In Lumiera, "Tracks" are not what you'd expect from
conventional video editing software. They are a mere
grouping devide, and are also used to implement the
"media bins" and tool palettes.
But having "folders" on the timeline would be likewise
confusing, as would be to have a "branch" or "tree".
To get out of that dilemma, we chose an understandable
but deliberately somewhat strange name: "Fork"
It was common understanding on the Mailinglist that we
should handle this renaming in a tuned-down and discrete
way: The UI will continue to show "Tracks" for a familiar
sight and "Bins" in the Asset section. But Lumiera developers
will be nudged to accomodate by renaming the entity in
source code accordingly
(search & replace). Please feel free to add your name to any files to which you added any contributions.
