Can not create new Folder in Presets>New Folder
Handbrake 1.0 from stebbins repository
Ubuntu 16.04.1
PROBLEM: As the title says. All I get is an indented entry but not something I can add my custom presets to.

Re: Can not create new Folder in Presets>New Folder
Once you've created a new folder, you should be able to drag new presets on top of it and drop them in. But there seems to be some glitchiness to drag-and-drop right now. Dragging folders doesn't work as it should, so if you drag something and it doesn't go where you wanted it, or it disappears from the list entirely, stop and restart the GUI and try again.
I'll look into the drag-and-drop issues and get a fix into the nightly builds soon.

Preset drag-and-drop should be fixed in the next nightly build.
Re: Can not create new Folder in Presets>New Folder
Thanks John.
My handbrake upgrade came from your Ubuntu 16.04 ppa.
How can I download the 'next nightly build' without destabilise or undoing version 1.0 ppa?? Won't changing repositories prevent me from reverting to the stable release ppa without losing the fix?
Many thanks.

Re: Can not create new Folder in Presets>New Folder
There haven't been many other changes since the release, just switch to the nightly ppa and install.
Re: Can not create new Folder in Presets>New Folder
Thanks mduell.
Please excuse my ignorance.
Does this mean every new nightly build will be downloaded on my computer or can I just get this one to solve my problem and then not only stable updates?

Re: Can not create new Folder in Presets>New Folder
IDK I don't use Linux, but I think you'll stay on the current nightly until you choose to update. When the next release with this fix comes out you can go back to the release channel.

I'll get the next nightly.

Re: Can not create new Folder in Presets>New Folder
We plan more bug fix releases in the near future. So if you would rather wait for that you can. Or just switch back to the release PPA after the next bug fix release.
Re: Can not create new Folder in Presets>New Folder
Thanks very much John.
Handbrake nightly updated this morning to 20161230174808-f742b15-master (x86_64) and it wasn't in that. As soon as it updates with the fix I'll do as you suggest and revert to the release PPA.
I have read the notes on nightly releases but there is always the warning about instability.
I don't know if the nightly releases are bug fixes (good) or 'let's see if we can beta test this feature' (not so good for me).
I really appreciate your help and all the effort you put into Handbrake.
Happy New Year

Re: Can not create new Folder in Presets>New Folder
They're a mix of both in general, but since the 1.0 release it's just been bugfixes not new beta features.
Re: Can not create new Folder in Presets>New Folder
Just updated to 20170101053131-3f1f617-master (x86_64) and Create New Folder is not working.Preset drag-and-drop should be fixed in the next nightly build.
This is the file of the entry that appeared as if it was a preset:
Code: Select all
{
"PresetList": [
{
"ChildrenArray": [],
"Folder": true,
"PresetDescription": "My H256 Presets",
"PresetName": "Custom",
"Type": 1
}
],
"VersionMajor": 23,
"VersionMicro": 0,
"VersionMinor": 0
}
but it is not a folder.
Does this mean the fix is not working or has not made it to the nightly release?
