Re: [DVBCUT-devel] Arrow key bindings not always working
Hello developers, from this mail I learned you are not experienced in programming with Qt. I do programming with Qt since nearly 10 years now (private and sometimes professional). So I may be helpfull for your team. If you are interested let me know.

Re: [DVBCUT-devel] Arrow key bindings not always working
Hello, Not being a developer of dvbcut, I cannot speak for them, but I assume that a Help menu would be of great benefit to it; especially for new users of the application. Moreover, what about adding items (probably buttons) to the gui that would provide the same functions as the arrow keys of the keyboard (jump forward and backward)? There does not seem to be any indication about this fonctionality in the gui. These are only two things from the top of my head... In any case, great to have another person offering to help to enhance this useful software.

Hello, Michael Riepe wrote: and make the keys configurable in the settings file; in other words keys that don't have a system assignment and that could be used regardless of the focus!? I don't know if Qt lets you do that in a portable way. FYI: I am using dvbcut on a GNOME desktop. Moreover, if somebody decides to enhance the key bindings part and to make the keys configurable in the settings file, I would suggest to not only define the two keys for backward and forward; but it would probably be simpler for the user to also have keys without modifier to replace the scrollwheel+modifier. Remember that the alphabet only has 26 characters, and that we already use a lot of them. Do I get it right: dvbcut is already using most of the alphabet!? If so, I think that you should really add a Help menu to dvbcut; even if that help menu would only open a text file with instructions in an external editor or web browser. In fact, your reply seems to tell me that there is a lot about dvbcut that I don't know yet; and googling for pieces of information on the internet is not ideal. On the other hand, you are right that the alphabet only has 26 characters; but keyboards, even on a notebook, have considerably more. Cheers Francesco PS: Please, don't get me wrong: I am only trying to help to further improve dvbcut. -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword ___ DVBCUT-devel mailing list DVBCUT-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dvbcut-devel
