Bug fixes only. The new features on main will come in 2.15.0.

  • Trimmed clips that wouldn't play in the Vice window (#246). When a trim has to re-encode, the copied audio used to keep a short lead-in from before the cut. The QtWebEngine on Ubuntu 24.04 and Pop!_OS (Chromium 102) refuses files like that with "unfixable negative timestamp". Trims now drop it, and the audio stays in sync. Thanks @thebrightspark for the files that made this reproducible.
  • Trims now keep the recording's bitrate (#256). A re-encoded trim used fixed quality settings, so a clip recorded at 10 Mbit/s could come back at more than three times that. It's now capped at the original's own video bitrate. Also found by @thebrightspark.
  • A clip sometimes opened to a black player (#249). Reopening the clip you'd just closed left the player with no video loaded. The "can't play this, open it in your player" message also never appeared when a clip genuinely couldn't play. Both are fixed. Reported by @thebrightspark.
  • Reveal in file manager did nothing on KDE Plasma (#252). The service didn't pass KDE_SESSION_VERSION, so xdg-open tried a KDE 3 tool that no longer exists and still reported success. @evez0 tracked this down exactly. If you use the AUR package or install.sh, the updated service file is installed for you. Vice also refreshes those variables from your session before opening anything.
  • Game detection on KDE Wayland with kdotool (#152). When kdotool couldn't see a Proton game, the fallback scan of XWayland windows was skipped on KDE, so nothing got tagged. It now runs there too. Thanks @Localghost5075 for the logs.
