Re: [Bug 499860] Re: Timeline too fat

 

Sure, xml.etree.ElementTree should be fine.  The settings are in more
than just the clip.py file.  Here is a list off the top of my head:

MainGTK.glade: heights and widths of scrolled-windows (used as the
container for the ruler, timeline, and track titles.
MainGTK.py: heights and widths of the goocanvas objects, used to draw everything
Sequences.py: code to draw the ruler
Track.py: code to draw the track backgrounds and track titles
Clip.py: code to render a clip
Transition.py: code to render a transition

Thanks,
-Jonathan

Hi!

I must say that Timeline in Openshot is really nice. But I think that is too fat. To much space between timelines, too fat  time ruler.

I would be very helpful, if there would be more thumbnails for each clip - user could see which part of clip is where
