Bug ID: 510305
Summary: Cross platform editing of kdenlive projects always
needs recovery of files
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Project Bin & Import
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If a file which was saved on windows is opened on a different device
(specifically a linux device) the project files are not found. They have to be
recovered before being able to work with the project.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
File structure:
Project folder
- Kdenlive project
- Some project files (videos, ...)
- Subfolder
- Some more project files (videos, ...)
1. Create a project on a device A (in my case on windows 10)
2. Add some files (video, audio, images, glaxnimate animations)
2. Copy the project folder to a different device B (in my case on kubuntu 24.04
3. Open the project on device B
OBSERVED RESULT
Project files can not be found on device B since the absolute filepaths are
different.
They have to be recovered using the dedicated menu (that works).
Also: Files that are used inside Glaxnimate are not recovered (See [bug filed
at Glaxnimate](https://gitlab.com/mattbas/glaxnimate/-/issues/682)).
EXPECTED RESULT
Project files should be found if the relative path stays the same.
Maybe an option to define how project files are stored is needed to do this
(relative to the project file or in a folder that is the same for all
projects).
This would allow to seamlessly transition between different devices and
continue working on the same project.
Another way to handle it would be to store the absolute path of the kdenlive
project file so that the relative paths of all other files can be recovered and
used to find the files if the absolute path doesn't work.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows 10
