Olive: [Feature Request] Automatically Import Image Into Project After Using "Save Frame As Image"

[emma-15]

The title says it all...

[sobotka]

Seems a bit wonky, no? I can’t imagine having auto import after an export terribly wise design?

[DaniSeeh]

Yeah... Why? If you are trying to export a still frame, why do you want that frame clogging your project pane?

[itsmattkc]

I think this would be fine, I imagine the mechanism would be the same as recording audio in the timeline

[Nordy13]

I Like the idea. That would be great with a screenshot icon as well.

[sobotka]

I can’t lie... this strikes me as bonkers. I simply don’t understand why on earth you would be integrating a “screenshot” (already sort of bonkers given the OS handles this) into a project.

Imagine cutting a short film and screaming out “I absolutely need a screenshot of this inserted automatically into the timeline!!1!1” It is bananas.

Obviously this would be for static frames. Would it not be better to do this with clip speed value?

Actually, I meant project pane, not timeline.

It's just something windows movie maker could do and olive can't

(even though windows movie maker automatically imports the image into the timeline instead of project pane because windows movie maker has no project pane)

[sobotka]

Sounds like a terrific thing to do in Windows Movie Maker, then. ;)

[frink]

I'm trying to understand the use case as well... How would this be useful?

What would someone use this auto-import thingy for...?

[Fatih20]

I think instead of doing this, the dev should add a feature "Save image to the project".

[sobotka]

This is ridiculous.
