Description François 2017-01-06 09:34:09 UTC

When using Kdenlive 16.12 "relative paths" new feature, I noticed that sometimes (after a few saves?) a "/" gets added to the beginning of the path in the project file.

assets/audio/mysong.mp3
becomes
/assets/audio/mysong.mp3

This breaks the link to the resource when reopening the project file and a recursive search to fix it, changes it to an absolute path (which is not ideal in my case).

If I manually, remove the unwanted "/" in my project file, everything works again.

Thanks!

Thanks for your report. I have also encountered this issue a few times but was not able to reproduce to understand what causes it. In case you find a way to reproduce, please let me know.

Thank you Jean-Baptiste! I will check if the problem happen again with your fix.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce when it happened. I think that it happened after I made proxies from my clips, but I am not sure that it is related.
