An idea about the GUI could be the option to make the edges of the various windows magnetic and variable. Changing the size of a border automatically changes the size of the neighboring windows as well. That's how Premiere Pro works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-u_R_2tkP4 (1:05 - 1:20)
I don't know if that would ever work with the Guicast of Cinelerra. Adobe and also the other NLE's like Kdenlive work with subwindows. These subwindows can be arranged arbitrarily, but also separated from the compound and function as real single windows. Cinelerra has only single windows that cannot be combined in one window. I myself would wish only one icon in the taskbar. One possibility would be to use a framework like Qt5, it is even cross platform capable, that means it runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. With this framework we wouldn't have to worry about such things anymore. But such a port would certainly take three to four, if not five months. In this time no new updates of Cinelerra would come. I could live with that if I didn't get any new updates for the next months. Waiting for this new version would reward the new possibilities by far. It would be cool if Cinelerra would also be available on Windows and Mac and the GUI problem would be solved, it would be the future, or there would be a developer who dares to approach the Guicast and bring it up to date. GG would certainly be happy about such a support. Sam
