Newest version changes layout a bit.

[davidtri1]

I appreciate your work on the latest version. All the versions work better than the one from last year. However, the layout seems to have changed. Hitting the key e used to start exporting. Now it does not work anymore. Now I have to click on the "Exporting" button to export.

The dialog box changes a little bit. The distance between the first item and the X has changes. This causes my autohotkey script to stop working. Now I have to redo the script to work with 3.67.1

Please don't change keyboard shortcuts and physical layout in future versions. Thank you.

Hi
E key still works for exporting for me. Is it possible that focus has been set on a UI element (like a button) after clicking on it before pressing E maybe? To reset focus, click on some blank area of the ui, or on the video preview.

not sure what you mean by «first item and X». Do you mean the close button in the top right of the dialog?
I cannot guarantee UI positioning across versions, but maybe instead of looking for position, you can use the Tab key to cycle between buttons, which is how screen readers do it. (Check the text of the button)

[davidtri1]

You are right. The key E works. My mistake.

And thank you for the suggestion of using tab. It's so much easier than looking for position.

You hard work is appreciated.

[davidtri1]

I spoke too soon. After clicking the key E, sometimes it takes 4 tabs and sometimes 6 tabs to go to the "Keeping tracks" button on the next page.

That's because the number of UI elements are different. i'd rather recommend binding the hotkey toggleStreamsSelector to open that screen before exporting

Great tip. Thank you. David Trinh

I use losslesscut to remove commercials from recorded TV shows. Most TP/TS files have a track number 3) for the hearing impaired that losslesscut won't process and has to be removed by the user.

My little autohotkey script is for removing the unneeded track above. In an older version (2 versions back), it works even if there is no track to remove.

1. The script finds the 3rd track, unchecks it, closes the window, and hit E to start exporting
2. If there is no 3rd track to be removed, it clicks on an empty space where the 3rd would be, closes the window, and hit E to start exporting.

In the latest version, the "Include more tracks from other file" in the same location where the 3rd would be. My script would click on this option which is not what I want.

It would be awesome if you can increase the instance between the 2nd track and "Include more tracks from other file" just a little bit. But it's no big deal. The script still works. I just need to make sure that there is a 3rd to be removed. Thanks.

Unfortunately I cannot take into consideration the exact positioning of UI elements when developing losslesscut. In this case I would instead recommend using the "Filter tracks" dialog to make an expression that disables that particular track, and then bind a keyboard action to toggleStripCurrentFilter which executes this action after you have opened a new file.

[davidtri1]

This works perfectly. Thank you.

[davidtri1]

The expression is not saved when the app closes. It has be entered each time the app starts. Is there a way to save it? Thanks.

[mifi]

not currently. see #2035 #371
