[FM Discuss] Yay on Audacity re-launch, and issues with Kdenlive manual images

[M R]

thanks Mick.  I can now see the published 2.x version at flossmanuals.net.


Perfectionist that I am, I did go in and make a few more wording changes to the Edit chapter (where it was entirely my own prose).  I have not re-published; I figure I'd let others tinker with their own contributed areas for a while longer and we can re-publish wherever.


Btw, I had been considering knocking out a new manual on ShutCut, an open-source video editor I've been using recently.  So I was exploring existing Floss books on video editing to determine if there was a real need.  The one manual I found that really focuses on a single video-editing tool uses Kdenlive, which is certainly a viable open-source alternative to ShotCut.  However, in looking thu the published Kdenlive manual, I notice that every image link seems to be broken!  Seriously, every single screenshot or other image.  When you go into edit mode, the images don't appear at all; but in published mode they display as missing images.  What might have caused this?  Did some process nuke or move the entire image library? (it appears to be totally empty).  I haven't found this issue with any other manuals I've reviewed yet, but I certainly haven't reviewed them all and am not really undertaking to at the moment.  Nor do I  really have time to spin up on Kdenlive such that I could replace all the missing images (even assuming I could figure out how to well enough from context).  If I was going to put that kind of effort in, I'd do it with Shotcut.


But I thought maybe you'd be aware of some simple behind-the-scenes operation that would restore all of the Kdenlive image files to their correct location.


Matt

I have done a custom pdf generation using the default settings on the server.
I'm pretty sure this can look a lot better but I don't have capacity to work on this so hoping that others in the community can work together on this one.


Thanks

thanks a lot, Rosalind -- I suspected that was the case.


So Mick, I think we might be clear to publish now, whenever you want to pull the trigger.


best,


Matt
