Hmm, can't be "really":
paul@stromboli ~ $ grep 4mv /usr/share/winff/presets.xml
paul@stromboli ~ $
But I expected this bug to appear. You updated winff from a previous
version and winff unfortunately stores a copy of the above mentioned
file in ~/.winff/ the first time it runs. So the package is fixed, but
winff still uses the old file and the user has to replace (or merge in
the case of local changes) the presets.xml file in the package with the
presets.xml file in the user folder.
When no changes were made locally the procedure is simple (in a terminal
window):
mv ~/.winff/presets.xml ~/.winff/presets.xml.old
You can then start winff again. I propose to make the backup, just in
case you discover that you did make relevant changes. Of course you can
make rename that file also in you favorite file browser.
Unfortunately there is no plain method in packaging land to do such a
thing in the package, so the only other option would be to fix winff to
do that. Unfortunately, this has not been accomplished by upstream due
to complexity to do it programmatic, and due to lack of urgency. It now
hits us by an major change of ffmpeg, and has hit us long time in the
past when we didn't understand the direction of the solution yet.
