Ring Light and HDR Sketch Scanning
I don’t know how many sketchers there are out there, but I thought this might interest some photographers and imaging geeks. A while ago, I posted this question on Ask MetaFilter: Why do flatbed scanners seem to have so little dynamic range for sketches? I draw for fun, usually with a 0.5mm mechanical pencil. I…

Desktop in the Shell
I once wrote a nice rant about the inadequacy of the desktop metaphor. In the light of the upcoming GNOME 3, the more document-centric Shell and the browser-mode nautilus (instead of spatial mode), I wanted to remix my thoughts a bit. Note: I am not a developer and I am not on the Shell or…

Previewer in the file chooser
Well hello there. I haven’t blogged much about PiTiVi lately, since I hadn’t kept up with the project’s happenings for a month or so. My PiTiVi bug mail folder was getting out of hand, so did some triaging today and discovered some gems. Namely, “Pier Carteri” has been hard at work, tackling two of the items on…

Burnt by disc burning
I’ve been happily using various pieces of software over the last five years (especially nautilus-cd-burner and K3B) to burn ISO images, create data DVDs, etc. I’ve come to rely on that kind of stuff to work and keep working. Not in Ubuntu 10.04. For some reason, I have been unable to burn a single data DVD…

Hello, PiTiVi happenings, Sintel

Are you a student looking for a fantastic experience in improving a great open source video editor project? This year again, GStreamer has been accepted as a mentoring organization in the Google Summer of Code, and oversees project applications to make PiTiVi kick ass. Student applications are now open, and the application deadline is April…

Icon view in the Source List
Stephen “lostcookie” Griffiths recently started coding on PiTiVi, learning the codebase as he works through the PiTiVi Love list. He has done awesome work on the source list to implement an “icon view” mode and has managed to somehow not become insane while I pointed out all his mistakes and bugs 🙂 The icon view…

More bug triaging
I have requested additional super cow powers on GNOME bugzilla to be able to do some serious bug triaging in PiTiVi’s bug list. I have Touched approximately 70 bugs or more today (out of ~230 initially), spending approximately 5.5 hours doing bug triaging and hunting (according to hamster) Confirmed many unconfirmed bugs Updated target milestones…

Single channel waveforms
Brandon committed a one-liner fix for bug 607614 today. Indeed, until now, if you inserted a 6-channels (5.1) clip into the timeline, you ended up with nonsense like this (as some called it, “corduroy waveforms”): This has been solved, and it now looks like this:

Move playhead on click, modeless splitting, full-height playhead
This week, Brandon has been doing great work in polishing little bits of PiTiVi’s timeline workflow. Indeed, he has made a second attempt at implementing my “move playhead on click” paradigm, and merged his changes into PiTiVi’s master development branch. A side effect of this is that we now have “modeless splitting” (ie: splitting is…
