I will not be addressing all of these before the next beta (tomorrow), but some I will address during the beta period.
- I think this is a Qt bug for which I have not found a fix or workaround. It is annoying but not completely broken.
- This is simply not implemented, and I am not sure it should. It is very similar to someone’s report about View > Layout not showing a checkmark. These are not really sticky items. Shotcut applies the saved values, but you can quickly and easily deviate from the saved values. Then, it is not accurate to say this preset or layout is currently being used. One way to do this is to mark the layout or preset as current and then clear it as soon as something is changed. But that is actually a lot of code to add that will lead to more bugs (something changed but state not cleared) that does not add a lot of value IMO.
- Merging is known buggy and the menu item was supposed to be always be hidden since v18.07, but actually it was not. I am going to hide it.
