Package: kdenlive
Version: 20.04.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Kdenlive requires either VLC or Xine in order to preview a created .iso DVD
image. You can observe this requirement by:
1. Installing Kdenlive on a fresh system (without vlc or xine-ui installed)
2. Navigate to File -> DVD Wizard and proceed through the first three pages of
the wizard
3. On the final page of the wizard (Creating DVD Image), click "Create ISO
image"
4. Click the "Preview" button
If neither of these applications are installed, Kdenlive shows a dialog box
stating that "Previewing requires one of these applications (xine,vlc)".
It makes sense not to have the kdenlive package depend on or recommend either
of these packages, since DVD image previewing is a less-than-prominent feature
of Kdenlive, and Kdenlive handles the lack of these programs well by displaying
a dialog box. However, it seems semantically correct to have the kdenlive
package suggest vlc or xine-ui since they can "enhance its usefulness," as
section 7.2 of the Debian policy manual puts it.
I would suggest "vlc | xine-ui" since VLC is already more popular than xine-ui
according to popcon and shows a simpler interface the first time it's started,
although "xine-ui | vlc" would also be an improvement over no suggestions.
