maybe jb can give us a light on this issue.
Hello Farid, all
I am absolutely sorry to hear that. I cannot exclude that Kdenlive's git
master did delete an incorrect directory.
Some code for directory deletion without safety check was active last
sunday for about 6 hours before I added a check. I had some doubts about
the code but was not at that time aware that it could delete a home
directory.
Checking now, I think it is possible that this led to deletion of a home
directory, I am really sorry if anyone experienced data loss.
I just added a double check in the code in the few places where we delete a
directory so that this cannot happen again.
I guess I should add a warning somewhere that despite doing my best, using
git master can be dangerous...
Oh I feel bad. :(

The package has been unmodified for about a year now. I will
investigate once I am close to a computer again.
It seems very strange that installing a package will erase any directory. ..

Hi guys,
FYI
Over at archlinux we have had two people (one of them me) where
after installing kdenlive-git the /home data gets deleted.
I don't know if this is due to the package of kdenlive at
archlinux or something caused by kdenlive itself (although i
doubt it.)
