I made some changes that add the possibility to save a project-file in ascii mode rather than binary. The choice is set through preferences window. Saving in ascii mode permits to modify some details of the project using a text editor (e.g. replace clip files references) As I've tried to implement it now this feature simply saves in ascii using cPickle serialization ascii protocol, in the future it could be used to save in other forms (e.g. xml). Added some effects XML files as well.
** Attachment added: "openshot_save_as_ascii.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37711806/openshot_save_as_ascii.diff -- Project file should be a plain text file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Developers, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Bug description: The OpenShot project file should be a plain text file. It is now a binary, thus not human readable nor adjustable. Advantages of using clear text: - you can clearly see what and how things are organised - things can be easily adjusted when something goes wrong - you can do automated text operations with grep/sed/awk etc. This is related (technically) to the problem where the path of the thumbnails of imported clips are registered in an absolute way. Moving the project file to another location or renaming the folder containing this project file, leads to not properly display of the thumbnails within the clips on the IDE. This could be adjusted, as a workaround, if the project file was in plain text. https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/423948 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
