[Cin] Batchrender update diff

Wed Jan 20 09:37:19 CET 2021

A Cinelerra project always starts with:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<EDL VERSION=Infinity PATH="">
Perhaps you can indicate in the code that if the file you find has in the
header "EDL VERSION = Infinity" or simply "EDL"  ignore this file, do
nothing with it and get an error that says "This file is not a batch render"

I see that the batch list headers are different:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<JOBS>
And they do not contain the EDL attribute.
Maybe I'm saying other nonsense because I don't know how to program.

You are really good, I know, because a person who understands told me that
the Cinelerra code requires a person with a lot of knowledge and
experience. And you are demonstrating both characteristics and solving
everything.

I feel bad for being so perfectionist with these things and always very
critical of functions that can damage our work.

The render window is now much better than a few days ago. Above all, safer
and easier to use. I keep the option to see dangerous buttons disabled, I
don't need them because of the way I wo
