Summary: kdenlive crashes on startup while using older versions
of TmpDisk
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: macOS (DMG)
OS: macOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Setup & Installation
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
kdenlive for macOS crashes on startup when using outdated version(s?) of
TmpDisk.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install an outdated version of TmpDisk.
2. Create a new TmpDisk.
3. Start kdenlive.
OBSERVED RESULT
• kdenlive reaches the splash screen.
• There's a pause after making the selections and continuing.
• Apple error report appears.
EXPECTED RESULT
kdenlive main editing window appears.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS Tahoe version 26.5.1.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The crash is triggered in libKF6Solid (KDE's hardware/device abstraction layer)
while querying device information during startup — specifically in
Solid::Device::parent(). The CFRelease(NULL) error is Apple's strict
CoreFoundation behavior (it doesn't tolerate NULL like some other platforms
do).
I couldn't get the version of TmpDisk I was using to report its version number.
Workaround:
The easy way to test if TmpDisk is crashing kdenlive is to eject all TmpDisks
and try restarting kdenlive.
Fix:
Upgrade TmpDisk to the latest version.
