Hi everyone,
thank you for testing the Qt6 AppImage of October 1 and for writing down what went wrong. Here is what became of each report. The fixes are in the new alpha AppImage of October 10.
The first seven have a scripted test in the repository. I ran these tests on the published AppImage of October 10, and all of them pass. The last point is checked by starting the AppImage in a Fedora 44 container.
| What you reported | What it was | Now |
|---|---|---|
| View → Fade does not switch the fade line off. | The setting changed, but the timeline was not redrawn. The same held for the other automation entries of the View menu. | The timeline redraws at once. |
| The mask tool does not work properly: the picture in the Compositor stays unmasked. | New projects use RGBA. In RGBA the stopped frame showed neither masks nor fades, the rendered file was right. The stable AppImage of February behaves the same way. | The Compositor shows masks and fades of RGBA projects. |
| The mask tool opens two windows. | The old tool window opened next to the new Qt6 panel. | Only the Qt6 panel opens, and the toolbar follows the tool. |
| Making a PNG clip longer freezes the program. | No freeze: the trim preview stayed in the Compositor after the trim and covered the picture. | A click in the Compositor, moving the playhead or starting playback ends the preview. |
| In cut-and-paste mode, dragging on the time ruler does not scrub. | The Qt6 ruler selected a range there instead. | It scrubs in both editing modes, as the stable version does. |
| Dragging with the I-beam on a track moves clips. | A wrong mouse position check, found while testing the point above. | Fixed. |
| Plugin windows in the Inspector: the sliders of Color 3 Way do nothing, a click on the Histogram curve lands in the wrong place. | A docked plugin window kept its old top-level window, so mouse positions were off. | Both work. |
| Fontconfig warnings in the terminal at start. | The AppImage carried its own older fontconfig. | It uses the one of your system. My check in a Fedora 44 container shows no warning. |
Please tell me if one of the fixed points still happens for you, or if I misunderstood a report. The bug tracker at https://bug.cinelerra-gg.org has a new category Qt6 Alpha for this. What you clicked, what you expected and what happened is all I need, a screenshot helps.
This is an alpha, please do not use it for real projects. It
shares the settings folder ~/.bcast5 with the stable
version, so copy that folder before the first start.

Sorry, my fault above. Of course Cinelerra needs to be loaded before verification with ~> xlsclients localhost.localdomain ibus-x11 localhost.localdomain cin localhost.localdomain mutter-x11-frames That is checking active clients via xlsclients confirms that cin is currently running under the XWayland compatibility layer by default on a Wayland GNOME session. It looks like this is standard behavior for Qt apps on Linux, unless the program or environment variables explicitly ask for the Wayland platform (QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland).
