Set default cut range is required #22

riopapa commented 4 years ago

Thanks very much for good tool. I am using 0.15.0.0 for my video footage now. I usually cut front part of mine using "[", but I always have to move to the end and click "]" to cut video. Is it possible to set default values for "[" at the begining and for "]" at the end just after loading video footage?

One more thing, How about to add auto play on/off option on setting screen? Currently video is auto played when open, and not easy to "[" position while playing..

Very thanks in advance. :-)

Well, I somehow don't like the idea of setting cut range automatically to the end of the video. Bu instead, I plan the following:

When selecting range by mouse (middle button):

When using keys:

Would this satisfy your needs?

Regarding autostart - indeed, option in settings dialog is missing. But actually it is already present in config.js file: "Autostart": true, Unfortunately it seems there is a bug and setting this property to false does not work as expected (video can't be played any more at all). This also will be fixed in 0.16.

The autostart feature turned out to be more complicated. It basically works (if Autostart is set to false in config.js) but program does not work 100% correctly when started with stopped video. Selecting a given point on timeline doesn't work reliable. So, I decided to keep the Autostart parameter somehow hidden (do not add it to the settings window). Other features (autoamticaly selecting ranges) are implemented in v0.16.
