Committed on 07/11/2016 at 21:22. Pushed by mardelle into branch 'Applications/16.08'. Fix incorrect Url handling in archive feature M +25 -25 src/project/dialogs/archivewidget.cpp http://commits.kde.org/kdenlive/2871dee6c51c827f41ad074c5a5d6b7435c69e08 Thanks for your report and patch. There were indeed several issues in the way the archive widget handled the paths. I committed a patch in the 16.08 branch that correct the biggest issues. Patch is here: http://commits.kde.org/kdenlive/2871dee6c51c827f41ad074c5a5d6b7435c69e08 I also have pushed the fix to the testing PPA: https://launchpad.net/~kdenlive/+archive/ubuntu/kdenlive-testing In a quick test, it seems to fix the bug you describe. Is there a way for you to test it ? I just tested your commit. It fully fixes the "Compressed archive" function - thank you very much! Additionally, it fixes the "Cannot create directory" issues when using the un-compressed archive function. Unfortunately, the un-compressed archive still contains absolute paths, so half of the archive function remains broken. Would be great if you could fix that too. (My attempt did not touch the un-compressed archive function, so it would be great if you could fix it completely ;) ) |
In previous versions (one of the 0.9.x releases), I could use the archive function to transfer the project to another PC. It copied all media files to sub-folders inside the tar archive ("images", "sounds", "videos") and updated the project.kdenlive file to reference "$CURRENTPATH/videos/xy" instead of "/mnt/xy". Using 16.08.0, the files are still copied to the tar archive, but the paths inside the project.kdenlive file stay untouched. So if I unpack the file on another PC and try to open the project, it does not find any of the media files (it tries to find them on /mnt/xy instead of using a relative path). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new project and add a media file 2. Project->Archive and select "Compressed archive" 3. Move archive to another PC or rename original files 4. Extract and open archived project Actual Results: Kdenlive tries to find media files in the original location Expected Results: Kdenlive should use the copy it created while archiving (using a relative path)
