Title: Naming of saved files
Post by: reddwarf4ever on November 29, 2016, 06:09:41 PM
Hello
Used this program to,trim the beginning and end from some web captured video...very easy to use.

Only ting is, that the file name seems to be held after the first save...so future saves have to have the file name edited, or copy and paste the original file name over the save name.
Is it possible to use the filname being edited for the save file name...

Also had to close the program Carlos W before each file was added, or the timeline was incorrect...maybe an option to ' clear' or close automatically after a save....would help a lot.

Still an excellent program.

This works for me, no need to close video after saving before loading a next video, the total duration matches the duration of the loaded video. Please specify the version you use and exact steps to reproduce.

This is my biggest annoyance with this great program. Should be easy to fix though.

Basically it works as you wish: the suggested file name is the original name of the loaded video with the extension replaced according to the selected muxer. It doesn't work only if you use the list of recent files to open the video.

Should be fixed once [core, qt] Use the base name of the currently loaded video as the default base name when saving (https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/pull/88) or another, better solution gets merged.
