Use Shift-[\] to open the MMP config dialog
Use Ctrl-[H] to open a [H]elp panel
Don't forget, the recommendation is to set openImage=browser and exitBrowser=exitApp and to associate all your image file extensions with MMP using the provided mmp-install.bat file.
This operates MMP as [in effect] two applications in one: the main media-playing window for playing audio and video files, and the Image & Thumbnail Browser for viewing and managing all your image files.
See the Wiki to get the most from your use of MMP, particularly the MMP Config File topic.
Release Notes v5.2.0
IMPORTANT FIXES
- there was an occasional, intermittent, non-predictable, non-repeatable access violation when delete-shredding or
Ctrl-[M]moving the currently-playing video. This caused a continuous stream of popup error messages to be generated, and required the user to manually killMMPusing a Task Manager. The cause of this problem appears to have been identified and fixed - doing a
Ctrl-[M]move of the current video when theTimeline Editorwas open caused theTimeline Editorto create and maintain a.mmpeditor file for the moved video in the destinationMoved=folder, rather than in the current folder for the next video actually being edited. Consequently, any subsequentExportoperation worked on the moved video file instead. A bizarre and elusive bug which has now has been fixed - GitHub has once again changed the URL entries for images included in release notes.
Auto Updatenow allows for the new entries when downloading release notes and images will be correctly displayed when viewing release notes from theCtrl-[A]About Box - launching
MMPwhen there are existing.segnn.segment files created by theTimeline Editorcorrectly results in those video segment files being included in the playlist for the current folder. Doing a subsequentCtrl-Shift-[C]cleanup ofTimeline Editorfiles will now remove them from the playlist, whereas previously they remained in the playlist - when you batch-delete/shred several files at a time, e.g. with
Ctrl-[Del]folder contents, orCtrl-Shift-[C]cleanup ofTimeline Editorfiles,MMPwill prevent you from issuing further deletion operations until the current batch-delete operation has completed - the previous release broke the
Ctrl-Shift-[C]cleanup of Timeline Editor files so that nothing happened. This has been corrected

A Note About MPV Playback
MMP: Minimalist Media Player uses MPV as a library (aka the libmpv-2.dll file) to perform all the playback of audio and video files and to display images.
If you have any playback issues, especially with video files, it may help to download a different copy of libmpv-2.dll from https://github.com/shinchiro/mpv-winbuild-cmake/releases/.
You should download any mpv-dev-x86_64-v3……7z file. -dev- is the keyword to look for in the file name.
If you have a particularly old processor then ignore the v3 files and download any other mpv-dev-x86_64……7z file instead.
Keyframes
- The wiki article on keyframes is now available at Video Keyframes
- There is also an example editing session at Video Editing Example showing how to use the new keyframes functionality to achieve clean edits, with video clips showing the difference that using keyframes can make
