Bug 474818

THANK YOU

Hi, there.

First, thank you all the developers and all users involved with KDEnlive project.

I thought about this feature, but, since I am not developer and I don't know the difficult to develop things, I found the easiest way to create this feature would be "recycle" what we already have.

FEATURE REQUEST

Create some "action", (sorry, I don't know the right word) to maximize the waveform zoom in clip monitor. This "action" would localize in clip monitor hamburger options (More Options...). The possibility to add some custom keyboard shortcut would be so cool too. And, the most important thing, this state of waveform zoom must be persistent, when change to other clips, until the user "return" to default behavior.

With persistent, I mean: today, with the KDEnlive 23.08.1, if you zoom in the clip monitor waveform with Ctrl + scroll the mouse wheel down (only way to do this, as far as I know), and select other clip in Project Bin, the state of clip monitor waveform will reset to lowest zoom (it zoom out completely).

WHY ADD IT?

I think it feature would be nice since almost of time, I make decoupage work to my projects, creating marks and organize the content with "Insert Zone to Project Bin" feature. 

Mainly when I take use of "Insert Zone to Project Bin", I feel the need of "persistent" behavior: if you create some "clip" with "Insert Zone to Project Bin" and want rename, when you select it, the zoom of clip monitor waveform will be lost. So,  when you come back to the clip what you making the decoupage, it will necessary to maximize the zoom with Ctrl + scroll the mouse wheel down, what take so many time and it's really annoying to do.

FINAL THOUGHT

I describe the core about this feature, so feel free to modify. You could tell me to add the clip to the timeline and make the decoupage task there, but the clip monitor is more convenient and you don't need overcharge the sequence with clips (ok, you have the nested timeline and the possibility to dedicate only one sequence to this process, but this feature is in your first steps and I do not feel confident to use this "way".)

I really appreciate if you read here, since I took time to translate to English (my mother language is Portuguese, :P ).
