Title: Use a text-based project file format Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Bug description: Problem: The .osp project files that openshot generates are a proprietary binary format, which means that I absolutely have to use the OpenShot GUI to do all the tasks I need to do. Using a text editor to e.g. add 100 image files that fade into each other every 5 seconds with 1.5 seconds transition time is not possible. Solution Using a text-based (preferably XML-based) project file format. This has several advantages: - Manipulation from outside tools is possible easily - Can be repaired manually in case something went really wrong Also, mass-adjusting settings with a text editor's search and replace feature cannot be done. What I tried I tried to export the project to .mlt, change all the settings with a text editor and then open it again. Unfortunately, OpenShot imports that file as a single file instead of an own project - so this way is not usable. Happened to me on OpenShot 1.4.0, Ubuntu 11.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/879697/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu Post to : linux-traipu@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
