New "Save AVS" window ?

[tHe gLouCh]

We talked about it with Len0x: a new "Save AVS" window with the possibility to save your settings for scripts.

You can look at screenshots here:

Please report any suggestion...

Hi-

Looks real nice, tHe gLouCh. Is it possible to, or do you see an advantage to, save the .avs without the unused (commented out) lines? It's easier to read and understand that way, for me anyway. Is it possible to, or do you see an advantage to, rearrange the order of the filters? Examples might be putting the VobSub line after the Resize, placing IVTC after the Crop, or putting the denoising filters before the Resize. If you edit the .avs to do some of these things, will it also be saved that way?

And it looks like it's possible to add filters not already included with GKnot, is that right?

looks wonderful, great job! :D

I am eager to have 0.29 final, loving the alphas :)

Looks very nice, more "functionnal" Great Job
(even if I liked a "global view" -> less clicks, I'm lazy)

What about Trim: 2 choices are missing?

It's quite nice layout indeed. We're planning to have this advanced save avs window as an option (classic save avs will still be there for those who doesn't know avs stuff that much).

If you edit the .avs to do some of these things, will it also be saved that way?No, it works only in one way: GKnot to AVS.
And it looks like it's possible to add filters not already included with GKnot, is that right? Yes. Look at the "Filter" windows.

Well, we must discuss this, but I am not sure the old window is necessary (more code to update, etc...).
I have added a Combo box with pre-defined settings for "newbies" or lazy guys: you just have to choose between 3 options (Little, Medium and High noise), BUT we can add many more predefined sets.

The rest of the new window is approximativly the same as the old except for the Tabs.

sure, but just think about ppl who are running GK for the first time :) Do we really wanna show all those tabs? having a check box on the first tab saying show advanced setting whould help here. But first tab should look pretty simple for a total newbie (simple than Save avs window looks now)

P.S. I'm also worried about transition stage - I'm using 0.29 alpha on a daily basis (2-3 encodes a day) and when you put new window there is a chance it'll buggy for a while (not bad thing, just development process), so it still might be a good idea to use old window as an option until new window is totally OK...

this screenshot shows a feature to edit filter parameters. May I ask how this feature is implemented? We are offering developers who work on AviSynth related tools to use our xml filter descriptions and are looking for contributers to improve these descriptions. Currently the xml filter description are in use by DVX and AviSynthEditor

I did it from nothing. But if I can contribute...

[tHe gLouCh]

I have changed many things (visual & intern.).
See http://members.fortunecity.com/bdreve/gk/saveavs.htm

The "Prepare" tab has only the minimum options before encoding (?).
Maybe I could move the "Noise Filter" & "Subtitles" to another tab ?
Maybe grouping those items with "Field operations" in a new tab: "Prepare (advanced options)" ?

PS: the Memos comments are from Doom9 guide.

looking very good, I got wood over here, erm, I never said that :scared:

[idanm19]

maybe add "save as default" button that ... saves the current options by default..
for instance I also make the trim for both, so it would be nice if it's be a default...
you said something about pre-defined settings, so if it's already in the pre-defined you may add an option to make a one as a default.

what about the subtitles cutting (for 2+ cd's rips)? can you make this fully automated now, so there will be an option to load the subtitles files (idx/sub) and it will be cut and rared automaticly after the movie is done ?

Very good job ^^

0.29 will be the best Gui for sure :-)

I see unified XML description is appealing to all of us, but I'm not convinced that it's the way to go for GK. My concern is:

a) we'd like to be able to modify filter descriptions from version to version without alerting the user that format is changed (i.e. all the filters descriptions that come with GK should be always valid, but no guarantee on external ones can be made)

b) we'd like to be able to have GK specific info in the filter description (probably Delphi/GUI related). This will be of no use to other tools

c) in case format is changed by other tools we don't want to be obliged to quickly do that as well.

So in fact we can support your format by converting it to ours, but not vice versa.

P.S. All this is my preliminary opinion on the topic, nothing is decided yet...

In addition to Len0x quote, an example:

I need to know if the filter is using a .dll or not (ie: temporalsoften). So first change I have made is to add this info on the .xml file.
