Bug ID: 465138
Summary: Make external proxies more flexible
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version: 22.12.1
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Video Display & Export

Concept: New "Custom" option pointed by red arrow; separate suffix and
extension pointed by yellow arrows
SUMMARY
1. Add a "Custom" option to the External Proxy Clips, in Project
Settings/Proxy, where we can manually change the parameters (paths, prefixes,
suffixes, extensions);
2. Break the clip/proxy suffix field into two separate fields: "suffix" and
"extension". The first excludes the file extension, the second only looks at
the file extension. If the "extension" field is left empty, Kdenlive accepts
all files of all supported extensions;
3. Option to set the proxy folder to any arbitrary folder, that can be an
absolute path (this allows us to have the proxies folder located in external
drives, for example, or media-only servers separate from the project folder
root;
Additional:
4. Change the clip/proxy paths from "relative to clip/proxy" to "relative to
the project root folder". So, if the project root folder is "My Project" and it
contains the folder "FOOTAGE" that itself contains folders "PROXIES" and
"ORIGINALS", we could set the clip/proxy paths to "FOOTAGE/ORIGINALS" and
"FOOTAGE/PROXIES", respectively. For this to work, I imagine it would be
required for the Kdenlive project to note which folder is the project root;
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open "Project Settings"
2. Click on the "Proxy" tab
3. Enable "External proxy clips"
4. Click on the drop-down menu containing the pre-existing external proxy
profiles
5. Notice how we have no "Custom" option, and how we are not able to customize
any of the existing profiles
EXPECTED RESULT
In the "External proxy clips" drop-down menu, we should have a "Custom" option
that allows to customize the settings to our specific project needs.
