Avidemux Forum

Hi all,

please would it be possible to add the progressbar on windows taskbar, it worked on older avidemux versions, but in 2.8.2 it is missing again, and its frustrating to see just black instead of progress

Wäre es bitte möglich, den Fortschrittsbalken in der Windows Taskbar in Avidemux 2.8.2 wiederherzustellen, es hat in älteren Versionen funktioniert.

Could it be done just like here maybe: https://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,16490.msg72924.html

Thanks very much for your help

Unfortunately, Qt has removed this functionality (QWinTaskbarButton class and friends) in Qt6 without replacement. Our bug is just that QT_HAS_WINEXTRA is never defined, even if we build against Qt5 with the required QtWinExtras module present.

As Avidemux has switched to Qt6 for Windows as well, this nice feature has been lost.

What a pity, thats bad news.

Oh well, hopefully oneday someone will bring the progressbar back somehow.

Thank you for the explanation eumagga

If you fancy cross-compiling Avidemux for Windows from the latest git master yourself, the resulting Qt5 build should have the progress indicator on taskbar button again (the relevant definition is now set).

You need Linux (preferably Fedora or latest Debian stable) installed (a VM should suffice) with at least 8 GiB of available memory and 16 GiB free storage for that. The howto is in parts (especially regarding description of applied MXE patches) outdated, but mainly valid.

An official Qt5 Windows version would be great. Why switch when it brings downgrade in features and also in supported platforms...

Sorry, but I'm not good in this stuff, thats chinese to me, i can work with avidemux but not build my own avidemx
And i have no Linux, or VM, anyway
