Add Sideshow Clip doesn't work,
The Program requested: >>Clip is invalid, will be removed from Project.<<
A path of a not exiting file gets requested, a combination of the selected directionary and the string: "\.all.jpg"

Identical behavior encountered under Kdenlive 18.08.1 on Windows 7 when trying to create a Slideshow Clip using MIME type as the filter. Have tried changing project file setting locations and changing other project properties / global variables relating to project storage, nothing works; the Add Slideshow Clip operation just fails every time having tried to write to a file called \.all.png. 

I note that on every failed attempt, Kdenlive adds another superfluous / to the named source path in the dialog (so after two failed tries, C:/IMAGEPATH shows up as C:/IMAGEPATH// ; after five tries it appears in the dialog as C:/IMAGEPATH/////, etc. 

I *am* able to create a Slideshow Clip in the Windows build using the filename pattern option.
