Bug 456346

Hello,

I have a kdenlive project with video clips from multiple source directories. Some of these video clips have the same filename, but are located in different source directories. Rendering works fine on the PC on which I created the project.

Then I wanted to transfer the whole project to another PC using the "Archive Project" function of kdenlive. Creating the archive folder works without any errors, but when I try to open the archived project on the 2nd PC kdenlive reports missing files.

Example:

On the source PC:
Project with video clips "C:\Users\xy\videos\folder1\clip.mkv" and "C:\Users\xy\videos\folder2\clip.mkv". Then use the archive project tool from kdenlive. Let's assume we put everything on a USB drive.

On the target PC:
Load the archived project from the USB drive. Kdenlive then complains while loading the project that it cannot find the video clip named "clip_0.mkv". Looking into the USB drive I can confirm, that there is "clip.mkv" but the other file with the same source name (which should have been renamed by kdenlive) is missing.

Summary:
- Creating an archived project forgets to copy video clips having the same name as other video clips in the project.
- Opening an archived project fails due to missing files. You can see that the archived kdenlive project file contains correct references to the renamed filenames (it expects to find "clip.mkv" and "clip_0.mkv") but the renamed files (in this example: "clip_0.mkv") are not copied into the archive folder.

Hope that helps to fix that bug :)
