Hi i'm not having experience of that kind of reports, simply use kdenlive for long time. Is something that i must do?  Updating or something else? Thanks.

Also i can't save a new title! (Ubuntu 16.04) Kdenlive don't recognize saved titles

Comment 4 dimitrisbolaris1 2016-08-08 22:54:52 UTC

Just got the update and "Edit" work fine! Thanks a lot Jean-Baptiste !!! But still have the "save" issue. kdenlive not recognize saved titles (looks like plain text from ubuntu). But i will be patient i know there is a solution. Thanks again!

Comment 5 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2016-08-09 06:05:56 UTC

Can you please describe exactly what is the problem when saving titles ?
What are you doing, which button / command you use and which error message you see ?

Comment 6 Wegwerf 2016-08-09 14:51:21 UTC

Dimitris, are you on Ubuntu or Kubuntu? If on Ubuntu, did you install the KF5 plasma shell packages?

Comment 7 dimitrisbolaris1 2016-08-09 19:17:27 UTC

I'm in Ubuntu 16.06 after upgrading from 14.04

The saving steps:
I make the title, press the upper left button "Save As", on window choose folder, i give title name (always as .kdenlivetitle) and then "save" as i use to do on previous edition of kdenlive (9.0)

When trying  to reopen the title nothing appears in selected folder

I will search about KF5 plasma

Comment 8 dimitrisbolaris1 2016-08-09 19:23:11 UTC

No i use GNOME

Comment 9 Wegwerf 2016-08-09 19:30:12 UTC

You'll need to install some KF5 Plasma and frameworks packges; as I'm using Kubuntu I unfortunately don't remember which packages need to be installed so that the file dialogs work correctly; this is somehow related to media types. Please search the Kdenlive forum for help, there are several threads about installing Kdenlive on Ubuntu.

In Archlinux I had to install 

kded
kfilemetadata
knewstuff
knotifyconfig
plasma-desktop (optional) - for theme configuration

The solution for these kind of issues is to have a guideline so that the packagers of the distros are aware of these issues. This also applies for MLT version.
