I always think that potentially destructive operations like 'save' or 'delete', when assigned to single keystrokes, can be dangerous. We are much less likely to accidentally touch of ctrl+s than we are to accidentally type s. I have had a number of occasions where i'm working on complex projects with nested edls and accidentally saved my error, requiring me to retrace my steps.
Speaking of this, I would like to suggest incorporating a feature which has frequently saved me in audio work: automatic backups. Mixbus (and to my knowledge, Ardour), make periodic automatic snapshots of the active session tagged with date and time. That way, if I screw something up, I can recover a version from an hour or two previous without having to start over again. I don't know if this could be compatible with the Cinelerra model of not collecting session materials in a single folder, but it certainly has been a help in those few times I needed it! Thanks for all the work everyone is doing! Dan > On 09/08/2020 9:26 AM Igor BEGHETTO via Cin <> wrote: > > > > Preview: I think that a software must to do user's life more easy, if > --> SPAM?
