Why did you screw this up?

They do, actually. From a wide array of users. Some of whom love it. Some hate it, like "here", and some like me go ... well, it can be usable but I'll mostly skip it.

So which users do you want them to listen to, and which to ignore?

I don't care reallyone way or the other. I learned how to work with both the import and export pages. So I can use both. Or skip them, which is easy and fast.

And as it is easy and fast to skip both, I don't really get all the angst. Well except for the name thing in the Export page which you can quickly get to easily.

To start a project simply give it a name and location on the Import page, and don't import any media.

Hit "create new", then in the new project import as you always have.

No extra time whatever. You always have had to give a project name and location in a separatedialog box. This isn't any different. Other than allowing users to import there if you wish. They don't force you to change your patterns at all.

For the export page, you can take a bit of time and setup "favorites" for the presets you routinely use for media. Unstar all the system presets.

Once you've done that, for some things, it actually works as well as the old one.

For those times you need to see the names of other exports, this page doesn't work at all. IMHO definitely needs a change.

But then, you can skip this as easily as the Import page. Simply queue over to MediaEncoder and the old one pops up, with all the functionality you want.
