A_Boring_Story Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm using the beta version now, and I like it. Mainly because I've been able to update releases and pressing info for bands that I've added to the listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectivemike Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is a huge improvement already, I haven't updated my tradelist on there for months because it's so annoying to do. What did you dislike about it? Prior to DF, I was using Record Nerd where each individual album had to be loaded in one at a time whereas on DF you can put in as many as you want at one time. I have an Excel spreadsheet I keep up to date, and whenever I'd go on DF to update my list there I would copy and paste the entire thing into the "Add to tradelist" window. Then I'd publish it and realize that it would literally just add the entire spreadsheet to my already existing list - so I'd have doubles of every album. Obviously this was 100% my error... but it still drove/drives me nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezfools Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm digging the beta version so far. Haven't had much of a chance to really dig in and mess with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Revival Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is gonna make me sound super anal and OCD, but I wish there was a way to alphabetize your list, mine is all over the place and I'd like to be able to move it around within my list so I can make it alphabetized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at mine it like splits in half making it basically two separate segments and it drives me nuts, I wish we had an option as to how to sort, by a-z by artist, a-z by album, or year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, whenever you go in to edit an item on your list, Deadformat adds in several spaces in front of the entry. To fix it, just go to the end of the first set of items in alphabetical order, and delete the spaces in front of everything after. Let me know if that helps at all; it's kind of hard to explain without using examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can edit any item without it jumping to the top of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and to put albums in chronological order, in theory, you could put the album year before the name of the album, and that should work. It would be kind of pain to do as well as look pretty weird, but if it bothers you that much, you could give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadreckoning Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is a huge improvement already, I haven't updated my tradelist on there for months because it's so annoying to do. What did you dislike about it? Prior to DF, I was using Record Nerd where each individual album had to be loaded in one at a time whereas on DF you can put in as many as you want at one time. I first started cataloging my collection with record nerd. i thought you could upload an excel spreadsheet and select something like "replace list" so it wouldn't keep adding duplicates. That was helpful. I also liked that it separated "for trade/sale" from "not for trade." A tradelist is a bit different from one's full collection. I have tried to do that with my DF list. The one annoying this with record nerd was the lack of any naming convention. Sometimes things were all caps or all lower case or a mix. To do a search you had to type in all the variants you could think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam I don't think there's an easier way around that other than copying and pasting. There's a "move" button when you go to edit a category, but it's never actually done anything at all for me (hopefully something they fix with the update).

adamlikesmusic Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 What all is new? I tried looking at a few recently updated trade lists to see what is different, and they all look exactly the same. I've kept my list locally for a few years now, and wouldn't mind uploading it somewhere, but never really was a fan of the "old" DF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
