Things go smoother that way. It's one of the numerous
annoyances you learn to work around...
It's not really annoyance. There is no way to know what user wants to do
when changing settings.
To some extent, it is. At least for the majority of the users.
How should cinelerra know that it should change
the size of the tracks also.
Cinelerra is a program. It does not "know" anything. The developers,
on the other hand, should know a bit about the user's motivation:
* What does the user want when he changes the project setting from NTSC
resolution (the hardcoded default) to PAL resolution?
- He wants as much as possible to appear in a suitable way for PAL
resolution. For the _PAL_ tracks that he has already loaded, it makes
sense to show them in _PAL_ resolution, that is in the project canvas
size. No black bars. No need to fiddle with right-click menus on
each and every track afterwards.
That is what most users likely want in that scenario. Can you come
up with common counter-examples?
