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

A first look at 2.0 from a work-in-progress perspective at about half-time.
