@IgorBeg Okay, Thnx |

Sam: “Point B. Unfortunately I did not understand this suggestion.” Sam, you are right. I always explain bad. I try to explain better my point B (that I don’t like). Let’s say that Menu-TRK is the menu with Attach_effect…..Match_output_size, and Menu-CLP is the menu with Clear_Select…..Overwrite_Plugins (and the red circle with cross when press the mouse button). 1) if the “Drag and Drop editing mode” is enabled: 1.1) RMB use the Menu-CLP 1.2) MMB use the Menu-TRK 2) if the “Cut and Paste editing mode” is enabled: 2.1) RMB use the Menu-TRK (as it is now) 2.2) MMB use the Menu-CLP (as it is now) So, you can enable the mode “Drag...” or “Cut...” with left mouse button and the RMB is contextual to the different mode. |

No problem, Igor, you can always give your honest opinion, I have nothing against it. Such discussions often lead to better results. Point A: I can live with this solution. I think the idea is really good, so users can choose how the right mouse button behaves. Point B: I don't understand exactly the reason why it should change automatically. Unfortunately I did not understand this suggestion. Point C: Why not make a reference to the other context menu in both context menus? It doesn't have to be a submenu, it can be a context menu switch. That would mean jumping to the other context menu. Then it is uniform. The MMB refers to the RMB and the RMB refers to the MMB. So every beginner can see there is another context menu. |

I understand that MMB is not a comfortable operation. Usually, in many CAD and 3D software, like AutoCAD, Blender, Rhinoceros, Solidworks, FreeCAD, the MMB is used to navigate in the 3D space. I understand you, Sam, but IMHO your suggestion is not a good idea, sorry. I try to explain why, by an objective point of view, I hope (nothing against you, of course). (I refer to the current menus) 1) all the options in the MMB menu have a shortcut; the options in RMB menu not. 2) to have a submenu in a complex menu like now MMB is, it is not efficient: focus on a submenu option is difficult. 3) the RMB menu is very similar at the original Cinelerra-HV-CV-CVE, so a user that want to try to use Cinelerra-GG is more comfortable, I think: him can find the old functions (where them were) and the new (reading the Manual). I would like to suggest three alternatives: A) to add a new option “Swap MMB with RMB on Timeline” in Preferences-> Flags so an user can choose. B) when in “Drag and drop editing mode” the MMB menu is swapped with RMB automatically. (I don’t like it, it is not coherent) C) the MMB menu is an option (become a submenu) of the RMB menu. Like Sam’s description but inverted. (I don’t like it, see point 2 above) As always, that is only my modest opinion. Thanks. |
