Hi Andrea, Sorry for long lasting silence from me, the work and other things needs to be done. I finally finished with Plugins chapter. You done a very good job with it. My repo is updated. Line wrapping is a truncating text line by some amount of characters, historically its 80 characters long. I prefer a semantic line wrap by sentences. But it's up to user to do a line brake or not. Novice LaTeX users prefer not to use linewrap. For a Git usage I prefer use Diff by words. пн, 1 июл. 2019 г., 19:08 Andrea paz <[email protected]>:

Hi Andrey, I wanted to add some entries in the glossary but it's not possible. I write the new entry but then when I create the updated pdf (F5) it does not appear. No errors are reported, simply the new entry is ignored. With the other chapters of the manual, everything is OK. Is that just my problem?
Hi Andrea, It's a default behavior of TeXstudio. Glossary creation is separate process. It can be included in main compilation routine, or may not. In my TeXstudio setup I use separate command for glossary creation. To do so, go to Options-> Configure TeXstudio -> Commands. Change Makeindex command to: makeindex %.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o %.nls Click Ok and go to Tools -> Commands -> Makeindex. Hit F5 to recompile. The Glossary should be updated.

Okay. I thought You wanted the PNGs file for the illustrations. PNG files are good for a raster images like screenshots. But if you create a vector image it's best to export it as vector PDF file.

I take this opportunity to clarify how I insert the images: I use 144 Dpi PNG because, in my opinion, they are the minimum acceptable quality. By minimum quality I mean: being able to easily read the smallest text on the screen. If we make a version for printing we will have to replace all the images. I propose to postpone this work until after the completion of the manual. What do you think? I'm fine with any solution. And, as always, the last word is up to Phyllis.
- I had to force the pdf because they are present in ".gitignore". Did You have done absolutely right to force pdf images. Add following line to .gitignore to allow pdf in images folder.

I propose to postpone this work until I'm think its fine for now. You can add a high dpi version of images in separate folder, for ex. ./imagesHQ/ In settings file we can switch folders used for a manual compilation. There is a many methods in latex to do it almost automatically.

My opinion is that I would like to see the manual completely converted to Latex before re-doing any images. I know I will have to "fix" all of the DVD/Bluray Broadcast TV images anyway. Phyllis
Andrea, I saw the Manual with the new illustrations but the "compositing_pipeline-masks.pdf" is in the wrong place, I think. Take a look at the Cinelerra-CV_manual, please; also for the good images in Masks chapter. Probably You (all) already have it; however I put here the link to the Cinelerra_CV_manual (temporarily), if it can help. http://www.visi1.org/temp/cinelerra_cv_manual_en.pdf Thanks for your work!

About compositing_pipeline_masks you're completely right. I put it in its place (mask section) and apologize (same dropbox link). As for the section on the mask tool, I think it needs to be rewritten to incorporate the latest news. Phyllis, could you get me the odt?

Hi, I have added chapters 12 and 13. I have taken the initiative of splitting the original chapter 13 into two new chapters (12 and 13, precisely), because I consider them huge and autonomous. Phyllis, if you prefer a single chapter, with Latex it is very simple and fast to reunite them. In the DVD/BD chapter there are three references to 8.3.4 and 8.3.5, but I don't understand what they mean.
More notes: I deleted the first image from the original chapter 13 because it didn't seem necessary to me. Instead, the image of the Recording tab with the "realtime TOC" button active (paragraph 13.2.6 original), is of insufficient resolution, but I can not replicate it because I do not appear the check button. Maybe because I don't own a DVB card? Can you provide me with a higher resolution version?

In the manual; in chapter 14 ("the 5 multi-s"; section "14.5 multi session"), you can say that, by starting multiple sessions of CinGG, you can assign to each one its own .bcast through: Settings --> Preferences --> Interface --> Index files --> index files go here: ?

The reference to 8.3.4 can be deleted. The references to 8.3.5 should instead refer to the section "User-mode Blu-ray Render Workaround for Mount/Umount (was 13.4.7 in the .odt version). That is the beauty of Latex that it keeps track of all of this stuff.
Hi people, I am a lurker in this ml, I am sorry, I also am not really a cinelerra user but I do like _very much_ the project, the spirit, the people. To cut through the chase I want to contribute somehow with a suggestion. Here is my 2 cents: I see you talk about Latex because you seem to use it as a doc tool for cinelerra. I am sorry but I do not think that Latex is really a good language to write docs apart from math books. I mean that now there are better laguages that permits to write docs in an easier way. An easier way means also that you can attract more contributions, make more powerful conversions, manage translations in a more easier/more manageable way ... and so on. What am I talking about? I am talking about lightweight markup languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_markup_language I am sure you know already at least a couple of them. One of my favourite is asciidoc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AsciiDoc https://asciidoctor.org/docs/what-is-asciidoc/ For many reasons I think Asciidoc is the best markup language for docs. It is easy. It is readable. It is complete. It is standard (it in an advanced stardardization stage). It is implemented in many languages, currently python, ruby, javascript and java. The ruby version through the asciidoctor compiler being the most advanced and most actively developed and the python version still the most used... Example of users of asciidoc are: - github, which uses asciidoctor to render in real time docs committed to its git repos - the git manual, the kicad manual (which I am partly responsible for) and many, many others, see: Who's Using Asciidoctor? https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor.org/issues/270 Through the po4a tool it is easy to create, and most importantly manage, automatically updated multilanguage versions of the docs. See for example: (on the upper right side of the page you can switch the docs language...) http://docs.kicad-pcb.org/ Let me know if you want to know more about it... -- Best regards, Marco Ciampa I know a joke about UDP, but you might not get it. ------------------------ GNU/Linux User #78271 FSFE fellow #364 ------------------------
@Marco
For many reasons I think Asciidoc is the best markup language for docs. My compliments: the page of the KiCAD guides is really nice and convenient to use. Who knows if in the future we can do something similar. For now, we are stopping at a simple collection of pdfs (but we are now close to the end of the manual in LaTeX). I'll try to say my opinion. The use of LaTeX is mainly due to two factors: 1- Power of this language: Easy transposition from the originals (in .odt); easy incorporation of user additions and corrections without involving the global structure; total control over the final result (about 600 pages full of images, tables and lists); being able to get a nice PDF. 2- We are few and no one has proposed to use asciidoc. Instead Andrey proposed himself for Latex, and his knowledge of the language is so deep that he managed to explain it easily even to an ignorant person like me. :-).
@Andrey Despite the praise I've given you above, I'm too ignorant to be able to make a table for the Shortcuts :-) I've tried to study and adapt your examples, but I don't get usable results. I would need a structure like the one I show in the attached image (slightly modified from the table in the manual, because it contains errors). Another important question: [we talked about it some time ago, but I'm afraid I need detailed explanations] Come can I enter the huge amount of data in the libreoffice table as automatically as possible, instead of writing cell by cell? I tried to save the table in CSV, but I don't know how to do it. @Phyllis There is no hurry to have images or anything else; we can insert them easily when they are ready.

good point but ... with asciidoc there is almost no knowledge in writing the contents, so you don't have to ask the latex guru to make index, tables or so. If you look at the format it is almost like as writing this email. Yes it is that easy. Anyway when I have some spare time I can try to convert all 600 pages of docs in asciidoc to see how it comes out... PS: where are the doc sources?

The files in odt are in git: https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/git/?p=goodguy/documentation.git;a=summary But as we use them to make the manual in latex, they are changed and corrected (now we are on page 420, the 600 pages are only my estimate). If you use these, we will have two different versions in many small details and images. If you can use latex to convert to asciidoc, then in git we have the manual in development: https://github.com/einhander/cin-manual-latex This is the best option to use if possible. But it is better to wait for the opinion of others, especially Phyllis. Phyllis creates and manages the documentation. PS: di dove sei? Io sono di Siena.
Hi Marco, We have a discussion about markdown, and other markup languages in bugtracker https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/bugtracker/view.php?id=77 Asciidoc, markdown and other Lightweight markup language(LML) has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages you already mentioned is convertibility into html and into other formats. Syntax IMHO is a mater of taste. The disadvantages of LML is a continuation of it advantages, LML has a lack of control of output format. To produce a good pdf from Asciidoc, you have to fine tune the standard latex template and entire document, because Asciidoc and other LMLs use latex to convert into pdf. No Tikz drawing support. Sometime a conversion goes wrong, see attached file. And so on. LMLs produce a much simpler documents even with a latex support. LaTeX has much more power to do with pdf format, and because of that produce nice looking pdfs, that looks like a real book. And it's goes closer to some kind of art, see https://github.com/jemmybutton/byrne-euclid
Anyway when I have some spare time I can try to convert all 600 pages of docs in asciidoc to see how it comes out...
I don't know can I speak for a whole community, but we are welcome any help. It would be nice to have ability to convert latex manual into asciidoc. Best regards, Andrey

This is past. Asciidoctor-pdf produces beautiful pdf from scratch. No need to convert into docbook or latex anymore.

As already said, this is good for math books, and perhaps even for math book it is not compulsory since now you can just insert a small latex code into asciidoc when you need to render a formula...

Add chapter 16. Pdf at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0js49r47s0qu621/CinelerraGG_Manual.pdf?dl=0
Add chapter 17. In \todo I put two figures in which I copied your TikZ code to show writings and arrows, but the arrows are not displayed. I added the \caption package at Olaf's suggestion. Let me know if it's okay. I've also put in the latest changes made by Phyllis. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0js49r47s0qu621/CinelerraGG_Manual.pdf?dl=0
GG's response to Glenn in the forum seems (https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/forum/help-video/hotkey-to-deselect-all-groups/...) so clear and interesting to me that I propose to include it in the latex manual: GG on selection's method: [at the end of paragraph 5.5; as a final summary. then becomes a new paragraph 5.6 and the following are moved to 5.7, ... etc. I'd like to name the section: "Good Guy speaks:"] There are several "selections" method. First, in the olden days, there was the column oriented timeline drag selection. That manifests in 1 of 3 ways. a highlighed vertical column, a single flashing line, or the blue line region between the [in and ]out marker labels. When the drag column is in use, it has the highest precedence and is used for selection. When the column is a single line, then the fall back selection is the [in/out] marker region, if they are set. When they are not set, and the cursor is flashing, then the selection start=end and the selection is empty, but it does have a position on the timeline which can be used for editing. This is input for the vertical style cut/paste drag/drop editing. Now, in the new "group" world, there are "edit" selections. These are created by using the drag/drop cursor and clicking edits to toggle select/deselection. These are input to a different (more modern) set of cut/paste/overwrite drag/drop editing. These are the set of operations you see when you click an edit with the middle mouse button, and are available using the hot keys which are more like text editor, ^x=cut, ^c=copy, ^v=paste, and so on... The delete key is not hooked to these operations. It is hooked to the cursor selection region. If there are In/Out points, they enter the selection priority queue between the column selection and the cursor only. You can see the region selection blue line across the timebar. This means that when the cursor selection is empty, the in/out selection will be used.
OK, I will add that as I am working on the Editing section 5 right now -- got a little held up because there was a nesting related proxy bug IgorB had pointed out awhile back and I wanted to see if I had to change that too. But if you have already put that in, send it to me. On Sun, Jan 12, 2020 at 2:42 AM Andrea paz <[email protected]> wrote:

I've added the new section 5.6 and I enclose you editing.tex But are you sure GG will accept the title I put up? I can't believe it! :-)
Andrea, well "no" I will have to make changes! On Sun, Jan 12, 2020 at 12:45 PM Andrea paz <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi, @Andrea Thank you for your kind words. Let's start from your last question. There a several ways to do that. 1. Use Writer2Latex. In debian it in libreoffice-writer2latex package. Create table in Writer, select it, then go to Export... click the Selection checkbox and select LaTeX 2e from drop-down menu. After that the hude menu will appear. Select Ultraclean Article, Pdf (pdfTeX) and Unicode (UTF8) from drop-down menu, untick all other option, end click Export. Save new file and open it with Texstudio. Scroll down to the table. Note that Writer2Latex use supertabular package (but I don't like to use it). You can copy the entire table or copy only content. I prefer to create table header independently, to ensure the best results. One caveat, don't use any formatting in Write, except cell merging/splitting. 2. Use Calc2Latex extension for LibreOffice, it's old but still usable. Can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/calc2latex/ Open any spreadsheet and select the rows/columns you want to appear in your table. Go to "Extras / Execute Macro / My Macros/Calc2Latex". Click on "Main" in the right side and "execute". Then you can copy entire table or only a content. I used that extension for a long time, then moved to the next method. 3. Script for Texstudio. Can be found here https://sourceforge.net/p/texstudio/wiki/Scripts/#paste-as-latex-table Copy entire script, open Texstudio and go to Macros -> Edit Macros -> Add. Paste entire script into text field LaTeX Content, tick script mark. Then copy table or cells from calc, go to Texstudio and use the script. 4. Online table generators. https://www.tablesgenerator.com/ or similar. Can't say anything about them. The first question. Give me some time and I'll create the header for that table. It's OK if I'll paste it in mail message, not in repo? Thu, Oct 10, 2019 at 02:55:48PM +0200, Andrea paz написал:
@Andrey
Despite the praise I've given you above, I'm too ignorant to be able to make a table for the Shortcuts :-) I've tried to study and adapt your examples, but I don't get usable results. I would need a structure like the one I show in the attached image (slightly modified from the table in the manual, because it contains errors). Another important question: [we talked about it some time ago, but I'm afraid I need detailed explanations] Come can I enter the huge amount of data in the libreoffice table as automatically as possible, instead of writing cell by cell? I tried to save the table in CSV, but I don't know how to do it.
@Phyllis
There is no hurry to have images or anything else; we can insert them easily when they are ready.

I am a lurker in this ml, I am sorry, I also am not really a cinelerra user but I do like _very much_ the project, the spirit, the people.
Lurkers are welcome! and it is nice to get more opinions from outside who have experience in different areas. I am sorry but I do not think that Latex is really a good language to write
docs apart from math books. ...
I mean that now there are better laguages that permits to write docs in
... One of my favourite is asciidoc.
I see that asciidoc is text format. That for me, personally, is the number 1 reason for using any document writing tool. It has to be in text format so that only the actual changes can be checked into GIT (like github does) without checking in a whole bunch of stuff -- that was the major problem with using the original .odt format. So Latex fits and exists just about everywhere. You may be right that other tools would fit even better. As there is a lot of work to get a good document completed and to keep it updated, the current set of people doing the work have to be happy with which tool is being used and I have to be able to change it continuously as the developer changes stuff so frequently. I think I can learn to use Latex most easily because of my background. The MAJOR GOAL right now is to get the document in a correct and current state, and as .odt, it was not easily fixed. Once in Latex there is still a lot of work to get it updated to actually match the software. If in the future, other considerations come into play, it sounds like it could be switched over if needed.
I know a joke about UDP, but you might not get it.
To steal someone's quote from the internet, "The problem with UDP jokes is that I don't get half of them!"
