Bug ID: 469083
Summary: Project files not stored in location specified
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version: 23.04.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: cnptec...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Project files are not stored in the location specified in the setting specified
in Project Defaults. Instead they are stored under /run/user/doc/ which is
inaccessible.
Project files cannot therefore be accessed outside of Kdenlive and cannot
therefore be backedup or copied
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use the SNAP version of kdenlive. This bug does not appear in the appimage
version.
2. Set kdenlive project defaults to a custom folder of your choice.
3. Start a new project
4. Save As the new project to a name of your choice. The Save As folder appears
as per the custom setting above
5. Select the project just saved from the Open Recent menu
6. Take a backup as required of the project file just saved, in the custom
location as above
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Recent Files show the saved project, but its location is under /run/user/doc
... not the custom folder specified
2. The saved project file does not appear in the custom saved location as
specified in the custom location default
3. the saved project file cannot be accessed externally from kdenlive in its
/run/user/doc location due to permissions issues.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. The project file is saved in the location specified both in kdenlive project
defaults and the project settings to which they are propagated.
2. The project file is accessible external to kdenlive to be able to copy,
backup, or move elsewhere
