Title: Auto Shutdown Weirdness
Post by: Treeant34 on November 18, 2016, 12:38:30 AM
I am running version 2.6 on Lubuntu 14.04

When I try to tick off the selection box for "shutdown when encoding is completed", I get a dialog popup saying root permissions are required but there is no dialog box presented to input the root password.

Do I have to run Avidemux as root?

How does one do that should that be the case?

Thx

The function DIA_encodingQt4::shutdownChanged in https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/blob/master/avidemux/qt4/ADM_userInterfaces/ADM_dialog/Q_encoding.cpp#L76L (https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/blob/master/avidemux/qt4/ADM_userInterfaces/ADM_dialog/Q_encoding.cpp#L76L) assumes exactly that. Let's pretend this feature doesn't exist.
