*Broken* patch - reset some parameters in Titler (crashes Cin!)
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
Always fun to Hack! I am so far behind in keeping up with you and RafaMar and Andrea working on the manual so I have not had a chance to test any of your latest modifications. And as the "official moderator" I want to be very careful about checking anything into GIT without lots of verification.

Please don't worry Phyllis, everyone does what their time allows. And I think it's very good that you are cautious about including code in Git. Andrew, I can think of a simple solution, but I don't know if this is possible, I don't know if it is possible to change information about the application loaded in memory. Can the reset button load the following parameters into the open project memory and load these settings into the title wizard? The default settings are these: <TITLE FONT="" ENCODING="" STYLE=8 SIZE=48 COLOR=0 ALPHA=255 OUTLINE_SIZE=0 OUTLINE_COLOR=16777215 OUTLINE_ALPHA=255 COLOR_STROKE=16711680 STROKE_WIDTH=0 MOTION_STRATEGY=0 LOOP=0 LINE_PITCH=0 PIXELS_PER_SECOND=100 HJUSTIFICATION=1 VJUSTIFICATION=1 FADE_IN=0 FADE_OUT=0 TITLE_X=0 TITLE_Y=0 TITLE_W=0 TITLE_H=0 DROPSHADOW=0 TIMECODE=0 TIMECODEFORMAT=0 WINDOW_W=958 WINDOW_H=460 BACKGROUND=0 BACKGROUND_PATH="" LOOP_PLAYBACK=0> </TITLE> The button "Reset" which would open a warning window with a message: "The default settings will be restored, all current content and settings will be lost. The wizard will close, you must open it again" And if the user clicks OK, the information that he has read when loading effect will be replaced in memory, which comes from the cinelerra cache of the titler.xml file inside .bcast5 with the one that is opened by default the first time, now when it returns To open the wizard, it will be with all its parameters reset and without content. I don't know if this is possible, or is it silly on the part of a person who knows nothing about programming. Another solution could be that the button opens the "Preset Edit" window and in this there is a button that indicates. "Load defaults" that does this, if we accept, the content in the title window will is blank whit all parameters reset. [image: imagen.png] This solution seems simpler and does not have to give errors, it is like having a preset with the default values that cannot be deleted or manipulated.

Andrew, I can think of a simple solution, but I don't know if this is possible, I don't know if it is possible to change information about the application loaded in memory. Can the reset button load the following parameters into the open project memory and load these settings into the title wizard? The default settings are these:
<TITLE FONT="" ENCODING="" STYLE=8 SIZE=48 COLOR=0 ALPHA=255 OUTLINE_SIZE=0 OUTLINE_COLOR=16777215 OUTLINE_ALPHA=255 COLOR_STROKE=16711680 STROKE_WIDTH=0 MOTION_STRATEGY=0 LOOP=0 LINE_PITCH=0 PIXELS_PER_SECOND=100 HJUSTIFICATION=1 VJUSTIFICATION=1 FADE_IN=0 FADE_OUT=0 TITLE_X=0 TITLE_Y=0 TITLE_W=0 TITLE_H=0 DROPSHADOW=0 TIMECODE=0 TIMECODEFORMAT=0 WINDOW_W=958 WINDOW_H=460 BACKGROUND=0 BACKGROUND_PATH="" LOOP_PLAYBACK=0> </TITLE>
The button "Reset" which would open a warning window with a message: "The default settings will be restored, all current content and settings will be lost. The wizard will close, you must open it again"
I take simpler route w/o warning for now ..... There are functions for reloading internal state and updating GUI ... so, this part apparently work. But I have some memory corruption/abort at window close :/ My bad, because I simply copied pieces of code around ...
And if the user clicks OK, the information that he has read when loading effect will be replaced in memory, which comes from the cinelerra cache of the titler.xml file inside .bcast5 with the one that is opened by default the first time, now when it returns To open the wizard, it will be with all its parameters reset and without content.

This seems to be implemented ...somewhere else (in plugin infrastructure? in keyframe architecture?) sorry, I'm not THAT good at understanding CinGG code ..or any code ....
