Bug ID: 444260
Summary: kdenlive version management
Product: kdenlive
Version: unspecified
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: j...@cspv.hu
Target Milestone: ---
hi,
kdenlive already is very helpful and cautious about kdenlive versions...
so, when opening a project with a version newer than what it was last edited
with, a bakcup file is being created...
BUT instead of being careful, it could elevate to even smart :)
I mean, in project settings the kdenlive version could be set...
like "18.1"...
so, when the project is being opened in a newer version, not ooly the fact that
it is newer could be acknowledged...
after "trying" to edit the project in the newer version, the user could
(when saving it, and also when closing it)
be asked to choose whether to MIGRATE the project to a new kdenlive version...
or stick to the the original version...
// what I do is, I have a "my_apps" folder in my home dir...
in which I keep the app images..
KDENLIVE has a folder in it...
and I keep several versions there...
and in the project directory I have a 00_version_notes.txt
in which I record the version, for example, 18.12.1
and I know that this is immensely GREAT advantage of a FREE, community
developed application... cause we can have several versions...
and our projects could be safely accessed even years later..
in contrast to this, for example,
all my projects that I once had using "premiere pro" I purged.. cause I don't
don't have that application anymore.. and I don't want to have it, either :)
nor do I want to have a windows installation anywhere on my SSDs...
for some time, I kept my Sony Vegas Pro projects...
also kept a windows installation for that purpose...
and never ever updated the vegas pro...
but now I don't have any of that shit :) :)
IN ANY CASE:
when it's your personal / art project...
you'll want to access it even years later... for sure...
and kdenlive makes this perfectly possible... already...
my above suggestion is just the improved version of what already exists...
