"Export frame" exports at proxy quality

Windows 10, Shotcut 21.03.21

I think that’s a very straightforward minor bug (with an easy workaround involving F4!), but if I can provide further info to help diganoise it, please ask.

Thanks

Do you want to proceed anyway? And of course, a choice of “Do not show this anymore” on the b…

Ah, thanks. scurries to upgrade

This does seem like a stopgap rather than a real solution, which surely should be that the export is at full quality even when in proxy mode? I appreciate that this might be rather low priority though!

Correct. High effort and low priority. So we have the stop-gap to help people out in the meantime.

Understood!

In case there is time, I should like this repair too.
