I tried to do this when I initially wrote the KRender class (you'll see some half-finished methods, currently commented out). I stopped working on it because I had problems setting a working directory with the KProcess class (used for creating new processes). At the time it was a little early to expect Piave to load DV clips using absolute filenames. I can code up a config dialog to be able to select the path to piave, which should not be too difficult, but it makes sense to have the scenelist working first so that piave can be given absolute filepaths. BTW, could you extend the -s command line option so that it can take a port number i.e. piave -s 6100 I'm not sure if any other programs use 6100 - I chose it at random - and would like it to be user-definable :-) Cheers, Jason -- Jason Wood Homepage : www.uchian.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
