Public bug reported: OS: Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) OpenShot: 1.4.2-1 (from ubuntu repositories)
Importing two files /directory1/part.mpg /directory2/part.mpg these two files get the same thumbnails in OpenShot (yes, even if the content differs). I guess it's because OpenShot only compares the filename, but not the file identity/path. It leads to problems as it's hard to identify a file that's not distinguishable in the UI anymore. When cutting a movie that's devided to more than one DVD for size reasons, where every DVD has identical file names for the movie clips, I currently rename the files of the second DVD before importing as a workaround; but that should not be necessary. This seems to be a similar issue like https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/922207 (but it's not the same). ** Affects: openshot Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Bugs, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054238 Title: Clips with equal file names from different folders get unique thumbnails Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Bug description: OS: Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) OpenShot: 1.4.2-1 (from ubuntu repositories) Importing two files /directory1/part.mpg /directory2/part.mpg these two files get the same thumbnails in OpenShot (yes, even if the content differs).
