An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment We were discussing this just this morning! Thing is, it feels like a redundant link. Do you think it's just that it needs to be "re-learned" that the "bliss" logo takes you to the front page, and the front page is (currently) dominated by the Inbox?
It could be that the Inbox gets its own page later, and we change the home page to have a smaller Inbox is combined with stats and other 'signposts' on the homepage.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks. After much delay, working on UX stuff, I'm hoping to get to a number of linked release related stuff soon.
An error occurred while saving the comment Good idea. Do you mean adding the URL for the release? Where would you want to find the data from?
Also, it would be good if the incorrect release wasn't chosen in the first place...

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep - really good point. Currently it appears with the same granularity as the rules on the settings page.

An error occurred while saving the comment "The Edit Album feature fails to update the missing genres and they have to be done one at a time."
I don't understand this bit - what do you mean by "Edit Album"?
If, on the album detail page (not within the tags) you click "Edit" for the album and change the genre (you can also change the year an title/artist) all the genres in all the files should be changed.
If that isn't changing all the genres, please replicate, then send us a debug archive - "Help" -> "Download debug archive".

An error occurred while saving the comment The page numbers are in the URL, so you could copy and paste the URL, but the more albums you show at once the less useful this gets.
Hmmmm... also (and I _think_ this works) if you copy the URL for an album (the last one you edit) then go back to that later, click the "back to album list" link at the top right, this should put you back on the page with the album in. I think...

An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, that's a nice nuance actually.
Bear in mind this idea was proposed before the UI refresh. The page used to look like the attached (this explains the "yellow bar" bit in the OP).
I'm leaving it open because artists still can't be filtered by starting letter.
I'm not sure whether it will be expedient to implement "advance to letter, while leaving other letters visible" style UI. I had a quick look and it feels like there might be advantages but I can't quite make them clear in my head right now. But obviously this is always a possibility when the result set has a natural order. If you have any UX links to explain the advantages (and disadvantages) that would be handy.
An error occurred while saving the comment This is already there for artists - have you seen "Starts with" in the yellow bar? Shall I change this idea to just cover artists?

An error occurred while saving the comment We already have that information in bliss, so would it not be better to just show some sort of tag or marker next to such albums? (Rather than force the user to tag it)

An error occurred while saving the comment Should do, if not it's a bug!
An error occurred while saving the comment In these cases you should unlink all the releases in the Linked Releases panel... does that help?

An error occurred while saving the comment If it just says "Scanning", you're right, it's just looking for files.
When it's analysing and fixing stuff it should say "Scanned 30 of 237 albums" (or whatever the numbers should be).
I agree this could be better communicated but it requires more screen real estate.

An error occurred while saving the comment This would be pretty simple to do with https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2019/02/13/find-replace-rule-fix-html-encoding/
However, I realise it's difficult to code and install these rules, so a generic "find and replace" rule would be useful.

An error occurred while saving the comment LOL - yeah but don't you want to know how much you're _saving_?
Just to check - you're referring to the display of fixes cost, right? It's not actually stopping you from doing anything?

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep - thanks - so you want to filter the non-alphanumerical (non Latin) characters out of the file paths.
An error occurred while saving the comment Do you mean inside file paths? Or in tags? I assume the former as you're writing about playlists.

An error occurred while saving the comment This definitely shouldn't happen. Can you provide an example, or send us a debug archive ("Help" > "Download debug archive" to support@blisshq.com )?
If the rescan button is pressed that will re-assess albums - that's because the album might have changed. You can use the "Rescan for new and updated albums" if you want to avoid rescanning existing albums.

An error occurred while saving the comment I think such a function would be well integrated with a new genre page, see http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/33826021-new-genre-page

An error occurred while saving the comment What do you mean by "break" here? What do you see?
Is this for an MP4 album? You might be right - it might relate to the formats permitted by the tag schema.
Could you send a debug archive - "Help" > "Download debug archive" - to support@blisshq.com ?

An error occurred while saving the comment Some similar ideas in this vein:
http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/16341559-import-folder
I might merge these into this idea, if you agree?

An error occurred while saving the comment This idea applies only to the behaviour of rescanning the _entire_ collection after adding a genre to the "allowed" list with the genre consolidation rule.
I have a feeling you are referring to where, if you change one thing on an album, _just_ that album is rescanned. Am I right?
Thanks for letting us know about this via support@ - the "funky stuff" doesn't sound desirable!
An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, that would be another solution.
Another workaround, and this is a bit crappy but, is to note down all the genres you want to allow and then add them yourself to the allowed genre list ( http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2011/07/05/new-release-20110628-from-genre-tree-to-genre-list/ ). Adding them in one batch at least means there's only one rescan.
But yeah, that's a pretty tedious workaround.
An error occurred while saving the comment I understand that this is a pain and it takes a long time, so I agree with your point. The reason it works this way is that (at the moment) it's the only way of asserting that all albums obey the new rules.
A few options that would speed this up:
- Record which genre each album falls into, and only re-assess those with the genre that has been added
- Only re-assess genre, not cover art, files etc -

An error occurred while saving the comment I tested the simple case of just displaying your album and it appears this works ok.
I think there might be an underlying issue, but I can't find anything obvious in any of the logs you have provided.
However I did find that, after the track names were corrected for this album, the bliss UI refreshed the album page and the out of memory error we discussed in the support forum occurred. I think this might be what you were seeing.
So if it's ok, I'll get back to you with the resolution on the memory issue, then you can retest this album?
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks, I'll try to replicate this.
I think you're right about not realising the logo is clickable, and making it more obvious about how to find the Inbox.
