This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing vcs 1.12.2.

1.12.2 might be skipped and its items pushed back to 1.13.

Bugfixes from the 1.13 branch should be backported to 1.12, since 1.13 will need a lot of testing.

A great utilty... I’ve been using this for a couple of years now (it runs every night as a cron job).

I’ve been looking at cleaning up the output that cron captures from each of its commands and stores as a system email.

I’ve enabled the -Wc option to prevent coloured output. Mostly this works except near the start of the script when it says:
Settings from /home/danc/.vcs/vcs.conf:
bg_heading
This is still shown in green. Bug?

Currently the colour only stops after the option is found.

Here’s a patch against 1.13.2 for mistaken approximate size calculation.

Self-notes about the patch:

• More accurate rounding → Discarded. I went for rounding by excess
• Leading 0 in fractionary units was not present in the original → BUG
  Sample: Samsung HD sample, 1080pto720p version

Guidelines for the PKGBUILD script have changed.

Submitted updated PKGBUILD.

Currently the extended set always contains the standard captures. It might be nice to add some time-shift to them so that they’re different.

Complete manpage.

The function that vcs.conf in current dir accomplished is covered by profiles. If wanted it can still be manually loaded with -C :pwd or -C vcs.conf

The filmstrip mode has had a placeholder implementation since the start, it should look closer to an actual film strip.

Safe length measuring, when probing the video length, prints only the number of seconds and milliseconds, it would be better to display a more readable format.
