GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 583243
metadata and thumbnail information for missing media dialog
Last modified: 2015-10-20 13:03:43 UTC
In the case where the user did not simply move the path where media files are contained, but actually renamed the files, we could have a more useful UI. Currently, it says "please locate the file, 'file:///some/path/15.mov", which is not helpful if the file was renamed. It only gives you an idea of where the file was previously located and how it was named. It would be really nice and helpful to - show the duration and filesize of the clip - show the thumbnail of that file (if possible; if that was stored in the project file, eventually)
Fixed this in bug_583243 branch on my repository. I would like someone to review this before I merge it, however, as it involves changes to the formatter/project_manager API.
Alessandro, could you review this ? I'm on holiday currenty :(
it seems to depend on another branch (keyframe percentages) that i also reviewed yesterday and which needs at least a fix before being merged. I'll re-review this once that gets merged.
Ping? Surely the dependencies have been merged in the past year, maybe this can be reviewed again.
commit 5b9f1e67c921977193edde617fbc1b25d4007ba9 Author: Jean-François Fortin Tam <nekohayo@gmail.com> Date: Wed Apr 4 00:05:29 2012 -0400 If available, show thumbnails for missing files to help the user This depends on the availability of orphan thumbnail files. Partially fixes bug #583243. However, it's still missing the ability to save and retrieve metadata as described above. There's a FIXME and TODO for it in mainwindow.py.
