Aha! My install path was /usr/local. I've now removed this installation and
rebuilt and reinstalled with /usr as install prefix. This solved the
problem for me.
Thanks for your help.

thanks.
i'm not sure if this is a kdenlive or kde problem. (maybe there is some kde
config I should have set to make kde also look in /usr/local ?)
however, a nice error message would be fine either way.

Thanks for looking at this issue. Where did you install kdenlive ? The problem seems to be that the file: vnd.kde.kdenlive.desktop was not installed in a correct place. This file goes in $PREFIX/share/mimelnk/application Please, try copying it to $HOME/.kde/share/mimelnk/application and restart kdenlive to see if it fixes the issue. > In any case I urgly recommend that ProjectFormatManager::saveDocument() > at least displays an error dialog in this situation instead of failing > silently.. Sure. I will try to fix the install issue and fix this problem. regards jb

The following line in kdenlive/projectformatmanager.cpp always sets filter to NULL which causes the SaveAs slot of the application to do nothing: SaveProjectFilter *filter = findSaveFormat(format->name()); it would help me a bit with debugging this problem if someone on this list could write a short explanation on what should happen here. In my case format and url evaluate to: format->name() is 'application/octet-stream' url.url() is 'file:///root/demo.kdenlive' Afaics format->name() should better be something like 'application/vnd.kde.kdenlive'. Do I need to add some kde settings to make this work? How? Where?

Hi, I'm using kdeenlive trunk (rev 1762) because the last release needs unsermake and I was unable to find the unsermake sources and so could not build the last release. it looks great so far. sometimes it segfaults but i assume that's because I triggered features which are under development right now.. but there is one massive problem: I can't save my current project. If I try it, everything looks fine in the GUI but no project file is created. stracing the kdenlive process while trying to save a project showed that it actually looks if the desired filename exists. So I tried touching such a file first. This time the 'save as' dialog asked my if I really want to override the existing file but again, when i click 'yes' nothing changes in the filesystem. Combined with 'it segfaults now and then' this renders kdenlive unusable for me. Is there anything I can do to help you with fixing this bug and the segfaults? Are you aware of the segfault problems or should I send you stack backtraces? yours, - clifford -- A byte walks into a bar and orders a pint. Bartender asks him "What's wrong?"
