How to save current preferences as custom preset file and apply it on occasion?

[pstein]

Assume I have setup for the currently loaded (digicam)video a certain set of preferences (e.g. re-encode it with another video and audio-codec and rotate it by 90 deg).

Ok, I can now apply it on  the current video.
But moreover I want to use this set for other videos in the future again without having to manually re-setup all preferences again.
So how can I save the current preferences as custompref7.ini and load it in e.g. 2 weeks again?

The current settings should NOT be the one-and-only default settings.
So tomorrow they could be temporarily changed. But in two weeks I want to have access either by a menu "load settings from file" or call avidemux somehow by cmdline parameter like

avidemux2.exe -settings=custompref7.ini

How can I do this in detail?

If this currently is not possible: Could this feature be included in next release?

Thank you

Have you looked at save as project from file Menu? Should do some stuff you want?

[pstein]

The problem with this "Save project as" is that it is not movie independent.

Users MUST load a movie in advance and bind the current preferences to exactly this movie.

In contrast I want to start Avidemux with my individual customized preferences.

So again: How can I achieve this?

When edit a "save a project as" you omit the parts where you load the video(s) and mark the segments A and B. _{<- click}. Check what is saved and that is passed on when you call the project from the menu.
Another example what can be achieved: 2.6 audio track switching in job.py
some presets that can be set. In the GUI itself, nearly no presets are saved, except for those in the Preferences.

In contrast I want to start Avidemux with my individual customized preferences.

We all want/wait for this, it is not there, currently.
So again: Should do some stuff you want?
