Please save selection!

Working with big projects with lots of clips it’s not nice to lose your selection for no reasno!

What do you mean by “lose your selection”?

yea when you restart shotcut, or it crashes, you dont have the same clips in the timeline selected. it’s a minor annoyance. also if it was implemented, it you could edit the project xml file by hand or a tool very easily to select clips.

Are you suggesting that when you select a specific clip on the timeline stay selected when you save/restart?

Just be clear, currently Shotcut doesn’t have any clip(s), nor track(s), nor Output/Master selected when you restart.

If you want to remember where you left off for large projects, I suggest taking a screenshot of your entire Shotcut, this way you can also retain which filter you was working on, as it will not remember which filter you was working with (if you had more than 1 filter for that clip).

Also currently, (even without closing/restarting) if you switch between tracks/clips it will always select the top most filter in the list.
