Package: flactag Version: 2.0.4-3 Severity: wishlist Currently, when using the batch mode to operate on many flac files, there is a pause between each file while flactag queries MusicBrainz. The pause can last 5-10 seconds depending upon network conditions and the MusicBrainz service availability.
E.g. if the user specifies ten files, then for each file: 1. 5 second pause 2. flactag shows possible match(es) 3. user chooses how to proceed 4. goto step 1 (user waiting 5-10 seconds before interacting with flactag again) This pause between every operation can be frustrating for the user. A better strategy would be: - scan all the flac files mentioned on the command line - obtain all possible data for all of the files from MusicBrainz (maybe with parallel requests from a thread pool for better performance), show a progress bar while this is happening - show a GUI listing each title and allowing the user to quickly move between them in a list or using forward/back buttons Once the user reaches the GUI stage, there should not be any pauses as all relevant data has already been fetched from MusicBrainz. _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
