Description management 2016-05-25 17:22:25 UTC

I recently added the kdenlive-master repository to my system. I upgraded kdenlive to the latest version. I went through the set up wizard, after completing, Kdenlive loads but gradually everything is deleted from the user directory I have in my home partition. Fortunately everything was backed up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. get kdenlive-master repository
2. start kdenlive
3. Question "Project Directory /home/XXXX/kdenlive does not exist. Create it? Select "no"
4. Document project folder is invalid, setting it to the default one: /home/XXXX/kdenlive
5. 100s of gbs of files are deleted.

Actual Results:  
All my files are deleted

Expected Results:  
Edit videos.

I didn't believe is could be Kdenlive, but it happened twice.
