SUMMARY
***
I've noticed there's no way to have multiple projects open within Kdenlive instead of having to start new instances, where you can hopefully share clips/effects back and forth.  Would hopefully be a useful feature for more robust PCs.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open file 1
2. Open file 2
3. ???
4. PROFIT

OBSERVED RESULT

When opening the second file after the first file, Kdenlive seemingly clears the first file completely out of cache to deal with the second file.

EXPECTED RESULT

When opening the second file after the first file, Kdenlive could push first file into a new tab, similar to how Krita works with opening multiple files.
