Bug ID: 414646
Summary: Kdenlive in Windows crashes when opening a project
created under a different Locale
Product: kdenlive
Version: 19.08.3
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: daloo...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Kdenlive in Windows shows a visual C++ Runtime error and crashes when
attempting to open a project that was created and saved under a different
locale. The issue seems to be due to the fact that some locales use a comma
instead of a period in their timestamps.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a project with a machine using the locale fr_CA and save it. See
http://txt.do/1oxnn for an example project.
2. Move to a machine running Windows and with the locale en_US. Attempt to open
the previous project.
OBSERVED RESULT
Crash: Runtime Error! This program has requested yadda yadda yadda...
EXPECTED RESULT
Kdenlive gives a warning about the project being created in a different locale
and offers to save it in the current locale.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 8
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Here is a workaround:
1. Open the project in a text editor
2. Change LC_NUMERIC="fr_CA.UTF-8" to LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
3. Use find and replace to transform all of the commas into periods in the
timestamps. For example:
<producer title="Anonymous Submission" id="producer0" in="00:00:00,000"
out="00:03:14,181">
in the original file now becomes this:
<producer id="producer0" in="00:00:00.000" out="00:00:04.972">
4. The project will now open properly without crashing Kdenlive
