So it's impossible to change dvbcut GUI elements without Qtdesinger? > And normally for a given pipe command not all muxers make sense, so > it is dangerous to let the user choose among all with a combo box (at least > for the preset pipe commands). For instance dvdauthor only will work with DVD > NAV-Pakets (muxer 0 and 2)... That is true but any sort of postprocessing should be possible with the pipe.. > That would be the best solution... a file menu entry "Export to pipe" (like > "Export video"), which opens a dialog with a file/directory selection field, You mean for the dvdauthor output (-o option)? The chosen file/directory could be embedded in the command string using $1 (or similar), but it should be kept as general as possible. (sorry, haven't looked at your patch in detail, maybe that's already the case) > a combo box with the available pipe commands (editable/viewable in an > additional text field) and an additonal checkbox&textfield for an optional > post processing command. Actually I already had that idea, too... ;) Sounds good. > No idea how to do this... does execl return the child return code? No. You would have to check the result from the waitpid() call. If it's 127, then there was a fatal error (probable cause: executable not found or not really executable). > I use now system() (what exactly is the difference to exec()?) system() always uses the shell with all its features and baggage. > to check for > the pipe command with 'which' and only proceed if the commmand is found! I really don't think this is necessary, but that is a question of taste. "which" AFAIK isn't universally available. Besides, it doesn't really guarantee that execution will succeed. The only way top find out is to try. > Therefore one can now again give a pipe comand without specifying the full > path (if it's in the systems $PATH). That was already possible (because the execl() call used the shell, and that in turn uses PATH).
