[Cin] *Broken* patch - reset some parameters in Titler (crashes Cin!)

[Rafa Mar Multimedia en Gnu\Linux]

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.

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.
