Noticed a stange bug in 3.4.7.11, it was not there before. when i cut the video with option "should the cut's be added to join list > NO" ; it's not honoring it.

EDIT:

I think the video files contains chapters and it will honour if the chapters are removed before the cut. Can something be done along with chapters ?

Just tested; it works as aspected.
With NO, the cuts are done, but not added to the join list. With YES, they're added.

Can something be done along with chapters?

If you cut a video with chapters in 3 parts, the chapters are copied in all 3 cut chunks, but if you join them, the chapters are removed.
If you check the chapters checkbox at joining, new chaperts are written at the join timestamps.

add audio file, say NO, and on exit it will be added to the muxing list. It is happening since all the last betas and past version.

v3.4.7.11

Strange DVD-Rip behavior with a single VTS_01_1.VOB file:

When you start the app, click "Select Source File" select the only VOB file from your HD/SD folder such as VTS_01_1.VOB, you will see the "Possible DVD source" window. If you click Yes, the DVD-Rip page opens. If you click Rip, you will return to a Main page with deactivated options and the "Possible DVD source" window will reappear. If you click Yes, you will see a mixed page consisting of the DVD-Rip and Main pages!

DVD-Rip page NEW:

Main page with deactivated options:

When you click Main page you are back at the usual Main page. Good.
But when you open the same vob file again via "Select source file", you get the "Possible DVD source" window, when you click Yes the DVD-Rip page appear, this time with "Rip in progress...", but nothing happens.

DVD-Rip/Main page combination:

When you click on "Rip in progress..." you get the "Possible DVD source" window, when you click Yes, the DVD-Rip/Main page combination opens.

DVD-Rip page NEW:

Experienced users certainly don't do what as described. But beginners won't get anywhere with it.

Info window "Possible DVD source", proposal for a text amendment for improved readability:

This file could be part of a DVD movie.
Yes, rip the entire movie.
No, use only this file.

btw commandline...
I think it would be great if this could simply appear under all the main action buttons like Encode, Extract, Scan, Cut, etc.

There will be no further commandline support in clever.

Could you at least consider adding this simple way to copy the command line output? Unfortunately, the existing options are all time-consuming and have drawbacks.


[Attachment 89790 - Click to enlarge]

1. `<cmd_l>1</cmd_l>`
This shows a MessageBox for every action, but copying from it always includes extra text such as the window title and the OK/Cancel, etc.

2. `BT_open.tx`
This closes Clever and opens a text file, which interrupts the workflow and isn’t practical for quick command-line checks.

3. Batch tasks
This requires adding an action to the batch list even when you only want to view the command line. Returning to previous windows can reset some settings, interrupting the workflow, and the item must remain in Row 1 to display the correct command. This forces users to repeatedly clear and re-add items just to check another command. Even if other rows are added, the process remains inefficient—especially for users who don’t regularly work with batch tasks.

Right now, my workaround is to use a heavy process-monitoring tool or the Event Viewer to capture the command line. I’d really prefer not to rely on that, but it’s still faster than the built-in methods above.

A simple “mouse2 copy” function would solve all of this.

Most modern apps expose ffmpeg commands these days ..
Here is an example:

As I already said, there will be no further command line support.
I don't want users messing around with the command line.

v3.4.7.12 feedback

Thanks for the latest fixes and changes.
The fixes are working well so far.

Suggestion:
Could the "Process aborted" window appear only once, as long as the Video/Audio encoding page stay open?
Once you've read and clicked OK, you'll know what happens next time when you abort at this open page!

Minor text change idea:
Video encoding aborted.
The unfinished file will be deleted.

No, because this message and the unfinished file deletion are centralized.

The lossless crop "preview" is experiencing issues.
Just button cropping does not get displayed.
Just left cropping get displayed right.
Just right cropping get displayed at the button.

The source file is mkv.
All files processed with cropped metadata are displayed correctly. Only the lossless crop "preview" has problems.
