Hi,
yes, as I wrote above this will be part of a future enhancement. A setting will be put in the global preferences to persist the value.

Re: drawing will stay visible (3 replies, posted in Bug reports)
In the drawing's configuration, setting the number of frames to persist to "1" and disabling persistence should have the same effect.
This is why the slider in the main preference setting is starting at "2" (and I would say it's the one in the local settings that is buggy for being able to go down to 1 frame.)
Now the extra limitation of not being able to display the drawings while playing is a remnant from the time where persistence / fading did not exist. The idea was that being visible on a single frame wasn't going to be noticeable anyway.
This limitation may be removed in a future version.

Re: drawing will stay visible (3 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Hi,
Right click on the drawing > Persistence… > uncheck "Enable Persistence".
It can also be a global setting if you dont want the fading effect for any of the drawings. In that case you disable Persistence altogether from the Drawings tab in the Options > Preferences…

Re: Memory Leak in PlayerServer with deinterlace .MOD (4 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Ok, thanks.
I could find the issue and it should be fixed in next version.
The buffer holding the deinterlaced picture was never released 
However I discovered an new problem with some very specific videos and the new force aspect ratio function.
I'll try to re-air a version next week or so if I can fix this too.

Re: Memory Leak in PlayerServer with deinterlace .MOD (4 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Hi,
Thanks for the report.
Are you using the 0.7.10 version or one of the more recent experimental 0.8.x ?
Also, I think it might be related to a specific kind of .MOD files. Can you provide some more details about the origin of the files ?
(created m147 to track this)
Thanks

Re: Crash at startup (20 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Hi,
There was an issue with the way the program was translating from the culture name ("en-US", "fr-CA", "pt-BR", etc.) to the internal representation of the language used for the interface, which is close to the neutral name ("en", "fr", "pt").
Norvegian is a special case ("nb-NO" -> "no", not "nb" 
) and the initialization failed.
The bottom line is that I found the issue and it should be corrected in next version.
I'm very grateful that you reported this because I think it was preventing virtually everyone with Norvegian locale to use the software ! 
This does not explain issues with the download however.
I'll look into the server's stats tomorow to see if I can detect something wrong.

Re: Crash at startup (20 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Thank you, I'll investigate this. (and learning a few things about Bokmål along the way.)
Hopefully I can find the issue without installing a Norvegian system

Re: Crash at startup (20 replies, posted in Bug reports)
@tommped:
The \Roaming folder is a system folder, it is not created by Kinovea and should exist on your machine.
However it may be hidden.
I don't have a machine at hand to give you the exact steps, but you might need to change the options of the Windows Explorer so it displays hidden folders. See this article.
@RazeTiger:
Yes, the icon on desktop was removed at some point. If I remember correctly it was to follow some user experience guidelines from Microsoft. Maybe it should be reinstated.
Can you access the application data folder where the "unhandled crash" log live ?
I think that if the archive is corrupted somehow, it wouldn't install, so if it installed correctly, it should run unless there is another bug. In this case the "unhandled crash" log should have more data about it.

Re: commenting live feeds (1 replies, posted in General)
Hi,
Currently, no.
There is a "capture" feature in the works (although it's development is sort of paused for now) but it has not been designed to do what you describe, the focus was more on being able to browse the recent history of the stream.
The intended use was to let a performer review his performance just after it has been recorded.
To that end, the "key images" area was reused to list the individual records recently saved, and the drawing tools were made to draw persistently on the screen to act as reference frames during the action.
If I understand correctly, your usage would be more about recording a longer video, say a tennis match, and be able to create the analysis while the camcorder is streaming to the laptop.
I guess this falls under the "tools for longer videos" family and will probably require again a new screen type or at least a graft to the non-completed one.
I'm afraid to say that currently it's not a priority, but I'll add this to the suggestion list and I encourage any one to have a say about it here.
Also, maybe that is a suggestion that would interest the LongoMatch project as they are working on longer video analysis.
Thanks

Re: Crash at startup (20 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Hi, please check the new pinned topic what to do in case of a crash and let me know if it's clear enough.
(The instructions are valid for 0.8.2 only.)
Basically from "Help > Open log folder"
edit:
Ok, obviously I haven't thought this through 
You will find it under the following location in XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\Kinovea
And under Vista or 7:
C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Kinovea

Topic: Experimental version - 0.8.2 (0 replies, posted in General)
Reminder:
"Experimental" versions are available on the forum.
The goal of this is that you can test and comment on new features while they are being built.
So it's your turn to play now, and report bugs and usability suggestions .
The installer is available here: newer 0.8.3 available.
You will find the complete list of new features and improvements in the "readme.txt" in the installation folder.
Among other:
- Display mode for Paths (previously named Trajectories) where only a section is shown (for long paths).
- Option to force 16:9 or 4:3 image format if automatic detection fails.
- Some enhancements to the navigation when synchronizing.
Note: I couldn't test the installer on Win7 nor Vista, please report any issue.
Capture module development is currently on hold.
For general comments and suggestions : post in this thread.
For bugs, you can directly feed the bug tracker : http://www.kinovea.org/bugs

Topic: Version expérimentale - 0.8.2 (0 replies, posted in Français)
Les versions « expérimentales » sont disponibles publiquement sur le forum.
Le but de la manœvre est que vous puissiez tester et commenter les nouveautés alors même qu'elles sont en cours de construction.
Donc à vous de jouer le jeu et de remonter les bugs trouvés et des suggestions d'ergonomie
L'installeur est disponible ici : Voir nouvelle version 0.8.3.
Vous trouverez la liste complète des nouveautés (et correctifs) dans le fichier readme.txt du dossier d'installation.
Entre autres:
- Mode d'affichage de trajectoire en section réduite (pour les longues trajectoires).
- Possibilité de forcer le format d'image 4:3 ou 16:9 si la détection automatique échoue.
- Améliorations au niveau de la navigation lors de la synchronisation de deux vidéos.
Note : je n'ai pas pu tester l'installation sous Windows 7 (ni Vista), merci de remonter tout problème.
Le développement du module de capture est pour l'instant en pause.
Commentaires généraux et suggestions : dans la suite de ce sujet.
Pour les bugs, vous pouvez aussi directement alimenter le bug tracker : http://www.kinovea.org/bugs

Re: Videoanalyse (3 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Ik schrijf in het Engels, ik hoop dat je kunt vertalen.
Hello,
So, you record TV directly to DVD and then reopen the VOB file in Kinovea. Unfortunately, the duration of the movie seen by Kinovea is shorter than what you have recorded.
I have experienced this aswell with a commercial DVD, and someone opened bug m142 which I think is related.
I'll look into it further…
In the meantime, you can try to convert to another file format, I generally use HandBrake for this, but other converters should work. Output format might be AVI or MKV (for example in HandBrake, using the "film" preset), or others, if it can read all the input there shouldn't be any issue.
However this is a lenghty process so it's not a satisfying solution, I hope I can understand what the problem is.
Is it systematic or happens only sometimes ?
What if you record a very small sample of 2 or 3 seconds, does it work or not ?

Re: View 16:9 and 4:3 (9 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Hi,
As I wrote in the bug tracker:
The program is not getting the Aspect Ratio information for any of the videos, so it assumes square pixels.
The HD video is 1280×720 which is indeed 16:9 in square pixels.
The SD video however is 720×576 (standard DV) which is 5:4 in square pixels and this is why it looks stretched.
Currently I don't have the time to track down the issue around the ffmpeg library, especially considering I'm not using the very latest version of the library (for a regression reason unrelated to this issue).
As a workaround, I have implemented a suggestion that was made earlier (I think it was Giorgio) to be able to manually force the aspect ratio.
So, in version 0.8.2 there will be a new menu under Image > Image Format with the following options : Auto Detection, Force 4:3, Force 16:9.
In a future revision I'll also add a "Default Image Format" in the General Preferences so the setting can be persistent between videos.
