            Bug ID: 375087
           Summary: Archive option uses absolute path
           Product: kdenlive
           Version: 16.12.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: User Interface
          Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
          Reporter: marcdra...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Pretty minor unless you're using the archiver (which I guess most people
aren't). The XML file created makes the path absolute from root:

<property name="resource">/home/marc/images/etc

Which is great IF you put the archive back where it all came from I guess.
However, if it's unpacked to a separate directory (even on a different user)
this blows up (so to speak).

This is a minor bug (might even call it a feature) but it's a bit of a beastie
if you move the archives around from place to place. 

Can we have a warning/option or something to fix or a workaround that doesn't
involve editing the XML later?

I also note when I fix the XML (using a relative path like this <property
name="resource">./images/etc) it breaks the loader somewhat. I was able to
recover but it's a bit of a bind.

Peach out chaps.
