Description François 2017-01-11 15:39:57 UTC

How to reproduce :

1- Create a new project and save it.
2- Import a PNG image sequence that is from the same location as the project file so that the path is set to relative in the project file.
3- So far so good, the image sequence clip is displayed correctly.
4- Save and Close the project.
5- Reopen the project.
6- Now the image sequence clip is displayed as "invalid".

Comment 2 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2017-01-12 21:34:33 UTC

This bug was  triggered when using the "Filename pattern" method for slideshow (or the "import image sequence" checkbox from add clip). It will work correctly now with this patch. As a workaround for people using Kdenlive <= 16.12.1, you can open your .kdenlive project file in text editor and replace occurences of "?begin:" with "?begin=" (having = instead of : fixes the error).
