Bug ID: 471094
Summary: Be able to select panels without firing up any action
in the process...
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
One thing that often gets in the way of a smooth workflow in Kdenlive is the
fact that whenever you make a click to select a panel to make it the
active/current one, something always happens right away. This often results in
a distraction (caused by the fact that you have to revert the change made, or
stop the action being executed without intention and the resume what you went
to do initially), so I think it should be avoided whenever technically
possible.
OBSERVED RESULT
Depending on where you make click you get:
- Project Bin: the Clip Monitor goes to front, even when you haven't selected
any clip in there.
- Monitors: start reproducing the shown video.
- Timeline empty space [Selection Tool active]: change the time cursor position
to where you made the click, clicking on an empty space in any track or even
where there's no track at all.
- Timeline Clip/Wipes/Track: Effects Stack panel goes to front. (OK, I know
this can be switched on/off in Preferences, and it's not a bad thing per se,
but just something to take into account when organizing panels in the UI, so
not to end up having a messy workflow.
EXPECTED RESULT
Be able to make click on a panel to making it current, without any action
starting to happen immediately.
Perhaps there's a way to do it and I don't know it yet, if that's the case my
apologies.
Thanks for listening!
