Description Imo "Vortex Acherontic" Hester 2020-05-31 20:16:52 UTC
SUMMARY
I noticed that over time Kdenlive seems to bloat the home folder if you work on multiple different projects over time.
2 Month ago I completely erased the Kdenlive cache folder and it grew to a size of 58.1 GiB - 2549 Files and 133 Folders in just two month. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Work on multiple Kdenlive projects
2. Observe teh folder at ~/.cache/kdenlive grow

OBSERVED RESULT
Growing cache folder

EXPECTED RESULT
Not endlessly growing cache folder

There is a cache management interface now if you go to Settings - Manage Cached Data. Does that work for you? 

The cache files are generated proxies and the user should handle those.
