Description kdedk 2021-12-27 09:04:47 UTC

SUMMARY
Mention paths for the DaSiam AI model for the Flatpak variant of Kdenlive in
https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/effects_and_compositions/effect_groups/alpha_manipulation/motion_tracker.html?highlight=motion%20tracker#id2

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/effects_and_compositions/effect_groups/alpha_manipulation/motion_tracker.html?highlight=motion%20tracker#id2
2. Follow the instructions for downloading and saving the files for DaSiam AI.


OBSERVED RESULT

3. Kdenlive + DaSiam does not work because  the files are in the wrong location.

EXPECTED RESULT

3. The files are in the correct location because in 2. you get the information that with Flatpak, the files have to be in $HOME/.var/app/org.kde.kdenlive/data/kdenlive/opencvmodels and not in $HOME/.local/share/kdenlive/opencvmodels.

I close this bug as the Flatpak issue is fixed.

Feel free to reopen this bug or create a new report if this is still happening with the latest Kdenlive version (https://kdenlive.org/en/download/)

While the bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447348 is about Kdenlive (Flatpak) DaSiam is not working if the files are in the correct location ($HOME/.var/app/org.kde.kdenlive/data/kdenlive/opencvmodels), this issue is about the documentation that tells you to save the files in $HOME/.local/share/kdenlive/opencvmodels, even if it is the wrong location because you are using Flatpak. 

So this are two different issues.
This means that this issue is still relevant even if  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447348 is fixed.
To be sure I tested this again with the latest Kdenlive Flatpak release: If the files are in the location the documentation tells you ($HOME/.local/share/kdenlive/opencvmodels), it is still not working. If they are in the correct Flatpak location, it is working ($HOME/.var/app/org.kde.kdenlive/data/kdenlive/opencvmodels). So the issue with the documentation is missing the information about the different path in Flatpak is still existent.

 Ooh, I see. Thanks for the hint. I added the Flatpak path in the documentation.
