I keep my .kdenlive projects in git, meaning I get diffs of changes. I notice that when I add effects to clips, the properties in the MLT XML often jump around.
As an example: When I add a GPU effects > Pan and Zoom effect and then change the pan, I'll see diffs like this: + <property name="audio_index">1</property> + <property name="video_index">0</property> + <property name="mute_on_pause">1</property> + <property name="mlt_service">avformat-novalidate</property> <property name="meta.media.nb_streams">2</property> <property name="meta.media.0.stream.type">video</property> <property name="meta.media.0.stream.frame_rate">24</property> [...] <property name="meta.media.sample_aspect_num">1</property> <property name="meta.media.sample_aspect_den">1</property> <property name="aspect_ratio">1</property> - <property name="audio_index">1</property> - <property name="video_index">0</property> - <property name="mute_on_pause">1</property> - <property name="mlt_service">avformat-novalidate</property> The properties are exactly the same, they've just jumped to a different place in the XML (a place that's not semantically significant afaik - the ellipses above just skip other properties). The same happens with Motion > Speed and a few others I've tried. To reduce diff noise it would be nice to prevent jumps like these - is that easy to fix? Thanks! Tom
