00:02 Brooke gday bob
00:07 drojf joined #koha
00:07 drojf well, that was fun
00:08 looks likemimdo notmhave a notebook anymore
00:08 Brooke hmm?
00:09 drojf hi brooke
00:09 Brooke hey there
00:09 wizzyrea whaddup brooke
00:10 drojf i have apparently destroyed my notebook
00:10 Brooke editing teh wikipedia
00:12 drojf i bet handing in a pen and paper thesis will work just fine ;)
00:12 Brooke ooof!
00:12 how destroyed is destroyed
00:14 drojf not sure yet. something involving liquid and no reaction at all. it does not look really bad on the inside but i did not take it apart completely
00:14 eythian I assume that all your thesis is in version control anyway, so you should be able to pick it up on any machine, right?
00:15 drojf that is not the problem, but there is no othrr machine
00:16 well, i can (and probably will) type on a raspi for a few days
00:16 but if the notebook is actually broken i will still have a problem
00:20 so, prepare yourselves for a kickstarter or something for signing off on your patches unless something better comes up :/
00:25 Brooke I have thought that kickstarter or mechanical turk would be excellent means for bug testing for years now.

00:40 dcook morning #koha
00:40 stunt driving school, wizzyrea? Sounds awesome!
00:40 Brooke morning dcook
00:40 dcook hey ya Brooke :)
00:40 wizzyrea >.>
00:40 Brooke pfft, who needs school when one has Maryland just the other side of teh River?
00:42 dcook Lack of fiery death?
00:42 * Brooke thinks dcook is no fun.
00:42 dcook hehe
00:43 I'm a responsible driver!
00:44 Brooke tell it to the judge, lady ;)
00:44 dcook Who never ever "stunted" on ice patches in the prairies growing up >.>
00:44 Brooke heheh
00:44 * dcook is a lady?
00:44 Brooke are you questioning mah authoritay?
00:44 * Brooke busts out the tazer.
00:46 is teasing.
00:48 Brooke ChurChur EQNZ anniversary
00:48 * Brooke imagines a days without True marmite clock someplace...
00:49 * dcook is so confused
01:43 * jcamins wipes brownie batter off his elbow.
01:43 jcamins I'm not sure how it got there.
01:43 * dcook once knew someone who got mustard on the back of his shirt between his shoulder blades
01:44 dcook We assume he held his sandwich above and slightly behind his head while laughing and the mustard must've fallen then
01:44 We hope
01:44 jcamins lol
01:45 wizzyrea hey there's marmite again now :P
01:45 jcamins Seriously?
01:46 * jcamins has been using PrivacyFix.
01:46 jcamins For, you know, checking the privacy of websites.
01:46 It was purchased by AVG.
01:46 And now it "requires access to your Facebook account in order to sync your data across devices and across apps and uses tracking cookies."
01:48 * jcamins removes it.
01:51 eythian that seems contradictory of it.
01:52 dcook :(
01:52 jcamins eythian: agreed.
02:42 * wizzyrea almost spit water.
02:43 * dcook wonders if this is in response to an earlier comment or just a statement of fact.
02:44 * jcamins curses java.
02:45 mtompset because of garbage collection? ;)
02:45 jcamins No.
02:47 wizzyrea it was a response to privacyFix using tracking cookies.
02:47 edveal joined #koha
03:00 * dcook ponders gmcharlt's review of The Alchemist
03:02 dcook wizzyrea: Yeah, I figured that would be why, but given the time lapse, I figured I'd make sure :p
03:42 eythian http://i.imgur.com/ZlUhNzp.jpg
03:45 jcamins dcook: it never happened.
03:46 Or, at least, not in 3.x.
03:46 dcook So the manual is wrong?
03:46 jcamins Must be, because I have never known that to work.
03:47 * dcook was going to say"I'm not insane?" but didn't want to get carried away
03:48 jcamins lol
03:48 No, you probably still are.
03:48 dcook hehe
03:50 jcamins Why do I bother with VMs that have <1G/RAM?
03:50 dcook That is a very good question
03:50 jcamins Gosh, that review certainly is mini.
03:51 dcook I've enjoyed the book as entertainment and the fact that it's a quick read has always been its selling point
03:51 But in terms of literature...I think he's on the money
03:54 " Oops. Don't click mandatory on subfields for tags you've never heard of."
03:54 Random quote of the dashboard. Hehe.
03:55 cait joined #koha
03:57 cait hi #koha
04:01 dcook hey ya cait
04:02 cait hi dcook
04:02 :)
04:03 dcook My body must've known that you were coming. I just grabbed my lunch ;)
04:03 cait lol
04:03 but i am early
04:03 wizzyrea good morning cait
04:03 cait and i have to leave in a bit more than 30 mins
04:04 :(
04:04 wizzyrea ew
04:04 eythian that's silly
04:06 dcook :(
04:09 cait the things we do ...
04:09 eythian I don't
04:10 dcook Yeah, I sleep in
04:10 Sleep is good
04:20 Hmm. What to improve...DC to MARC it is...
04:23 mtompset I thought you were going to improve sleep, like I am now. ;)
04:23 Have a great day, #koha. :)
04:36 dcook Yes, Dspace...publish unqualified dublincore xml...because that's so helpful...
04:36 * dcook grumbles
04:36 dcook <dc:date>2005-06-19T21:07:46Z</dc:date>
04:36 <dc:date>2005-06-19T21:07:46Z</dc:date>
04:36 <dc:date>2001</dc:date>
04:36 What kind of date is each? Who knows?
04:37 Hypothetically, we can guess the last one is the issue or publication date because it doesn't thave the seconds attached...
04:37 But that is an assumption...
04:39 Mmm, perhaps not an issue with Dspace so much as OAI_DC
04:39 bleargh
04:43 cait left #koha
04:51 cait-m joined #koha
05:08 asdfasdf joined #koha
05:11 Irma1 joined #koha
05:20 dcook Sweeeet
05:20 Dspace 3 can export QDC (qualified dublin core)
05:20 That helps
05:21 Although I suppose a DC record could still have 2 publishers and 1 date...
05:21 * dcook re-checks the MARC spec
05:22 dcook Mmm, the 260 was made repeatable in 2001 to account for publisher changes over time...
05:22 So generally speaking all of your different publishers and dates would go into your 260...or your 264
05:23 DC has "Created" and "Issued" qualifiers for Date which don't really distinguish between manufacturer, distributer, or publisher..
05:23 Issued would technically be date of publication, I suppose
05:26 O_o
05:26 Mmm
05:27 * dcook thinks jcamins was right before...dcook probably IS insan
05:27 dcook insane even
05:38 drojf joined #koha
05:39 drojf good morning #koha
05:39 dcook morning drojf :)
05:40 cait joined #koha
05:40 * dcook ponders whether to make a better MARC export for Dspace or to continue working on the DC=>MARC XSLT in Koha...
05:40 * cait waves
05:40 drojf thinkpad++
05:40 cait drojf:  it recovered?
05:41 drojf looks like it. i'm using it right now
05:41 that was not funny at all :/
05:41 cait yay thinkpad++
05:42 i can imagine
05:42 drojf the keyboard could use another shower, feels weird
05:44 might not be 100% dry from the last one ;)
05:45 cait it will be fine :)
05:50 @wunder lippstadt
05:50 huginn` cait: The current temperature in Geseke, Germany is 12.8°C (7:42 AM CEST on September 04, 2013). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 98%. Dew Point: 12.0°C. Pressure: 30.27 in 1025 hPa (Falling).
05:50 cait hm brr?
05:50 wahanui brr is right
05:53 eythian @wunder nzwn
05:53 huginn` eythian: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 9.0°C (5:00 PM NZST on September 04, 2013). Conditions: Mostly Cloudy. Humidity: 87%. Dew Point: 7.0°C. Pressure: 29.80 in 1009 hPa (Steady).
05:53 eythian supposed to get worse, too.
05:53 cait evening eythian
05:53 eythian hi
05:53 cait how's things?
05:54 eythian not too bad
05:54 it's cold outside though, and probably windy.
05:55 cait sounds about right
05:56 dcook The MARC 653 field is so weird....http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd653.html
05:56 drojf why?
05:57 dcook Instead of having multiple 653 fields, you can just put all of your subject terms in one as separate "a" subfields
05:57 cait yep why? :)
05:57 dcook Which seems contrary to the other 65x fields..
05:57 Or rather 6xx fields
05:57 cait hm
05:57 we do multiple 653
05:57 drojf it says repeatable
05:57 so where is the problem?
05:57 cait i think you can do either
05:58 drojf we have multiple ones too
05:58 cait the examples look like that too
05:58 dcook Yeah, I think you can do either
05:58 drojf i used it for… i forgot. something special to our library :)
05:58 dcook But it's an option to group together primary and secondary index terms by just repeating subfields
05:59 cait ah seem slike therer are indicators involved
06:00 dcook Yeah, the first indicator denotes whether it's primary, secondary, or unknown/not provided info
06:00 drojf there is even a great bug 9972 to index it ;) *spam*
06:00 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9972 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, mirko, Needs Signoff , Add/ change some zebra indexes (MARC21) (GRS1+DOM)

06:04 dcook Hmm
06:04 I think I have some friends in Berlin at the moment
06:04 * dcook is probably making that up
06:04 dcook They might actually be in Amsterdam
06:04 Australians abroad. Partying like crazy, no doubt.
06:04 drojf everybody is in amsterdam atm. seems like it
06:04 dcook Yeah?
06:05 drojf heh. i met a group of australians at a swedish hostel once. crazy people :D
06:05 i think they had beer for breakfast
06:05 dcook lol
06:05 My wife said that in Australia you're allowed to drink alcohol any time of the day
06:05 * dcook thinks she was having some red wine around 11am that day
06:06 drojf sounds like a good rule
06:06 :P
06:06 dcook To be fair, it was the weekend
06:06 I like that rule :D
06:06 * dcook says drinking from his water bottle
06:09 drojf i should either start the caffeine thing or go back to bed for an hour, now that i know i still have a notebook
06:11 dcook caffeine!

13:27 mtompset joined #koha
13:27 druthb Hi, mtompset! :)
13:28 mtompset Greetings, druthb. Your greetings have been rather automated lately. Are you human? :P
13:28 Greetings, #koha.
13:29 druthb perhaps.
13:29 mtompset Okay, I have a patch that I like, but I looked at one file, and realized it was a pointless refactor. How do I get the origin/master version of the file back?
13:29 * SkittlesBot chucks Skittles at mtompset.
13:30 mtompset And now you are going to claim it wasn't you, druthb? :P
13:30 * druthb stands mute, and a plea of "not guilty" was entered by the Court.
13:31 mtompset druthb?
13:31 wahanui Well, she finally snapped, like we all knew she would.
13:32 druthb :P
13:33 tcohen git checkout origin/master file
13:35 hi mtompset
13:35 mtompset I had just figured that out. Greetings, tcohen.

14:23 jcamins In other news, physicists try to determine whether universe is a simulation.
14:24 (really!)
14:24 gerundio joined #koha
14:27 tcohen that sounds weird
14:27 because a simulation would be a model of what we belive things are
14:28 jcamins tcohen: or a model of what *other people* believe things are.

14:33 drojf jcamins: what are they doing to find out? trying to contact the person whose smartphone app we are part of?
14:33 tcohen they want to prove the definition of simulation is sound
14:33 :-P
14:34 drojf i like to think of earth as a part of some old, rotting fruit and our goal is to convert it to dust. we are pretty good at that
14:35 jcamins drojf: they're looking for a non-continuous maximum power for cosmic waves, or something like that.
14:36 druthb US Politics is part of a simulation being set up by the future for their entertainment.  A future Monty Python's Flying Circus.
14:41 mtompset Yes, but if there an infinitely set of nested simulations, at what point does the host environment fail?
14:41 there are...
14:42 druthb++ # good joke. :)
14:43 druthb joke?
14:43 * druthb reviews the log looking for her last joke.
14:44 jcamins mtompset: it doesn't, because if the host environment fails, the simulations being run never existed.
14:44 drojf i loved monty python's flying circus for the great range of british accents they used. i miss that in us politics ;)
14:45 druthb They missed one important and useful part of the Circus in the US Politics simulation, though—we need Silly Walks.
14:45 drojf heh
14:45 * druthb pictures jcamins silly-walking, and giggles.
14:46 mtompset Oh stop it, druthb. :P
14:46 jcamins for prez! ;)
14:46 druthb jcamins would make a great benevolent dictator.
14:47 mtompset -- leader.
14:47 druthb he's *already* a great leader.  He'd make a great benevolent dictator.
14:48 * druthb is seeking an appointment as Jestress to the Royal Court.
14:50 mtompset jcamins: Would you be a dictator if could be? I don't see him as a dictatorial type, benevolent or otherwise. I do see a passionate leader who works for the best, something like the president of the US needs to do. ;)
14:51 jcamins mtompset: maybe, maybe not.
14:57 drojf as a leader, you would have to take good care of your position 05
14:57 jcamins lol
14:59 mtompset position 05? Is that a MARC joke?
15:00 drojf yes. i made a MARC joke. what have i become…
15:00 jcamins drojf: my laugh was rueful.
15:01 drojf lol
15:03 druthb drojf: welcome to the Dark Side.  jcamins makes the cookies.

15:22 mtompset http://youtu.be/wVnQxmwUvgI (Muppet Thor wants Library Books)
15:22 chris_n can anyone confirm that koha fails to properly process a hold on items with a hold which are checked *in* via the self-checkout mode?
15:23 * chris_n smells a bug
15:24 cait tehy are not set to waiting
15:24 yes
15:24 that's a feature for our libraries tho :)
15:25 tcohen do we have unit tests fr the reading history stuff?
15:25 cait i think the reason had something to do with slip printing and the hold notices
15:26 chris_n: checkin/checkout notices from self check are problematic too - missing the item information it seems
15:26 chris_n cait: so I'll open a bug for the sco issue
15:27 cait chris_n: i think it's by design, just maybe needs a pref, if the 'not waiting' part is what bothers you
15:27 but i am not sur if that is your problem
15:28 * cait should be quiet
15:28 chris_n yes, we do not print notices; we have koha send them via email, so they should fill automatically in our case
15:28 so maybe what you suggest is the fix :)
15:28 I'll have a look
15:28 cait hm not sure, but we might be talking around each other :)
15:28 chris_n its about time I did something Koha related anyway
15:28 cait for holds maybe ake a look at bug 9138
15:28 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9138 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, RESOLVED FIXED, SIP2 failing to mark reserves waiting, and sending blank emails
15:29 cait bug 3638
15:29 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3638 normal, P2, ---, colin.campbell, RESOLVED FIXED, Status of hold not changed when item checked in via SIP2 Interface
15:29 cait the thing with the email checkout slips i haven't reported yet, but i have a ticket form one of our libraries - totally unrelated to holds :)
15:29 chris_n well, the worst part is that if a patron checks in via sco, no one is notified that the item with a hold on it has been returned, so no one can complete the process
15:29 cait it will show up in your holds to pick report
15:29 holds to pull? holds queue?
15:29 both i think
15:30 * chris_n senses that this may be a librarian training issue rather than a bug
15:30 cait and we have a report that the library uses, so they can print the reserve slips on the circulation desk
15:30 chris_n and I'd rather work on a bug any day :P
15:30 I'll take a look at that report
15:32 I see it
15:33 however, I think what they are looking for is something like: check-in via sco > automatically fill highest priority hold
15:34 so I'm not sure if that is possible currently
15:36 cait how will the user know where the item is?
15:36 and how will it get to the pickup location
15:36 ?
15:36 the hold will be filled as soon as you check it in again - at least that's all how it is in 3.6
15:36 we have one library that does self checkin with sip
15:37 oh - are we talking sip or web based sco?
15:37 i might be too confused today :)
15:40 chris_n cait: the patron who set the hold receives an email stating the hold is available and at location X
15:40 that part works great
15:40 ie: if the item is checked in at the circ desk, the librarian fills the hold and the patron receives an email
15:41 but all bets are off if the item is checked in via sco
15:41 mtompset Lunch time. Bye, #koha.
15:42 cait chris_n: are you using the web based or a sip2 based self check?
15:42 chris_n web based
15:42 cait ah ok
15:42 i misunderstood then
15:42 chris_n yeah
15:42 cait i don't work with that
15:42 chris_n web based sco has some issues :)
15:42 * chris_n does not think many people use it
15:43 chris_n there should probably be a common self-check backend
15:43 into which one could plug any sort of front
15:43 * cait hands chris_n a cookie as apology for being confusing
15:44 chris_n accepted, but really you were not too confusing
15:44 it made me think the problem through differently
15:44 and I now know about hold reports
15:45 cait :)
15:45 * chris_n hands cait a mint chocolate brownie for being helpful
15:45 cait yay!

16:48 Hey, I need a reminder about some basic Perl.
16:49 If I want to mock the routine used by new Object(), what routine do I mock?
16:49 Object::new, or do I need to do something more subtle?

16:52 tcohen you mock the routine
16:53 i'm doing $auth->mock('checkauth', \&MockedCheckauth);
16:53 for use in get_template_and_user
16:53 jcamins tcohen: sorry, I meant, literally, I want to mock "new Object()"
16:53 I'm going to try mocking Object->new.
16:54 If that doesn't work I'll go digging.
16:54 tcohen You could use Test::MockObject instead

17:53 mtompset joined #koha
17:53 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
17:54 jcamins: I was curious about how the facet problem (mis-counts and showing things that should be hidden) is being addressed in the search re-write. Any information on that?
17:54 jcamins mtompset: it's not being addressed at all at this time.
17:55 If and when it is addressed, it will be by using a real faceter and not some hacked up thing in C4::Search.
17:56 mtompset So, a solr search setup will have the same facet'ing problem that zebra does, because the facets are "hacked up" in C4::Search?
17:56 jcamins No, because the current Solr code doesn't support anything that uses C4::Search.
17:58 mtompset okay, perhaps I am misunderstanding something. Are the search re-write and the solr code different but overlapping?
17:58 jcamins So I suppose it's possible you would consider the faceting worse.
17:58 Yes.
17:59 Unrelated.
17:59 gmcharlt: I have a question for you about database-dependent versus non-database-dependent unit tests.
17:59 I'm adding a db-dependent test for C4::Matcher.
17:59 There is already a t/Matcher.t.
18:00 I was adding it as a different file: t/db_dependent/Matcher_auth.t. Does that make sense?
18:00 gmcharlt jcamins: yes
18:00 jcamins Thanks.
18:01 It irks me to make it db-dependent since it doesn't actually require a database, just C4::Context, but discretion being the better part of valor, db-dependent is where it's going.
18:02 gmcharlt yeah, there's been various approaches for mocking bits of C4::Context -- would be worth it document and consolidate
18:06 jcamins gmcharlt: okay, another question about unit tests: I wrote a unit test in order to prove some changes (6 lines) to C4::Matcher correct. My inclination is to break it into two patches, unit test first. Is that over-thinking it?
18:07 gmcharlt jcamins: separate patches match my preference
18:07 it's like telling a story -- tests for new functionality (or regressions), then main patch, then a happy ending of tests passing
18:08 jcamins In this case, the unit test actually passes both before and after the patch.
18:08 It's a missing follow-up to QueryParser, which makes C4::Matcher use SimpleSearch for auths.

19:28 mtompset jcamins: Thanks for the comment. I know there is no updated test plan, because I didn't notice an original one.
19:29 jcamins mtompset: A) there needs to be a test plan, and B) you definitely have to address why upload.pl is now dependent on Koha's plugin system, which is entirely unrelated to the cataloging plugins generally.
19:29 If it is not dependent on the plugin system, you should note that fact.
19:30 mtompset You mean I should set it to no enable_plugins? I thought I had to get it to work.
19:30 I suppose I should test that. :)
19:30 jcamins I mean that shouldn't be required because the two systems should be unconnected.
19:30 If there is any connection, you need to explain what it is.
19:31 mtompset Okay... I'll do that later tonight, I finally scrolled back and found the old test plan in comment number 3.
19:31 did you try to apply the patch?
19:32 Or are you waiting on the test plan?
19:32 jcamins I didn't look at it because it mentioned the plugins and didn't have an updated test plan.
19:33 mtompset okay.
19:34 I was just curious if I had messed up the patch and it didn't apply either. :)
19:34 jcamins I would've marked it Patch doesn't apply if it didn't apply.

23:24 dcook joined #koha
23:29 pianohacker Hey #koha, I have a UI question for you. The new cataloging editor uses pazpar2 to do its z3950 search, which is awesome and easy, but comes with one downside
23:29 The results are loaded several times, as pazpar2 gets more results and re-sorts them
23:30 would you personally prefer to just wait until everything is loaded, or have some approach where, say, if your cursor was above the results, they wouldn't reload until you moved back off?
23:30 dcook I'm not sure I follow, pianohacker
23:31 papa joined #koha
23:31 jcamins Depends on the latency, but probably I'd prefer it to load fast and frequently.
23:31 eythian make it grey and not interactible with until loading has completed? That way you can see progress, but it doesn't mess up by jumping around underneath you.
23:31 dcook Do you mean something along the lines of "Load X results" then if the scroll down or put your cursor lower down then "Load X + Y results"?
23:31 tcohen joined #koha
23:31 jcamins Yeah, eythian's suggestion makes sense.
23:32 pianohacker jcamins: That's definitely nice; the problem is that if you're busy looking at or interacting with results, then they reload, it's a bit jarring
23:32 eythian: Hmm, that seems pretty reasonable
23:32 jcamins pianohacker: right, that's why you have to make the reload not jarring.
23:33 dcook Although people are probably fairly use to jarring from FB and other sites
23:33 tcohen jarring?
23:33 jcamins dcook: from Facebook?
23:33 pianohacker Sudden and disorienting
23:33 Some kind of crossfade, maybe?
23:34 eythian dcook: that is never an excuse :)
23:34 tcohen wahanui: what's the context?
23:34 wahanui no idea, tcohen
23:34 dcook jcamins: Yeah, some of the screens load a certain number of results and then only load more once you scroll to the bottom, which sometimes causes that jarring effect
23:34 jcamins dcook: I think that's different, because you are doing something to trigger the reloda.
23:35 *reload
23:35 dcook eythian: You might have a point there, but when it comes to UI design, I don't think we even ask normal users
23:35 eythian dcook: they're resorting though, so it's different.
23:35 dcook Mmm, right resorting.
23:35 I suppose I don't really understand what the UI is supposed to look like in any case.
23:35 pianohacker hrm... screenshot time
23:35 dcook :D
23:36 * dcook is a fan of screenshots
23:36 tcohen are you talking about Koha's UI?
23:36 eythian wahanui: irc logs
23:36 wahanui irc logs are http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
23:36 eythian tcohen: ^ :)
23:36 tcohen ok ok
23:39 pianohacker http://i.imgur.com/8ewb1Bx.png <-- Search UI for new cataloging interface
23:40 dcook New cataloguing interface or new Z39.50 interface?
23:40 Errr...my question didn't make sense
23:41 * dcook tries to reword
23:41 dcook Are you able to edit the MARC in this interface?
23:41 Actually, feel free to ignore that too. I don't want to get off topic.
23:41 * dcook thinks eythian's original idea is probably best
23:41 eythian it's a search interface
23:41 pianohacker dcook: You would click on open to bring it into the cataloging interface under that popup
23:42 jcamins Yeah, I think you need to show the results ASAP, but not make them interactive.
23:42 dcook mhm
23:43 pianohacker I like this plan :)
23:44 Any thoughts on the search interface in general? Static images are only so helpful, of course, but most of what you can do is on display
23:45 dcook To be honest, I think it would make the most sense to ask cataloguing librarians
23:45 * dcook supposes he used to be a cataloguing librarian
23:46 dcook I might use different labels than "Open" and "Substitute"
23:46 I like the targets on the left though
23:46 tcohen librarians often do trial and error on the cataloguing quality of the retreived records
23:47 dcook Trial and error?
23:47 pianohacker dcook: I was fighting with those, the difference is subtle... One opens the search result as a new record, the other transposes its contents into the current record
23:47 eythian pianohacker: "open as new", "replace current record"
23:48 pianohacker eythian: Clear but verbose
23:48 dcook "New" "Replace" ?
23:48 pianohacker "Open" and "Replace current", maybe?
23:49 dcook To me "open" is basically the same as "view"
23:49 jcamins I don't like "Open."
23:49 I agree with dcook.
23:49 "Open" means "I want to look at this record."
23:49 eythian hmm yeah
23:49 jcamins "Import" is better.
23:49 eythian yes, it is
23:50 dcook Although both options are a type of import
23:50 pianohacker fair enough, makes sense
23:51 dcook Although, I assume "substitute" only comes up when you're using z39.50 within the context of an existing record
23:51 So "Import" probably is the best bet
23:51 pianohacker dcook: yes
23:51 dcook I suppose people would soon figure out that "Import" allows them to edit before saving as well
23:51 Sorry, I'm babbling
23:52 pianohacker There is pervasive undo, so either one isn't the end of the world :)
23:52 dcook Overall, I'm liking this
23:52 * dcook was always a fan of that type of MARC interface
23:53 dcook Very clean
23:53 pianohacker: Are you also working on a new editor screen?
23:54 Or an "advanced editor"?
23:54 pianohacker dcook: Yes indeed, has about the same format as the MARC display from that screenshot, just with fancier fixed field editing
23:55 dcook :D
23:56 pianohacker++
23:56 That is awesome news
23:56 eythian dcook: pianohacker seems to pretty good at this sort of thing. IIRC the sysprefs interface is also his from quite some time ago.
23:56 pianohacker Yup, with some polishing by oleonard
23:56 but thank you eythian :)
23:56 dcook pianohacker++
23:56 ;)
23:57 I think two of my biggest pet peaves in Koha are probably the search and the cataloguing, so super excited for your work there
23:59 pianohacker dcook: Glad to hear! I have nengard as my main advisor, so trust me, it should be much better than the current one
