Custom presets #105

Open PabloGrok opened 4 years ago

PabloGrok commented 4 years ago

I can imagine this is in the pipeline, but just in case: it would be great if the user could create custom presets. I for one, have been using MystiQ to do a very simple -codec copy conversion from mkv to mp4, which works great but is not available in the presets. Typing the option in the advanced settings is a workaround, but saving it as new preset from the same advanced settings tab would be great. I would create professional codecs presets too (for DNxHD or ProRes, for instance) or edit friendly presets.

Thanks for the nice app.

Tell us about professional codecs presets (for DNxHD or ProRes, for instance), please

Can you be more specific? What exactly do you want me to tell you?

Don't worry, we already investigated about it. We will work on presets related to DNxHR and DNxHD

Great. Don't forget Prores, and Cineform decoding (there's no Cineform encoding in ffmpeg, I believe).

How about my suggestion about user-created custom presets?

aekaisato commented 4 years ago

I think a good, easy way to implement this would be in a way similar to QWinFF's presets, though a built-in preset manger would be even better. I don't know if individually implementing suggestions would be as much help as allowing users to create their own presets.

At the moment, I have no problem adding all the presets suggested by the community. In the near future, we will be able to enable the user to add their own presets. And yes, the format of the presets is equal to QWinFF

And yes, the format of the presets is equal to QWinFF

Since the format is already the same, why not allow the user to change the XML file, like how QWinFF has the presets.xml located at /usr/share/qwinff/presets.xml, so then if needed, the user can simply change it? Even better, why not allow a per-user presets.xml in ~/.config/qwinff/presets.xml? I assume the first option should be easiest to implement, though, due to the similarities between MystiQ and QWinFF. The rigidity of the preset list right now is the one thing that's holding me back from completely switching over to MystiQ from QWinFF.

I would also be pleased to see custom presets. Sorry I was the one who opened the duplicate issue #116 , closed it now. MystiQ is nice software, simple but powerful. Thanks.

Sorry if this is an unnecessary bump, but wouldn't it be a good idea to rename the title off this issue to "custom presets" from "cutom presets" (fixing the spelling error) to make it easier to search for?

Done

Custom presets using gui like this image image image

In the source, there is a prests.xml, but if I search it on the system, where MystiQ is installed, I can't find it. An option to show it's location or to use an additional file, where a user could set up own settings, would be nice.
