Hi Joan,

I tried to update the bug report No. 291  but it is not recognizing my username/password.

Regarding the issue I am having with the Bike Fit tool not saving and re-opening properly, following are links to a video and KVA file, and an image of the Bike Fit tool after re-opening the video file:

OK, I've found the issue with position/size.
When a generic posture / custom tool is added manually, there is some code that scales it relatively to the image size, to give it a sensible size.

Unfortunately, the same bit of code is also run when the tool comes from a KVA, even though it has already been positioned and sized manually.

This impacts all custom tools, flipped or not. Simply saving and reloading will provoke a change in position and size. The more the image size is different from 800x600 (the reference canvas size for custom tools) the more this will be apparent.
(Fixed in dev version)

The fact that you loose the color still eludes me. I can open your KVA fine and the tool is green.

Thanks, Joan!  When you said you fixed it in the dev version, is that the Experimental version linked in the forum, or a pre-release?  Just checking...

I rechecked the DL_Left_Side file and it re-opened with black on both my laptop and desktop.  (I thought OS might have been an issue, since they run Vista SP2 and Win7x64 SP1, respectively).  I am exporting in .AVI for compatibility.  I can check the other video formats to see if it makes a difference.

BTW, I was thinking it might be valuable to include Build no. with the Experimental version (e.g., Kinovea 0.8.19 Build 0XX), just to ensure we are working from your lasted beta release.

The build number shouldn't be necessary since except in some very specific cases, there is only one instance of a particular version.
Some instances with similar version number can sometimes be built for testing of a new translation, a specific bugfix or feature. They don't spread and should be deleted and replaced as soon as the actual version is released. wink

Currently the fix is only at the source level in the source code repository.

The video format shouldn't have any bearing in the color issue, that information is stored in the KVA file.
