Very cool :-) I have given Rob developer access so that he doesn't have to 
wait on me sorting out and committing patches :-) Rob, add yourself to the 
"Authors" in main.cpp, look around line 70.

Perhaps the clip properties page should update whenever a new clip is selected 
in the project window, instead of having to explicitly select a menu option 
to update it, what do people think?

Looks good, there's one bug that I noticed - if you move the markers on the 
timeline, the workspace monitor in/outpoints don't get updated, but other 
than that it works fine.

Sounds good.

Yep, defintitely :-) The important thing is to make sure that the operation is 
performed via the command framework, so that you can undo/redo track adding 
and deleting.

Sounds good.

Rolf was looking into implementing video thumbnails but I am not sure how far 
he got, I believe most of the code is done apart from the bit that actually 
puts them on the timeline.

Cheers,
Jason
