Hey hello, first of all thanks for developing this application.

At my work we are currently making lots of IMF packages for clients and the tool is really awesome. But after working the past 1,5 month intensively with the tool some impractical things really stick out so i just wanted to give some feedback regarding those.

  • When opening a IMF package or import a subtitle asset the window that unfolds does not show the normal file explorer choices, IMF is big so all the content is located on network attached storage but the attached network drives and locations are completely absent from this browser window in the IMF tool.

  • We often end with a package that has multiple CPL files, think multi region versions and added trailers/clips. When you have created those multiple CPL files sometimes you want to quickly copy paste for example the ID or labeltext, but if you enter it for a CPL you first have to save, then go to the next, paste and save and so on. Would be lovely if we could switch in the same package between CPL without the need to save first before going to the next CPL because currently you just lose the data.

  • Would be nice to be able to remove a language from the annotation without needing to delete the whole annotation list.

  • I like going through settings and preferences, in the Tool there is the menu option Tools -> preferences <- greyed out, noooo the torture.

  • As far away goals it would be nice if the Tool could support some more playback/player functionality so you can do some simple QC of your work before compiling. Listen to audio tracks for example to make sure the correct language is used.

  • Some added functionality to directly import MXF OP1A or Atom to IMF tool (needing rewrap) or something. (like is possible PCM import)

Wel thanks for the read and hope the feedback can contribute to the development of the tool.
