Description Wegwerf 2015-11-21 16:54:32 UTC 
Kdenlive Add-On Installer dialog (such as for downloading new wipes) lacks a required configuration file, "kdenlive_wipes.knsrc".

I'm getting this error message on a Kdenlive 15.11.80 directly compiled from git repo, branch Applications/15.12. Kdenlive has been locally installed into a subdir of $HOME.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Kdenlive 
2. Choose "Settings" > "Download New Wipes..."

Actual Results:  
Dialog opens but shows the error message: Configuration file not found: "kdenlive_wipes.knsrc"

Expected Results:  
List of wipes available for download.

I've finally tracked this down: XDG_CONFIG_DIRS needs to also point to the etc/xdg directory of a local install that is not in the standard locations. KNS3::DownloadDialog(configFile) uses the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to search for the .knsrc file specified. I've also upated the discussion page of https://community.kde.org/Talk:Kdenlive/Development/KF5, in particular the script for setting up the required env variable to correctly start Kdenlive from a local install.

The error message also occurs in the AppImage for version 17.12.0
