Description adgitate 2022-03-12 00:17:37 UTC

SUMMARY
When attempting to render to a network share, the base path is replaced with the local root (C drive).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click Render
2. Type in a full path of the file to create located on a network share. (example \\foo\bar\example.mp4)
3. Click Render to File

OBSERVED RESULT
The video along with the entire folder hierarchy is created on the local root (C drive). 
Note: When the folder is chosen using the "select output destination" button, the resulting path that gets filled in the textbox has the base removed. (example "\\foo\bar\example.mp4" becomes "/bar/example.mp4").

EXPECTED RESULT
Renders to the path specified in the textbox or folder selected using the "select output destination" button.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10
Kdenlive: 21.12.3
