[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#423468: kid3: Add more columns to MusicBrainz results dialog

[Felipe Massia Pereira]

Package: kid3
Version: 0.7-3
Severity: wishlist


Please!

Sometimes you have good filenames, but you don't have track numbers (either
ID or in the filename). Then they are organized alphabetically:

01 aaa song
02 bbb song
03 ccc song
   etc.

If you get several results from the same album for "aaa song", you can't see
the song's name. It looks like that:

05 ...
06 | No result...
   | 11 aaa song / art / album [year]
   | 04 ccc song / art / album [year]
   +----------------------------------

The only reference the user has is the number 01, which can be related to
the 01 above, but it's in another window. How does he know if it's 11 or 04?
The user can, indeed, slide windows and align them side by side to do the
match.

Other approach is to read all options. It there is only one option from that
album, then it's done. But if you get more than one option from the same
album, you have to see the song's name.

Adding the Title column to the dialog will solve it better. If it gets too
wide, it could be resizeable or optional (right click on the table header or
two checkboxes).

This problem occurs only for song titles because when you have track numbers
you can sort the list sequentially and then the row number is equivalent to
track numbers (unless there are tracks missing...).
