Bug ID: 408142
Summary: Improve workflow when remove empty space
Product: kdenlive
Version: 19.04.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 120427

step 2 and step 3 side by side
SUMMARY
When removing empty space in timeline the play head stays in the same place on
screen. This effectively moves the play head forward on the next clip by some
arbitrary amount.
Clip editing workflow would be much more smooth and intuitive if the playhead
could be placed at the beginning of the first clip located just after the empty
space.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create empty space between two clips (called left and right)
2. Move playhead somewhere into the empty space
3. Remove empty space (i.e. by pressing shift+space)
OBSERVED RESULT
Playhead retains it's location on the screen and is now placed some seconds
into the right clip. Pressing space at this moment plays the right clip not
from the beginning but rather from a more or less random spot to the right.
EXPECTED RESULT
The playhead could move to the beginning of the right clip so one space is
pressed the playback would start from there.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
I have experienced this on 19.04.0.
I imagine it's quite OS agnostic.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Originally I thought this might become a feature to turn on in the settings,
but I don't see how current behavior would be useful. I recommend to change
default behavior if it doesn't break anything else.
