Whoops forgot the Version: 0.9.99 (rev. v0.9.10-250-g004a668) Btw. This time I filed the bug via the integrated reporter, but the version info did not get included. I cannot reproduce, can you try with current git? I just tested the new master branch Version 15.03.80 (rev. v15.03.80-5-g7be54b6) I recorded a screen cast showing what I mean --> layout.webm I open kdenlive and a project and costomise the layout (slide the timeline to the bottom, enlarge the monitor) Then i close it and open it again and the layout is back to default. Maybe I'm wrong but I believe 0.9.10 remembered the layout. Created attachment 91501 [details]

Video showing the layout not being remembered.
Strange, I cannot reproduce the problem. To be correct, the layout is not saved inside the project file, but inside Kdenlive's settings file, and it is saved everytime Kdenlive is closed. This works correctly for me. There was at some point a bug in Qt / KXMLGUI (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337353) that triggered this problem (window size not remembered on all KF5 applications). Can you check for example if Dolphin (KDE's file manager that has a KF5 version) remembers its window size ? Please also let me know the versions of your kxmlgui package (on ubuntu it is called libkf5xmlgui5), and which Qt version you have, thanks. Hello JB, Dolphin is still at Version Version 14.11.97 under KDE 4.14.5 so I guess still KDE4 in the Arch repos. According to Pacman kxmlgui 5.7.0-1 is installed I'll try a git version of dolphin from AUR and report back. Hello JB, the AUR Version would rip out half of my Desktop so I have to wait when I get back to my testing system as I don't want to mess up my Uni Notebook. I'll report back as soon as I can.

kdenlive-rc diff
Hello JB,
your comment about the config file got me thinking so I diff'ed ~/.config/kdenliverc (hope that's the right one) file before changing the UI and after and something did change but I don't know what exactly at least it did in the MainWindow and ProjectTree Sections but the visible UI stays the same.
i confirm this issue. It happens for me as well since I upgraded my kdenlive recently to 15.04.1. Seeing same issue on kdenlive 15.04.1 from Kubuntu backports. A workaround is to use the save and load layout from the view menu, which works fine. Also seeing this issue in openSUSE Tumbleweed, kdenlive-15.08 and in Manjaro, kdenlive-15.04 Also seeing this issue right from Kdenlive 15.04.1 up to currently 4:15.08.0+git20150908.0238+15.04-0 on Kubuntu 15.04 with CI ppa. Hi J-B, this still persists in the master branch. Any chance we could tackle this issue for the 15.12 release? Thanks and regards, Paul Can again confirm this issue for a completely fresh install of Kubuntu 15.04 with Kdenlive compiled from "nightly" git master sources. This installation never saw a stock 15.04 Kdenlive. Saving a new layout in Kdenlive, ending Kdenlive, and restarting Kdenlive will result in the layout not properly getting restored. Still present in just out o' packman kdenlive-15.08.3-1.1 for Tumbleweed. Also still present in Applications/15.12.0. However, sometime Kdenlive remembers a newly saved setup. However, this happens only in rare circumstances which are yet unclear to me. @wegwerf Okay, so I'm not the only one. On my desktop the layout is remembered now. However on my laptop it still isn't. Both are using the 2ffb44a snapshot of the 15.12 branch. Up to date Arch on both machines. The Desktop has movit enabled (AMD HD7970; mesa 11) the laptop doesn't (Intel HD4400; crashes everytime I try to resize the monitor with movit) Any ideas? I've noticed that Kdenlive remembers the layout when Kdenlive's window isn't maximized. You may very well resize it to use all space, but don't maximize it from the window manager perspective. Now rearrange and resize Kdenlive's views. Save. Exit. Restart should now restore this view setup correctly. Even when you are now officially maximizing Kdenlive's window. I tripped on this by accident and can at least reproduce it on my installation. @ wegwerf I can reproduce it exactly as you said. Unfortunately by resizing the window I blew my beautiful setup to pieces ;( @ J-B Any chance a fix will make it into the 15.12 series? Or is there anything more we can do to help you investigate? Cheers! I had the same issue with past releases. However, testing Kdenlive 15.11.90+49 from Vincent Pinon's new ppa for Wily, this issue was resolved for me. Whether working on a project, or simply changing the layout and closing, Kdenlive now opens up to the exact same layout I'd made before, size, position and all. Tested on Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 x64 w/ GNOME 3.16 i am using 15.11.90 and also confirm that this is solved. Created attachment 95995 [details]
Layout change with 15.12.0-f9c12b9 screen cast
Yes and no.
I can confirm the strange behaviour wegwerf described.
I'm on 15.12.0 which will probably become the final release (git pull 5 minutes ago).
I can also confirm that when you resize the UI components while not maximized the layout is indeed remembered. Maximising afterwards seems to also remember the layout.
It seems you have to adjust the layout before maximising else it won't be remembered.
You can see everything in the screen cast I made.
Cheers!
Running Unity 7.3.2 in 15.10, I can confirm this issue does happen. Doesn't seem to happen in Gnome 3.16, however. :/ I am using 15.12 and it seems to be fixed... using gnome 3.18 in archlinux. Same in my case. Kdenlive remember layout only if window is not maximized. Ubuntu 16.04 BETA 2 Kdenlive 15.12.1 I can confirm the bug as described in comment nr. 19 by wegferf. I am using kdenlive 16.04.0, KDE frameworks 5.21.0, QT 5.5.1, all on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed x_64. I hope this can be fixed soon! Just gave it a try with kdenlive-16.04.1-1.4.x86_64 (Packman package on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed). Seems to work fine now! Kind regards, Hendric *** Bug 351723 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is ugly: there are several similar issues reported by other developers for other Qt/KDE applications. And everyone tries to fix it in a different way. One interesting report here: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48315 Just confirming that this bug still happens in kdenlive 16.08.2, which I am running on KDE Neon with Plasma 5.8.1, KDE Frameworks 5.27.0, and Qt 5.7.0. I have the same issue with ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS on three machines. Find a workaround to solve this and posted it in the forum. Also made a video. Please see: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=269&t=136816 THIS REPORT IS CLOSED AS WONTFIX; DO NOT REOPEN IT, AND DON'T ADD ME-TOO NOTES. Some extensive googling shows that this is a general issue with Qt. I could find no real fix for this, as there are conflicting fixes proposed. I'm now closing this report as we can't fix this issueon a reliable basis. There is no need to reopen this bug report. If you have provable code fixing this issue without causing nasty side effects, and you have thoroughly tested your fix, please contact the developers through thr mailing list. *** Bug 359415 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
