<div dir="ltr">Thank you very much Ugin for being honest. I find it a real shame that Cinelerra has these shadows that can disenchant users. Nobody likes losing their job.<br><br>Just today I find an email from a blog reader. Cinelerra was suddenly closed, it "hung", as we say in computer jargon and when trying to recover his work he mistakenly gave the option "Save backup" instead of "Load backup" and the poor man was desperate wondering if there was any way to get his work back, because apparently he had been working on a project for a long time and he forgot to save, and the application accidentally closed ...<br><br>So I'm seeing that Cinelerra has many traps that can ruin your work. That an application closes is something that happens even in the best professional applications ... but that an application has an option that can ruin your work, I am only seeing this in Cinelerra GG.<br><br>And it's a shame, and the more I think about it, I can't understand what the point is to have an option to save a backup, with a keyboard shortcut and everything. If when you want to save your project, you just press "s" and that's it. If this option, without any sense and logic, were not in Cinelerra today, a user could have recovered their work, their time ... I think that those responsible and advisers for the development of Cinelerra GG should consider very seriously these trap options that can disenchant the most fervent user of Cinelerra GG.<br><br>And honestly more than making a programmer work making advanced menus in a batch render window, for options that do not make any sense in these types of windows, I see it as a great waste of time, this is my opinion and again I am sorry to say it As I think about it, I think it would be better to remove // these options and spend this valuable time adding to Cinelerra GG these wonderful FFMPEG transitions that you have shared in another email.<br>Sorry again for the "roll".<br>Sincerely Rafa.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">El lun, 11 ene 2021 a las 18:36, preobraz--- via Cin (<<a href="mailto:cin@lists.cinelerra-gg.org">cin@lists.cinelerra-gg.org</a>>) escribió:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Rafa, don't worry about expressing your thoughts directly.
