Feature request: it would be useful indicate in merging view recordings with fingerprint attached and having other relations linked.

Hello @trumpeta, Could you please detail what you mean? On merge page? In edit history? Which relations?

Hello, I'm thinking about showing linked relations and linked acoustid fingerprints right in releases merge view. It would prevent overwriting tracks with fingerprints by tracks without fingerprint for example (showing other relations would be useful for merge target decision too).

it's quite difficult to display more informations in the already crowded release page...

BTW don't worry, AcoustID are also merge and we are supposed to find them all in the merge recording. Sometimes it takes time before they are processed but in the end they are all there...

The only things you lose are merged recording title, artist and comment. I think these are displayed by the script, already.

And mass merge, IMO, is mostly made to merge identical tracklists' recordings from various editions of same album.
