Brian, he succinctly pointed out the use case that you previously failed to see by coupling the two alignment properties. :-) The problem with your workaround described above is that requires knowledge of how wide the rendered text is so that you can set X properly. That is not good for people who are using MLT programmatically outside of a GUI tool. I realize that your goals may be different than his, and quite frankly Satya could submit the patch that does what he needs (it can simply expose a distinct "text_align" property that sets the pango's align property). -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
