Problem in Latex Manual (Andrey)
by Andrea paz 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

Hi, Andrey. In the TOC of the Latex manual the spacing between number and subsection name was set to 3.6em and everything worked fine. See image 4.2em.png Now, all of a sudden, it has become too small and the 6-digit numbers overlap the beginning of the name. See image 3.6em.png I solved it by setting the spacing to 4.2 and it works fine with 6-digit numbers, but I don't like it with 5-digit numbers that come out too far apart. Do you know why this change that caused 3.6em to no longer be valid? Besides, it only happens in the native video plugins section, while in the native audio plugins section it works fine for 6-digit numbers (see image 3.6em-audio.png)!

[PATCH] Titler reset + english formatting tags + question.
by Andrew Randrianasulu 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

I see in titler.C default color mapped to BLACK: TitleConfig::TitleConfig() { strcpy(font, "fixed"); strcpy(encoding, DEFAULT_ENCODING); style = FONT_ALIAS; size = 48; color = BLACK; alpha = 0xff; outline_size = 0.; outline_color = WHITE; outline_alpha = 0xff; Why it set like this? I mean, I used to imagine subtitles start from white .... For now I just copied those settings in my reset function.

[PATCH] Titler patch - adds reset button and de-localizes formatting tag names
by Andrew Randrianasulu 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

In my crashy patch I forgot to add this call: reset_button->create_objects(); Now, it seems to NOT crash :} will try to make one-thing-per-patch patch soon.

*Broken* patch - reset some parameters in Titler (crashes Cin!)
by Andrew Randrianasulu 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

So, I tried to implement resetting of most numerical parameters in Titler gui. Yet, my attempt crashes at Titler window close/Cin exit :( So, DEFINITELY not for merging, but only as my current state of hacking

> There might be typo at very last line ("manual inline.") > Do you mean "online manual" ? Yes, I sent just written without reviewing, you are absolutely right, I have corrected this and some other little things, I am forwarding you the corrected version. It really still needs to be corrected by Phyllis. Do you think a "help" button in the wizard to open this guide is a good idea? This would make the use of this tool very easy for any new user. This button could be at the bottom, next to the close button and its text could be a simple "?" Icon. The files I have written with LibreOffice 6.0.7.3. I notice that Google Docs does not respect layout very well. I will try to do an automatic translation in Russian, and I will send you the result, so it will only be necessary to correct a few small questions.

two more english tips?

Because this part of Cinelerra(GG) also not intuitive for modern users - what about adding two more lines in tips.en? diff --git a/cinelerra-5.1/tips/tips.en b/cinelerra-5.1/tips/tips.en index 781df953..8b2dc4fc 100644 --- a/cinelerra-5.1/tips/tips.en +++ b/cinelerra-5.1/tips/tips.en @@ -26,6 +26,12 @@ Use the +/- keys in the Compositor window to zoom in and out.

Sorry if you already saw this, i was re-reading some older Cinelerra documentation and mail list ... And found THIS: https://lists.skolelinux.org/pipermail/cinelerra/2008-March/013607.html YT video still around ….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruJVAiUYf7g and patch too :} http://www.jockusch.de/dm2/ I haven't tried to forwardport this to CinGG but anyway I like this concept ......

[PATCH] There is git-rebased xml check patch for batchrender ...
by Andrew Randrianasulu 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

Should protect against project (or anyfile) overwrite with just 'cin -r my_super_important_file' Try it out? WITH CAUTION! It still probably will *overwrite* some valid XML files, so do not let 'cin -r' run loose .... Not complie-tested yet ....

My current hack on batchrender I/O points .....
by Andrew Randrianasulu 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

It still doesn't work, resize event missing, and probably I must do i/o points just like labels - per job? Also, interested parties can change BatchRenderJob::get_strategy for returning RANGE_PROJECT and not RANGE_SELECTION ... Not sure if we should make this GUI-configurable .....

Batchrender update diff

Generated by diff -u -w -B /home/guest/botva/src/cinelerra-git/cin-5/new-git/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1/cinelerra/batchrender.C batchrender.C > /home/guest/botva/src/cinelerra-git/cin-5/batchrender_post_merge_raw_fix.diff (a lot of options because I wanted patch without empty lines added) and hand-editing header. probably should be applied from within cinelerra-5.1/cinelerra folder. should fix clonsole rendering and also fix -r file.xml overwriting in case it was not batchrender.xml AND should also NOT abort on GUI loading of same project file as batchrender job file .... (my previous patch introduced new crash because I used exit(1) even when GUI was running ..)
