This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing nettype 1.5.2.

This is a bugfix-only release.

Previous:  FS#353  (1.5.1),  FS#215  (1.5),  FS#252  (1.4),  FS#203  (1.3)
Next: FS#329 (1.6)

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.

mplayer: FPS1

i.e.:
ID_VIDEO_CODEC=fffraps
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=FPS1

ffmpeg: fraps

i.e.:
Stream #0.0: Video: fraps, yuvj420p, 1680x1050, 30 fps, 30 tbr, 30 tbn, 30 tbc

As found in mtn.

Try to avoid capturing mostly-blank frames.

Version 1.12.3 breaks on FreeBSD due to the usage of GNU-specific extensions of expr, sed and an incompatible Bash RE.

As reported by Dirk Reiners (paraphrased)

When steps get too small they might round to 0 ⇒ infinite loop in compute_timecodes.

At least on some systems, the console/terminal needs a manual reset (or tset) to be usable after running vcs.

When repeated captures are avoided, captures end up being filtered more than once

Suggested by Adjel and Vel

Add a possibility to change icons, possibly customise them with themes

When a timestamp is present in more than one set (highlights/std/extended) there’s no need to re-capture it.

No need for description

Bash 2 syntax has been the norm for most versions (although broken in some).

So far none of the major distributions is using bash 2, bash 4 is already gold but not widely-used enough.

Only a few special purpose/minimal distros like DSL retain bash 2.05b, but vcs requires recent versions of ImageMagick, Mplayer and FFmpeg anyway. I can’t see a reason to retain such backwards compatibility.

Internal: Stale code from prior versions, numsecs inside process() uses mplayer’s value instead of the best value to determine video length (and keep or discard timestamps).

As a side-effect, newer code being more strict about array vs string handling can fail easily.

Parsing of the “-U” option (optional argument) is incorrect, it always receives an argument (empty if none provided) which must be shifted manually. Currently it’s only shifted if provided explicitly.

“–fullname” is not affected since it doesn’t take any arguments.

Configuration options that will trigger a change of all fonts, background and foreground settings respectively

font_filename is ignored in 1.12

An alternative in the form of (boolean) nonlatin_filenames or similar should be added.
