain - there's already an "Artists" link which lists the artists... do you mean a list instead of a grid? What else should be in the list?

An error occurred while saving the comment Slightly meta, but this would be an interesting one in the sense that always-automated missing artwork completion was bliss's very very first feature - I took the decision at the time that it shouldn't even be customisable to make the tool as easy to use as possible with as few settings as possible: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2009/11/06/first-release/
I think it's a valid idea though.

An error occurred while saving the comment Presumably you mean when the music is NOT synced locally? If it is synced locally, might it work?
I've seen problems before where some services store an empty "shell" file representing the real cloud based file, bliss assumes it's a full music file, and baulks when trying to scan it.

An error occurred while saving the comment This would be useful, especially if the report button had a field where you could provide a URL for the correct release.
Can you send a debug archive separately - Help > Download debug archive? And confirm the name of the album.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks. Things to consider:
- Total length of file path
- Length of individual parts of the file name (folder/file names) -

An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, this is definitely something that could be done. I like the idea, goes well with other "integrity" ideas like checksumming etc.
How big a problem is CDs being sold that are lossy transcoded to PCM?

An error occurred while saving the comment Jim, you're probably not missing something. The automation settings are in the settings page, where automation is possible.
I tend to take the approach of making a rule manual first, then after some testing and iteration, make it (potentially) automatic.
If there's a specific rule you think can be automated, add that as a separate idea.
An error occurred while saving the comment I've had similar comments that it gets difficult to work with multiple track name fixes on the same album page, because compliance re-assessment occurs after each fix.
The Inbox might be closer to what you want, although it uses the same button-to-describe-fix approach. Thoughts on that?

An error occurred while saving the comment When using the release-canonical artist name, it would be just on a release by release basis. Maybe an artist released different albums with slightly different names!
An error occurred while saving the comment I was referring to your comments on other ideas such as http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/4461522-albums-and-artists-fusion
Agree about artist names being a difficult problem in isolation (we've seen that with the existing canonical artist name rule) but maybe what is easier is, when the release can be identified, the canonical artist *for the release* is used.
An error occurred while saving the comment I can see how this would help; in some ways it might be a short term fix to help you find these artists until a rule can be developed?

An error occurred while saving the comment Ok, so update on this is that I think to an extent release canonicalisation fixes this - if albums are split or duplicated with slightly different names, the album name correction rule should find them and suggest changing the names to the same thing (this would occur separately).
But I think this idea should remain open, basically because it could work around not being able to find the data for a release.
I see this more as a UI feature right now, rather than a rule. For example, being able to multi select as Bruno said to combine albums.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, there's definitely an aspect of this where you'd want to just fix it in your library, not necessarily use external definitions of canon.
An error occurred while saving the comment Would canonicalisation fix this? If the "correct" name for the release was found and both albums were changed to match this (maybe one doesn't need to be changed) wouldn't that work?
I ask because we already have this for artists: http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2012/02/28/errant-artist-names/

An error occurred while saving the comment I posted a way of automatically setting file ownership using inotify: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2017/06/06/changing-permissions/
An error occurred while saving the comment Took me a while to notice this one but here I am...
As bliss is written on Java 6, which has poor support for file permissions, this is difficult to do. If/when I move to Java 7, this will become much easier.

An error occurred while saving the comment Very true, but then it's a similar situation elsewhere - depending on your player different fields can be interpreted in different ways.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, that's a concern when changing existing fields, but if we combine that with online data, where the date is formatted in a consistent way, we can work around that.
An error occurred while saving the comment Also, more generally, support for formatting date/time fields. So you could specify:
YYYY
As your format, so only years are stored. Or:
MM/DD/YYYY
For a full date in the common US format.
Not sure how the date should be filled when there isn't enough information... maybe simply omitting the more specific parts would be fine.

An error occurred while saving the comment Good idea on the button.
For the colours, do you mean the text "Album name", "Genre" etc should be coloured differently to differentiate?

An error occurred while saving the comment Definitely agree, just something I haven't implemented yet. I'll change the title of the idea, if that's ok.

An error occurred while saving the comment Jason Schafer has written up some instructions on setting up an NGINX proxy in Windows, and I've adapted his instructions for Linux/OS X: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2017/03/07/setting-up-bliss-authentication/
An error occurred while saving the comment Ok, well I changed the idea to be a first, simple small step to introduce username/password authentication.
An error occurred while saving the comment Ok, well I prefer small steps, so can we change this idea to "Authenticated access to bliss", specifying minimum of HTTP basic authentication and the fact that there is only one level of authorisation: access? There would be no finer grained access control rules for this idea, that can come later.
I'm interested in the car PC project, let me know if I can be of any further help. I've had some previous contact from people who have installed bliss on ARM architectures.
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for this. What would you say is the absolute minimum first step? Adding a username/password challenge to bliss? Would you actually use this, and what are the reasons for using a username/password challenge?

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you explain some more? If you glance and there's no spinner there, doesn't that just mean it has finished?

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, was thinking about the common case but you're right, that needs consideration.
Thanks Ian. For restoring settings, see https://www.blisshq.com/support/faq/general/move-new-computer.html
Another thing is saving configurations for working with different hifi, software etc ...
