transcriptions - issue #20

Settings not remembered on relaunch


Posted on Oct 26, 2008 by Quick Rabbit

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Quitting normally and relaunching.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would like Transcriptions to preserve all my settings (e.g., window placement and size, column size and arrangement) after quitting. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The window must be re-expanded, and the columns -- for example, I like to expand the text column so that it takes up 90% of the screen and expand the text text substitutions to hide the video block -- must all be dragged back into place. (See attached screenshot for an idea.)

A bonus would be to have Transcriptions automatically load the last AV clip used. As it stands now, I have to reopen the document and then reopen the clip separately, which often means hunting through folders and files to relocate it. Perhaps there's a way to link a text document with a specific AV file, or a shortcut section with recently opened files?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

v .81; OS X 10.5.5 with all updates.

Please provide any additional information below.

No additional info, just a word of thanks for offering this app. It's made transcribing, something I absolutely dread, much easier.
