#666 Video button reverts to image button whenever property page is opened

[Volker]

This affects DVDStyler 3.0.4 on Win7x64 SP1.

Steps to reproduce (problems in bold):

1. Create new DVDStyler project (e.g. PAL 720x576 16:9 AC3, no template).
2. Add DVD compliant MPEG file to the titleset (shows up as Title 1).
3. Drag title into VMGM Menu 1.
4. Open button 1 properties by double clicking the button.
5. Change look to Video, click ... button to set start time (Why does it have such a strange default?) and duration to !=0s.
6. Click OK to dismiss the dialog.
7. Open button 1 properties by double clicking the button. Look reverts to Image.
8. Change look to Video, click ... button: Start time reverts to strange default, duration is preserved.

This is reflected in the .dvds file as well:

<svg id="s_button01">
  <video x="5%" y="5%" width="90%" height="90%" preserveAspectRatio="xmidymid slice" dur="60" clipBegin="84.816" id="image" xlink:href="C:\temp\# Opa_Achim_DVDs\Anja 1975 [H264.Super8].mpg" style="opacity:1;"/>
  <use x="2" y="2" id="shadow" xlink:href="#rect" style="fill:none;filter:url(#shadowFilter);stroke:#404040;stroke-opacity:1;visibility:hidden;"/>
  <g id="main" style="fill:none;stroke:#ffffff;">
    <rect x="5%" y="5%" width="90%" height="90%" rx="5" ry="5" id="rect" style="stroke-width:5;"/>
  </g>
</svg>

changes to

<svg id="s_button01">
  <image x="5%" y="5%" width="90%" height="90%" preserveAspectRatio="xmidymid slice" id="image" xlink:href="C:\temp\# Opa_Achim_DVDs\Anja 1975 [H264.Super8].mpg" style="opacity:1;"/>
  <use x="2" y="2" id="shadow" xlink:href="#rect" style="fill:none;filter:url(#shadowFilter);stroke:#404040;stroke-opacity:1;visibility:hidden;"/>
  <g id="main" style="fill:none;stroke:#ffffff;">
    <rect x="5%" y="5%" width="90%" height="90%" rx="5" ry="5" id="rect" style="stroke-width:5;"/>
  </g>
</svg>

whenever the (modified) projects is saved.

I'd like to have all settings (de)serialized whenever I (re)open the button properties dialog because it is very annoying having to re-do all video settings again whenever I open the property page.

Thank you!

It seems that # in file or directory name cause the problem. As work around you can rename it. It will be fixed in next release.

fixed in DVDStyler 3.1
