Bug: Utilities dialog too long to fit on screen
pedrocadiz13 opened this issue · comments
The Utilities dialog is too long to fit on screen on my 15@ MacBook Pro. I need to hide the dock in order to access the buttons.
Currently the Utilities and Settings dialogs show in the centre of the screen. You probably have more problem with the Settings dialog which is longer than Utilities. You must be using a quite low resolution as the Utilities dialog is only 350 pixels high.
Anyway, I've changed the positioning of both Utilities and Settings so that they open in the same location as Main. You can change Main's location by just moving it then doing something else e.g. opening Utilities or Settings or Quit. So, if you position Main towards the top of the Desktop, Utilities and Settings will display there also.
Cheers.
The Utilities dialogue is way bigger than 360 pixels, see screenshot:
Its being padded out by the Version Installed section.
Yikes ! That is not normal. I've just downloaded MacYTDL, launched then opened Utilities. It displays normally. So, this will be hard to diagnose. Anyway, I know where that text comes from and I'll try to find out why it is being displayed in the Utilities dialog.
I have a few questions:
- Can you tell me what your language settings are ?
- Do you know where your copy of FFmpeg is stored ?
- Did you use MacYTDL to install FFmpeg ? If not, did you compile your own copy of FFmpeg, use Brew to install it or install an FFmpeg snapshot ?
- Does the Utilities dialog look this way every time you open it ?
- Which version of macOS are you using ?
Many thanks.
Hi
Language settings are British English, but also have the Simplified Chinese pinyin as a second language.
FFmpeg is installed at
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg. If memory servers me it was originally downloaded via audacity, but I think brew has downloaded as a dependency.
Yes, the dialogue always opens like that.
I'm using Mac OS 15.5.5
Cheers.
I suspect the copy of FFmpeg. Although the version of yours is the latest, the compiling detail is different – maybe the Audacity process downloaded from a different location.
Anyway, I need to work up a bug-fix which will take a while. In the meantime, you can stop the problem by deleting your copy of /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg and installing another from here:
https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-4.2.3.zip
Or, you can start MacYTDL which will do the download and install for you. Either way you will need to supply admin credentials.
Many thanks for making contact.
Cheers.
Hi
Replacing ffmpeg with the one from the comment above worked thanks, much better.
Cheers.
I am glad it's working. I hope to implement a bug fix in v1.15.
Problem was MacYTDL code assumed all copies of FFmpeg came form same source and had same version text. That was incorrect and code has been updated to handle copies of FFmpeg "brewed" independently.
