Remember / persist more settings & state

[mifi]

Some of these settings should only remembered for the current session (reset when restarting losslesscut or when explicitly closing file), while other should persist. Need to think about it.

Note: Many of these have keyboard shortcuts that you can bind, making the workflow much faster (even if not remembered).

• [ ] Waveform/thumbnails/keyframes button remember last state #751 #843
• [ ] Delete source file #860 #600 #903
• [x] concat/batch dialog selection #847
• [ ] Convert to supported format choice (currently only remembered for current app launch)
• [ ] Import chapters from opened file, remember setting, or have 3 options: Yes, Ask, No #1240
• [x] change jpeg quality parameters (compression and subsampling) when capture a single frame or 'extract all frames of segment' #1141
• [ ] Option to disable blurring of the background in a dialog #890
• [ ] Disable eye candy (animations) #880 #1410
• [ ] Open new file while existing file is loaded, remember choice
• [x] Allow multiple instances
• [ ] Black/scene/silence detect dialog parameters etc https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/371#issuecomment-1435702741
• [x] #1354
• [ ] Save the default [Open Ctrl+O] and [Tools]-[Merge/concatenate Files] folder paths in [File]-[Settings Ctrl+,] for [Custom Open Directory].
• [ ] Remember frequently used labels #427
• [ ] Saved JS expressions https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/discussions/2035#discussion-6821170
• [ ] Remember more merge options #1354
• [ ] Align segment times to keyframes remember last used #2127

Possibly stored in .llc file:

• [ ] #1329 #885
• [ ] Enabled Tracks #1465 / Discard audio #1135
• [ ] Rotation
• [ ] Support multiple sets of segments #1945
• [ ] Store media file location - an absolute path to the media. should probably be stored in a platform independent way (we currently only store mediaFileName) #1385

Other requested features:

• [x] Be able to override any settings from the command line
• [ ] Have multiple settings "presets" that can be switched between

Rotation lock.

I +1 for remembering the No Audio option. For most, if not all of my videos, I like to audio to be removed. It's cumbersome to have to click the Keep Audio button every time to switch it to Discard Audio.

next version has a new jpeg quality settting

I am constantly changing the black_min_duration for black detect and minChange for scene detect.

Would love for it to either remember my last setting or have a settings option to override the defaults.

[hulleyrob]

Can I add duration (detect silence scenes) to the list above. (1.0 seems to work better than 2.0 for me)

I've upvoted #890 but I'm not sure if that gets noticed, since it's been collapsed in this multi issue (which seems like an effective way to send these to the issue graveyard, BTW).

Since I don't see a surge of upvotes coming for that particular improvement, is there a way to disable the blur from the console or something the like ?

I'm not particular about a pretty switch, I just need to get rid of that nasty, nasty blur.

[mifi]

You could try to try to add a CSS rule. if you open developer tools and select the blur background, you could find the rule and disable it. then I think you could also create some javascript that you could paste into the console to add a global css rule to disable it

Also Merge/Concatenate files Options should be remembered. e.g. "Create chapters..." is already remembered, "Always open..." is not.

Is this included in the above as it doesnt seem to have its own checkbox and must be my most made change every time I use the program?

yes it's part of the bullet point "Black/scene/silence detect dialog parameters etc"
