Review/research “best” workflow (2018)

MusicBrainz Picard

Hi all,

Thanks for software

Hope you’re well

I originally posted this topic in 2016 and generated some useful discussion so thought I would follow up with a (hopefully) more clearly illustrated workflow

After some observations with a test case[e] here’s v1 of a script to list the “best” order of input actions to yield the least destructive output

[ ] Automatically scan new files
[x] Ignore MBIDs when loading new files

1. start/restart mb
2. cluster
3. lookup
4. save/transfer gold to gold releases
5. start/restart mb
6. cluster
7. scan
8. save/transfer gold to gold releases
9. start/restart mb
10. cluster
11. lookup
12. find existing release
13. save/transfer silver to gold releases
14. start/restart mb
15. cluster
16. scan
17. find existing release
18. save/transfer silver to gold releases
19. start/restart mb
20. lookup
21. create new release
22. save/transfer unmatched to gold releases
23. start/restart mb
24. scan
25. create new release
26. save/transfer unmatched to gold releases

If you have any issues (e.g. questions/queries) happy to help

Hope this is clearer than my previous, original, post

Keep up great work!

Hi,

Sorry, I don’t understand the question

I created the script manually to remind me of the order to run commands, there’s no automation here

Hope this helps!

Regards
