Yes, all I I would be doing is adding a konq view directly into Kdenlive, splitting the project list in half so that you can see the file view and the project view at the same time.

I was thinking of having a "transitions and Effects" tag, for instance, which would allow you to setup and drag'n'drop effects onto clips on the timeline. I'm not sure if there is any advantage to having a seperate "trim clip" dialog, but I was going to follow how Premier does things here - if you drag a clip directly to the timeline, you get the whole clip but can trim it there by resizing it. If you drag a clip from the file view to the monitor, (this functionality hasn't been added yet), then you can set in and out points on the monitor, and drag the cut-down clip to the timeline. > Konqi doesn't show the first frame of the flic as a preview.

Well... not a high priority important right now ;-) I think that other people are already working on adding movie thumbnail support to konqueror, it might be worth asking on the kde-devel to find out though. > BTW.

Hmmm, cheers I don't think I have ever tried quitting using the file menu before :-) -- Jason Wood Homepage : www.uchian.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
