Hi, I encountered this phenomena when working from another computer from which I accessed the project in physically the same disk-directory but the networkpath was different.
On the original computer something like /video/my-name/project but on the other computer: /net/original-computername/video/my-name/project The solution could be to access / make the project on the original computer also as a network drive but relative addressing would be a nicer thing apart from the fact that I can send somebody else the whole project. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL - BR, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/423948 Title: Moving a project folder looses thumbnails Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Confirmed Bug description: When a project is moved to another location (subfolder thumbnails included), the snapshot images point to the original location. Thus in the project screen, the movies are shown with no snapshot. Everything is functional, but this is not as it supposed to work. Apparently is the loaction of the thumbnails stored in a absolute way, so not relative. As long as the project folder is not moved, everything works. Steps to reproduce: - Create a folder, say '~/OpenShot' - Create a folder, say '~/OpenShot/Project1' - Create a new project - Import some movies - Save the project under 'Project1.osp' in '~/OpenShot/Project1' - Close the project - Check the automatically created folder 'thumbnails' (and contents) under '~/OpenShot/Project1' - Copy '~/OpenShot/Project1' to '~/OpenShot/Project2' - Open '~/OpenShot/Project2/Project1.osp' - Check the images (thumbnails) to appear in the movie tracks - Close OpenShot - Rename the folder ~/OpenShot/Project1' to ~/OpenShot/Project1_' - Open '~/OpenShot/Project2/Project1.osp' - Check the images (thumbnails): they do not appear anymore in the movie tracks - Close OpenShot - Revert the renaming: rename the folder ~/OpenShot/Project1_' back to '~/OpenShot/Project1' - Open '~/OpenShot/Project2/Project1.osp' - Check the images (thumbnails) to re-appear in the movie tracks This proves that the location of the thumbnails which shows in the movie tracks, are stored absolutely, so not relative to the project folder. Despite the existence of the thumbnail sub folder, images in that folder do not play any role when the project is copied from another location. The copied thumbnail sub folder could be deleted any time, without loosing any data. To prove this, a final test: - Rename the folder ~/OpenShot/Project1/thumbnails' to './thumbnails_' - Open '~/OpenShot/Project2/Project1.osp' - Check the images (thumbnails): they do not appear anymore in the movie tracks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/423948/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
