First look at Faircamp 2.0
00:00 / 05:31
hi to a first look at faircamp 2.0
00:00
for this video I don't really have any specific message so
00:03
i'm going to spend around five minutes
00:06
and show you just whatever fits into
00:08
this timeframe and let's begin
00:10
so basically
00:13
we can now already start faircamp from
00:14
the desktop environment ah it brings up
00:17
a launcher
00:19
which is mostly mocked up but this
00:20
button here does what it says namely
00:21
you can open your site and in
00:23
the editor you have two main areas
00:26
one of which is the main area
00:28
where you can edit all the settings,
00:31
all the content for your site and then
00:33
you also have a navigation area where
00:35
you can basically see the contents of
00:37
your site directory in different ways namely
00:40
there is for one a flat view
00:43
which you're seeing right here this basically
00:44
folds out all the relevant items on
00:46
your site which is the site itself
00:49
the releases, the tracks and your artists for
00:50
instance and presents them without all the
00:54
nesting and then there's also the treeview
00:57
which is basically
00:59
like in your file explorer
01:00
where you can see the full folder hierarchy of
01:01
your site directory the next thing i
01:04
want to show you is that there
01:06
is a very smooth and direct link
01:08
between editing as we did before on
01:10
the file system directly through the file
01:13
manager through the text editor and editing
01:15
here in the graphical editor
01:18
so for instance um if i edit
01:20
the title of the site to be
01:23
custom title and i save that you can
01:25
see that right away of course it
01:27
creates here the manifest which contains this
01:29
custom title i'm just going to put
01:32
this side by side and the other
01:34
way around if we change this in
01:36
here so if i call this
01:39
changed title now and save you can
01:40
see that immediately it picks up the change
01:42
and um replaces the value here also in the
01:45
form field so you see that there's
01:47
a very direct link in how you can sort
01:50
of work here and work there at
01:53
the same time and ah what's more
01:54
i put a lot of work into
01:56
making this a very robust
01:58
experience and also having faircamp be
02:00
aware of the way you edit your
02:02
files on disk so for instance if
02:04
on the ah editor side i check
02:06
a few more options they of course
02:10
will show up here but if on
02:12
the text editor side i make some changes
02:14
like for instance i add a comment
02:16
ah "don't edit this please" for instance
02:18
and i have some specific organizational
02:21
preference of how my options are laid
02:26
out so right now i moved these
02:29
boolean values up here and if i
02:31
save that um nothing changes of course
02:33
because it's the same options but if
02:34
against my own instruction i change the
02:37
title again so let's
02:39
put that back to "custom title" what
02:41
you see is that it basically changes that
02:43
exactly in the spot it was and
02:45
it does not mess the ordering up
02:47
at all so it leaves even the
02:49
extra spaces that you have so if
02:51
you have like you want to have
02:52
extra space here then um sort of
02:54
making any changes it still retains that
02:56
for you okay so this was one
02:59
more important part that i want to show
03:01
them moving on we have a new
03:02
default system in ah faircamp
03:05
2.0 which means for instance that
03:08
on the site level where we are
03:10
right at right now um we have
03:12
additional tabs which are called artist defaults
03:15
catalog defaults, multitrack defaults, and track defaults
03:18
and there we can basically
03:20
define in this case side-wide defaults
03:22
so for instance we can say for
03:24
all tracks on this site we want
03:25
to specify let's say a download code
03:28
and that should be for instance um
03:30
let's say access and if we save that
03:33
and then um go to any track
03:37
on the site like this one for instance
03:40
we can see that, um where is it,
03:42
here in the download codes field we now
03:45
have a download code specified that's called
03:48
access and that comes from the site
03:50
as we see here and we can also
03:52
also click that to get to the
03:53
settings of that if we want
03:55
we can overwrite that on the track level
03:57
so for this individual track but
04:00
what we can also do is for instance
04:01
go to the release here to the album
04:03
and um again move to the track defaults
04:05
and here we find again the download codes
04:10
as set on the site and we can
04:12
override that and can say "changed access"
04:13
for instance here and if we save
04:17
that and then again open any track
04:18
on this release you can now see
04:21
that indeed the download code for
04:23
this track and all other tracks in this
04:26
album is now
04:29
"changed access" okay one more thing i
04:30
want to show you in the last
04:33
forty seconds or so is that this
04:34
smooth link between editing on disk and
04:37
editing in the editor also goes for the
04:40
entire structure so for instance we can create
04:42
a folder that's called albums and put all
04:45
the albums in there and
04:48
we can create a file that's called
04:50
artists and for instance create the artist
04:53
Alice in here and also add an
04:56
artist manifest so it's recognized as an
05:00
artist and you can see that here
05:02
this folder structure is now reflected in
05:04
the tree view and also in the flat view
05:06
you can now see that we now have
05:07
the artist alice here
05:09
you can edit this and again we
05:10
can make changes here like "alice edited"
05:12
save that and again you can see
05:16
here the update there's some content here
05:17
and we find that this has been
05:20
added okay and that was about five
05:21
minutes thank you so much for watching
05:24
there will be mehr ... more content very
05:26
soon so stay tuned and see you soon
05:27
