Fixes for the below have been used to build new static tars for Debian 9/10 and Mint 18 at: https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/cinelerra-5.1-debian9-x86_64-s... https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/cinelerra-5.1-debian10-x86_64-... https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/cinelerra-5.1-mint18-x86_64-st... The fixes have not yet been checked into GIT for others to build. Just a reminder, although tested here as much as possible, there could still be new and old bugs lurking so use caution. Other reminder of demo location: https://streamable.com/3k6wl Just know that the *naming is solved now or for details*, read the list of changes and other things below: 1 - When nesting clips en masse, the timestamp is added followed by the name so that they are unique. The name in the case of an .xml file is without the directory paths. 2 - Truncation of the names should no longer be an issue. 3 - in the Media and Clip folder, there are now "Close EDL" options. This was added because if someone was just trying to figure out what "Open EDL" meant without having read any documentation, they would never guess to click on the # in the upper right corner of the timeline, and would think that they lost there original session. In addition in the case of where you have opened a EDL, and you no longer see that clip in the folder, the right mouse button where no media is highlighted will also display the Close EDL option. 4 - If you have nested an .xml file in the Clip folder so that now it is in the Media folder, when you unnest it via "EDL to Clip", it will now have a name of the next available Clip # but the comment contains the previous name so you can tell where it came from. 5 - If naming is confusing to you, you can easily change the name for these clips in either the Clip or Media folder because they are not real files at this point. To do so, highlight the clip name in Resources, click on Info and type in new name. 6 - Because it may be confusing and usually unnecessary, a previously unmentioned addition in all of this is "backup" updates. Automatically Cinelerra saves a backup when certain changes are made or you can always use the shortcut "b" to do one yourself, although keep in mind it will be overwritten whenever Cinelerra wants to do another backup. Now there is a shortcut for the shortcut "b" -- your fingers never have to even leave the mouse -- just click on the #. If # is at 0, it backs up to backup.xml, if at 1, it backs up to backup1.xml and so on ... up to backup9.xml. On Wed, Dec 25, 2019 at 8:34 PM Phyllis Smith <[email protected]> wrote:
A GIT checkin was done about an hour ago to address some of the issues and some clean up. It works OK on fast computers but when GG created a Debian 9 build that was done on a slower computer there was a problem that he has to fix tomorrow. Workaround if testing Edit Edl-s "Nest to Media" is to not be using Vicons in the Resources window -- just use the text option instead.
Bugs fixed will be described tomorrow when slower computer Vicons are working.
One bug I've found: if the path to the imported EDL is long, it gets truncated. It would be nice to have th option of giving our own names to the nested EDLs, or if they would assume the name of the origin file (maybe they already do, but it's being truncated in my case).
