Assume I loaded a first video into Avidemux.
When I drag now a second video from WinExplorer onto it then the second video is appended at the end of the first.
How can change this default action?
In the future a drag should REPLACE the current video.
I don't want to manually have to close the first.
This should take place automatically (auto-close).
other users want the append option ;)
Apply the following patch and rebuild Avidemux:
diff --git a/avidemux/qt4/ADM_userInterfaces/ADM_gui/Q_gui2.cpp b/avidemux/qt4/ADM_userInterfaces/ADM_gui/Q_gui2.cpp

No, I don't agree. Ctrl+W is handy to close a video, no need to break useful functionality for that.

I disagree, I find this append function very useful. In addition your suggestion makes it likely that quite a bit of editing could be lost, if work on one file is closed, by dragging a file in accidently.
Hi,

Hey: not at all. Append-by-default is VERY useful! I'm voting to keep this feature as is;
+ hitting Ctrl+W is not exactly difficult.
But (of course), it depends on one's main use of ADM.
MAY BE, instead of recompiling,
could a new 'Preference' be added, to disable 'auto-append' when needed?.

This is not what auto-append means. And no, no new preference for an anti-feature which makes zero sense. EOD, please.
