SUMMARY
If you have added some resources outside of your project folder to your video
project, and you "save as" your project, some resource path will be wrong
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Prepare these folders and files
```
/pathto/bug-demo/common/picture.jpg
/pathto/bug-demo/common/voice.mp3
/pathto/bug-demo/project_1/
/pathto/bug-demo/project_2/
```
2. In Kdenlive,
1. Menu File-> New.
2. Set option "Project folder": Parent folder of the project file
3. Click OK
3. Drag and drop `picture.jpg` and `voice.mp3` to add to kdenlive tracks (from
file manager window Dolphin `/pathto/bug-demo/common/`)
4. Create and add color clip:
1. Menu Project->Add Color Clip->OK.
2. Drag and drop the color clip from list to track.
5. Kdenlive menu File->Save, save to
`/pathto/bug-demo/project_1/vp1.kdenlive`. Popup "Warning: ... will move
temporary files ...". Click "Continue"
Now if you open `vp1.kdenlive` in text editor you see
```xml
<producer id="producer2" in="00:00:00.000" out="00:00:04.960">
<property name="resource">0xff8080ff</property>
<property name="kdenlive:clipname">Color Clip</property>
</producer>
```
which is ok.
6. Kdenlive menu File->Save As, save another copy to
`/pathto/bug-demo/project_2/vp2.kdenlive` . Popup "Warning: ... will move
temporary files ...". Click "Continue"
Now we have files
```
/pathto/bug-demo/common/picture.jpg
/pathto/bug-demo/common/voice.mp3
/pathto/bug-demo/project_1/vp1.kdenlive
/pathto/bug-demo/project_2/vp2.kdenlive
```
Now if you open `vp2.kdenlive` in text editor you see
```xml
<producer id="producer2" in="00:00:00.000" out="00:00:04.960">
<property name="resource">/pathto/bug-demo/project_1/0xff8080ff</property>
<property name="kdenlive:clipname">Color Clip</property>
</producer>
```
the resource path is wrong. It should use relative path `0xff8080ff`. Even
the absolute path should be `../project_2/0xff8080ff` not `project_1`.
OBSERVED RESULT
The color clip uses absolute path and the path is wrong
EXPECTED RESULT
The color clip should use relative path
