3. Save the project and close kdenlive.
4. Move the images to a sub-directory.
5. Re-open kdenlive and open the (invalid) slideshow clip.

OBSERVED RESULT
A text clip dialog is shown.

EXPECTED RESULT
Slideshow clip properties dialog and so user can fix the path.

Is it similar to this Bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379351

No, in my case slideshow works perfectly. Problem only occurs after moving the images to different location.
I assume kdenlive is trying to let user re-select the new location when the invalid clip is clicked. But instead it shows a text clip dialog which allows me to re-select font, see screenshot.
The work around is using an editor to fix the XML file  :-)

As it has been a while since this was reported, can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved.

Please try with the current Kdenlive version https://kdenlive.org/en/download/)

Verified on v20.12.0. User is allowed to select a new path.
