            Bug ID: 471084
           Summary: Improve Focus Timecode time input to make it faster.
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kdenlive
           Version: git-master
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: User Interface
          Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
          Reporter: gabcor...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When inputting a specific timecode to jump to, it would be better to take the
typed HH:MM:SS:FF digits in pairs from right to left. That's the way other
programs do it, and it results in faster, more flexible interaction.

Below is an example of what to expect from the proposed input method, assuming
a 25 fps project:
NOTE: when finished typing, user would need to press Enter key to end and
process the desired input.

[digits typed  -->  resulting timecode]
0  -->  00:00:00:00
24  -->  00:00:00:24
25  -->  00:00:01:00 
5924  --> 00:00:59:24 
5925  --> 00:01:00:00
595924  -->  00:59:59:24
595925  -->  01:00:00:00
etc...

Also, it'd be just great to allow to enter relative numbers to advance/rewind a
certain amount of time from the current time, like shown below:

[current time = 00:05:20:10]
+1510  -->  00:05:35:20
-1510  -->  00:05:05:00
+21510  -->  00:07:35:20
etc...

Finally, I'm not inventing anything here, just describing how things work in
Premiere Pro, in this respect.
I'm not a big fan of copying features just for the sake of it, but this feature
comes really handy while moving in the timeline on certain kinds of projects.

Thanks for listening!
