Git commit 44e0ed6ba35decede03a969ac463ea71b9894705 by Jean-Baptiste Mardelle. Committed on 13/07/2016 at 10:57. Pushed by mardelle into branch 'master'. Show track buttons even on smaller track sizes M +1 -0 src/timeline/customruler.cpp M +1 -0 src/timeline/customtrackview.cpp M +19 -5 src/timeline/headertrack.cpp M +2 -2 src/timeline/timeline.cpp M +134 -104 src/ui/timeline_ui.ui M +15 -10 src/ui/trackheader_ui.ui http://commits.kde.org/kdenlive/44e0ed6ba35decede03a969ac463ea71b9894705 Hmm ... only works half on my system: while the controllers are mostly kept, some of them still vanish. Also, since the track header width it simply too narrow, I only see one or two title letters, then the lock icon, then the mute icon, ... then something that looks like an overflow-menu icon ">" that doesn't work at all. So the video and composite controls are missing. For the bottommost track, there is no composite control, so lock, mute, hide video all fit into the space. My personal impression is that making the track headers resizeable would not only solve this problem, but also the issue of narrow track headers in general. Users then could adapt the Kdenlive track header width to their particular display and project setup. With my latest patch, the header width is resizable. You can drag the right border to make it larger. The ">" icon works for me if tracks are too narrow, but you should anyways be able to resize to show all icons... Oops, didn't notice that the tracks headers are now realizable. Works soo great, thank you very much! The overflow button doesn't work for me at the first click. I have to click again so it deselects. Then clicking once more it now displays the overflow menu. Afterwards, the ">" works as expected. The same happens for all track headers: at first, the ">" doesn't work, click, click, and now they start working. Did I say THANK YOU for resizable track headers? THANK YOU! Only a minor nitpick: track header width is not made persistent (either in project or for Kdenlive itself). Would it be possible to at least store it as part of Kdenlive's UI configuration? Jean-Baptiste, thank you for adding persistence of the set video track header width across sessions! This is sweet. thanks jb. |
