right now its not possible to zoom out of the timeline far enough.
this is needed to be able to add new clips at the end of the timeline.
right now one can only drag a new clip over and existing one and later move it to the end.

i would favor adding a certain amount of "padding" at the end of the timeline to allow for this. Instead of setting the width of the timeline to the exact duration, we set the timeline to the duration plus a few seconds. This would give users a place to drop new clips.

It's worth noting, however, that you can always append clips to the end of the timeline with the "insert" key.

    Add some padding at the end of the timeline. Fixes #576576.

The fix seems to be incorrect, now it creates a weird behavior. Try zooming in enough so that you have a horizontal timeline scrollbar, then compare:
- dragging from the source list to the beginning of the timeline
- dragging from the source list to the end of the timeline

In the second scenario, the dragged clip will be positionned 60 seconds to the left of the mouse cursor, which makes it impossible to position it correctly.

I can see the bug, but I can reproduce it even without my fix.
Comment 5 Alessandro Decina 2009-09-03 12:27:18 UTC
It's now fixed btw.

    Take into account the horizontal adjustment position when dropping clips on 
the timeline.
