Fields

ffmpeg_dir: String

Directory containing ffmpeg.exe / ffprobe.exe. Empty = app dir, then PATH.

ytdlp_dir: String

Directory containing yt-dlp.exe (the optional URL import). Empty = app dir, then PATH.

download_dir: String

Where URL downloads are written. Empty = the user’s Videos folder.

encoder: String

“auto” (libx264 / libvpx-vp9 by extension) or an ffmpeg encoder name (“libx264”, “h264_nvenc”, “h264_qsv”, “h264_amf”, “libx265”, “hevc_nvenc”, …).

crf: u32

Quality (CRF / CQ), lower = better. 18 is visually lossless for x264.

preset: String

x264/x265 preset (“ultrafast”..“veryslow”); NVENC/QSV/AMF map to their own presets.

confirm_overwrite: bool

lossless_save: bool

Save (Ctrl+S) over the opened video uses the instant -c copy cut when the project is a plain cut (cuts snap to keyframes) instead of re-encoding.

context_menu: bool

Register “Edit with Simple Editor” in the Explorer context menu for videos.

theme: String

“system” | “dark” | “light”

decoder: String

“auto” | “mf” | “ffmpeg” (auto = Media Foundation, ffmpeg fallback)

preview_max_width: u32

Preview is rendered at most this wide (pixels) to keep CPU low.

snap: bool

show_library: bool

show_inspector: bool

hotkeys: BTreeMap<String, String>

Action id -> shortcut text (“Ctrl+Shift+B”); only non-default bindings are stored. “” = unbound.

recent_assets: Vec<RecentAsset>

recent_projects: Vec<String>

layout: String

Current editor layout as JSON (empty = default layout).

layout_profiles: Vec<LayoutProfile>

Saved layout profiles (also exportable to / importable from .sedit-layout files).

curve_presets: Vec<CurvePreset>

Keyframe / motion presets, effect-chain / node-graph presets and clip templates (global, reusable across projects — the Presets pane lists all of them).

motion_presets: Vec<MotionPreset>

effect_presets: Vec<EffectPreset>

templates: Vec<Template>

user_fonts: Vec<String>

Extra font files (.ttf/.otf) imported by the user (loaded by the text rasterizer + font lists).

export_scaler: String

Export: output scaling when the output size differs from the project (ffmpeg scale flags: “neighbor” | “bilinear” | “bicubic” | “lanczos” | “area” | “spline”).

export_resolution: String

Export: “project” or “WxH”.

mcp_enabled: bool

MCP server (AI co-editing) on 127.0.0.1:mcp_port/mcp.

mcp_port: u16

gpu: bool

Render the preview on the GPU (OpenGL) when a context is available.

preview_quality: u32

Preview render scale in percent (100 = full canvas; lower is faster).

movie_mode: bool

“Movie mode”: play back pre-rendered full-quality frames.

use_proxies: bool

Preview plays background-built all-intra proxies instead of the originals.

proxy_height: u32

Proxy height in pixels (width keeps aspect).

icon_overrides: BTreeMap<String, String>

User icon picks: “action.” / “pane.” -> glyph name, or “none” to remove.

capture_fps: u32

Screen capture defaults.

capture_bitrate_kbps: u32

capture_mic: String

capture_desktop_audio: bool

capture_cursor: bool

capture_on_blur: bool

Start/stop screen recording automatically when the editor loses/gains focus.

capture_dir: String

voice_device: String

Voiceover defaults.

voice_channels: u32

frame_resolution: String

Export-frame defaults (“project” | “2x” | “4x” | “WxH”) and image format.

frame_format: String

frame_quality: u32

effect_thumb_image: String

Stock image the effects panel renders its thumbnails from (empty = the embedded default).

palette: PaletteOverride

Settings > Appearance: override for the custom-painted (timeline/preview/waveform) palette. Default (“system” mode, every colour unset) reproduces today’s Windows-derived palette exactly.

whisper_dir: String

Directory containing a whisper.cpp binary (whisper-cli.exe). Empty = the cache’s whisper folder, then the app dir, then PATH. Speech-to-text is off until a model is downloaded.

transcribe_model: String

Model the Subtitles pane offers first: a engine::transcribe::MODELS name or file name.

Implementations

impl Settings

pub fn dir() -> PathBuf

%APPDATA%\SimpleEditor

pub fn cache_dir() -> PathBuf

%LOCALAPPDATA%\SimpleEditor\cache (waveform peaks etc.)

pub fn path() -> PathBuf

pub fn load() -> Self

pub fn save(&self)

Writes a temp file then renames, so a failed write can’t destroy the previous settings.

pub fn now() -> u64

pub fn touch_recent(&mut self, path: &str)

Record a media file as recently used (most recent first; pinned entries first; capped). Keeps the entry’s tags/label/pin if it already existed.

pub fn remove_recent(&mut self, path: &str)

pub fn sort_recent(&mut self)

Pinned first, then most recently used.

pub fn touch_recent_project(&mut self, path: &str)

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Settings

fn clone(&self) -> Settings

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Settings

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Settings

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Settings

where Settings: Default,

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Serialize for Settings

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
