--- Comment #1 from Gabriel Gazzán <gabcor...@gmail.com> --- Regarding the "Open Document" and "Save As" buttons, well... I was wrong with respect to the extent of what they do (they not only save template titles, but just normal "external" titles). Still, perhaps it would be clearer to the user, if they just say "Open Title" and "Save Title As". (Then, those titles would be seen by the program as templates or not, depending on where they are saved). While at it, I've seen an unexpected behavior when loading external titles that have a '%s' code in them. I'll try to describe it the best I can: - Save a title file with the titler's "Save As" button, in any folder. (the title contains a text field with a '%s' code) - Start a new project. - Load the title file using "Add Clip or Folder" into the Project Bin. - In the Clip Properties widget, type a text to replace the '%s' code in the title. - Edit the title clip by double clicking on it or with "Edit Clip" option. Add something to it. - Click on the "Update Title" button in the Titler. - The warning dialog opens, asking whether to overwrite the external file or only change the title locally. Choose change the local title. - Now the title in the project should be detached from the external file (it is). But... a. in the Clip Properties widget the text field still shows. b. when you double click to edit the (now local) title, in the Titler workspace the text code '%s' still shows, instead of the text that the local title is using. ... If you save the project and reopen it. - Now the Clip Properties widget for that title does not show the text field (expected behavior), but... a. the title still shows the local-typed text in the Monitors b. if you edit it, inside the Titler workspace the '%s' code is still there (but now, there's no way for the user to control/change the text that replaces it). So, it seems something should be done to make it work in an predictable fashion. I guess the ideal thing would be for the local text to be shown in the titler, instead of the '%s' code. But, at least (if the first choice proves hard to be implemented), it'd be understandable if once the title is detached from the external file, the locally typed text is no longer shown in the title at all. (That will require the user to Edit the title and manually retype the desired text inside the Titler, but at least the behavior would not be an unexpected one). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
