Feature suggestion with vtx files
Posted: 04 Jan 2021, 05:55
Hello,
i rather randomly discovered just now a hidden feature of .vtx files - when you move them into a different folder than the original video file you can still play the video by double clicking on the thumbnail because the full path is stored within the vtx file!
That is actually pretty sweet as allows me to keep vtx files separate from the mp4 on a different drive (the drive with some of my movies isn't always mounted on the computer), however I have a couple suggestions:
- in Videonizer, could you add the ability to add .vtx files as if they were video files (currently the vtx files can be imported but as pictures which is no use to me as they are grouped by folder and one loses all the meta info) - basically instead of the video file we have just the vtx and then to access the video file one can open the vtx and then play it. that would be really super super useful for me.
- also in the vtx thumbnail display program, would it be possible to have an option to show at bottom of the screen as an overlay the full path of the video file? given that is stored in the file already that should be pretty easy
- lastly, is there any way to edit the path stored in the vtx file? vtx seems a binary format, i need to change the drive letter for a bunch of my files - can just recreate thumbnails for them but would be nice if there was a way to change it manually
thanks!
