Bug: Cannot find menu "File--->Joblist" - How to add jobs to joblist othwise?

[thoste]

After loading a *.mp4 video into (portable) Avidemux v2.8.2 on Windows10 I setup all parameters "as usual" and clicked then menu file--->queue to add the job to joblist. I guess "Queue" means "Add to joblist" because there is no menu "File--->Add to joblist"

According to https://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=using:joblist
I can view the current joblist by clicking on menu

File--->joblist

But there is no such menu (have a look at the attached snapshot).

However I started the other program avidemux_jobs.exe from Avidemux installation directory and though the job would be listed there.

But there is no job here. the list is empty.

Why is no job created and added to joblist?
How can I view joblist otherwise?

If I don't assign the current encoding to joblist but just click File--->Save the video is encoded successfully.

But I want to setup multiple video encodings and then perform one run for all.
How can I achieve this otherwise?

One more idea: The job files *.py are  created but not in the default directory C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\avidemux\
but in the new directory

D:\tools\Avidemux\settings\jobs\

since I setup a portable Avidemux installation. So I guess Avidemux_portable.exe and avidemux_jobs.exe do not know where to search for the *.py job files.
Any chance to tell them the folder?

Something like a command line parameter

avidemus_jobs.exe -dir="D:\tools\Avidemux\settings\jobs\"

?

Or entering the jobs folder path somewhere else in settings?

If not: This option should be added to next release

Please ignore Avidemux Wiki alltogether. It is hopelessly outdated.

Works as intended.

This bug was fixed on February 11, your Avidemux build is too old.
