Feature Request: Discogs Toolbar Button

I find myself frequently accessing the specific release Discogs page. This is typically to update data in Musicbrainz or to grab some disc art that may not be present in CAA.

It would be nice to have a toolbar button that takes you to the Discogs page that is linked in the entry for the release.

Currently I select the matched album, hit lookup in browser, then scroll to the bottom of the page to find the Discogs link. Direct toolbar access would be an improvement.

Thank you!

I’m not sure that this is appropriate to include in the Picard base code, but I can see that it would be useful to you (and likely others as well). I took this as a challenge and created the Album Links plugin to provide this support. Please see the User Guide for more information.

Instructions for installing a plugin from a URL can be found in the Picard User Guide.

If you do try this out, please let me know how it works for you (especially if you run into any problems). Thanks.

Thanks! It does work great in my limited testing so far! Only thought, could there be a action toolbar button to select this? If not, no issue. Thanks!

Good to hear. Thanks for letting me know.

Sorry, but the short answer is “No.” Unfortunately Picard’s plugin API doesn’t support adding items to the tool bar.
