Right now, it does not seem to go anywhere. As Frank said, nothing new
has come besides the tools I wrote. I had hopes that those tools would
give a boost to the whole project but I was mistaken. That's why I am
holding off on any other goodies I might have...

Yeah, it's probably the same table I saw 2 years ago listing all the
stuff that should have been done by now... and on that list were also
ideas from 2-3 years before that, still to be implemented.

You may already have that url but I put all my OpenEV stuff here:

http://pages.infinit.net/starged/openev/index.htm

There, you may also find the answer for your image compose needs.

I hope traffic has not died down because people have the same prob as
me (ie, Sourceforge refusing their post)...

You perception is right. And I would add that we all agree OpenEV has
no future whatsoever if it doesn't move to GTK2 soon. Not to put
pressure on the Vexcel folks but I think they are getting the sense
now that their work on the GTK2 port is desperately needed in order to
bring new life to a dying project.

It would be a shame that a software having so much potential died
simply because of a lack of commitment or interest...
