Remember / persist more settings & state

[mifi]

Some of these settings should only remembered for the current session (reset when restarting losslesscut or when explicitly closing file), while other should persist. Need to think about it.

Note: Many of these have keyboard shortcuts that you can bind, making the workflow much faster (even if not remembered).

• Waveform/thumbnails/keyframes button remember last state Waveform button remember last state #751 Persistent/inconsistent settings below timeline [Show waveform/thumbnails/keyframes] #843
• Delete source file Preference for deleting source file confirmation #860 [Feature Request] option to auto delete source file after export #600 #903
• concat/batch dialog selection I always want to "merge" how do I disable pointless dialog? #847
• Convert to supported format choice (currently only remembered for current app launch)
• Import chapters from opened file, remember setting, or have 3 options: Yes, Ask, No Option to autoimport chapters #1240
• change jpeg quality parameters (compression and subsampling) when capture a single frame or 'extract all frames of segment' JPG quality of captured frames #1141
• Option to disable blurring of the background in a dialog Option to disable blurring of the background in a dialog #890
• Disable eye candy (animations) Eye candy features making LosslessCut slow on some computers #880 Disabling Animation #1410
• Open new file while existing file is loaded, remember choice
• Allow multiple instances
• Black/scene/silence detect dialog parameters etc Remember / persist more settings & state #371 (comment)
• Remember compatibility option for joining files #1354
• Save the default [Open Ctrl+O] and [Tools]-[Merge/concatenate Files] folder paths in [File]-[Settings Ctrl+,] for [Custom Open Directory].
• Remember frequently used labels Labeling and tags improvements #427
• Saved JS expressions Does the JavaScript expression support allow presets to be saved as preferences? #2035 (comment)
• Remember more merge options Remember compatibility option for joining files #1354
• Align segment times to keyframes remember last used Align segment times to keyframes remember last used #2127

Possibly stored in .llc file:

• Save which segments are selected/unselected in .llc file #1329 Remember excluded clips (selected/deselected segments) #885
• Enabled Tracks
  • Suggest the option of set by default the Tracks you normal use.  #1465
  • Discard audio Allow defaulting to no audio export #1135
  • Allow remembering selected tracks from previous file (maybe an option?)
• Rotation
• Support multiple sets of segments Support multiple sets of segments in LLC project file #1945
• Store media file location - an absolute path to the media. should probably be stored in a platform independent way (we currently only store mediaFileName) Project File LLC should store File Location #1385

Other requested features:

• Be able to override any settings from the command line
• Have multiple settings "presets" that can be switched between

Rotation lock.

I +1 for remembering the No Audio option. For most, if not all of my videos, I like to audio to be removed. It's cumbersome to have to click the Keep Audio button every time to switch it to Discard Audio.

next version has a new jpeg quality settting

I am constantly changing the black_min_duration for black detect and minChange for scene detect.

Would love for it to either remember my last setting or have a settings option to override the defaults.

[hulleyrob]

Can I add duration (detect silence scenes) to the list above. (1.0 seems to work better than 2.0 for me)

[Mrnofish]

I've upvoted #890 but I'm not sure if that gets noticed, since it's been collapsed in this multi issue (which seems like an effective way to send these to the issue graveyard, BTW).

Since I don't see a surge of upvotes coming for that particular improvement, is there a way to disable the blur from the console or something the like ?

I'm not particular about a pretty switch, I just need to get rid of that nasty, nasty blur.

[mifi]

You could try to try to add a CSS rule. if you open developer tools and select the blur background, you could find the rule and disable it. then I think you could also create some javascript that you could paste into the console to add a global css rule to disable it

Also Merge/Concatenate files Options should be remembered.
e.g. "Create chapters..." is already remembered, "Always open..." is not.

Is this included in the above as it doesnt seem to have its own checkbox and must be my most made change every time I use the program?

yes it's part of the bullet point "Black/scene/silence detect dialog parameters etc"

[mifi]

Black/scene/silence detect dialog parameters will be remembered in the next version (until app is restarted)

[hulleyrob]

YAY! Been waiting for this. Thank you.

[hulleyrob]

Further to trying this out it's now obvious I open and close the window a lot between edits. Is there anyway to make this persist between sessions?

not exactly sure what you're asking and which version you're on

Is there any way for these settings to persist after closing and reopening the app. It's not possible in the current version I'm using. (3.64.0)

not currently. you would have to write them down outside losslesscut and re-enter when you re-open the app after closing it

Thought so. It's just this is something I'm doing pretty much every time I use the app. I've managed to create keyboard shortcuts for everything else so that I can pretty much tap some keys to do what I want but entering this every time takes about as long as everything else. Please consider having a persistent setting for this even an ini override or something in the config file would be fine.

[mifi]

Is it possible to optimize your workflow so that you don’t have to close the app between each file you process?

[hulleyrob]

I tried and the first thing I did after export was close the app...

I can see this being a problem which is why I asked if it would be at all possible.

I can see why you want to reset the defaults but if there was a way for someone to change those defaults on purpose that most people would not do that would be great.

[mifi]

Anything is possible but i need to prioritize, and i feel that storing it until app restart is a good compromise.
