Hello, this still exists and keeps me questioning every day whether kden is even worth all the trouble im going through. I've been effortlessly working on a new project, maintaining git backups. All of the sudden, it happens again. Reached around 3.7MiB project size and was basically done, opened the project, now I must save tens of thousands of invisible project changes which will end up removing 90% of placed effects, effectively entirely ruining the project. Beside saving the project to different git repo commits (which was useless as it overrides everything anyway), I entirely cleared the kdenlive cache and tried editing the project file (adding in the correct lines) to no use. So basically, I can open the proper version of the project and it shows ALL effects I personally placed, but the second I try to save in any way using kdenlive, the project is gone. So now I gotta keep running the unsaveable git version and the "current" version side by side and manually re-placing everything. Please fix, this makes the app completely unusable :( it seems to be related to project size as i didnt have this for one rather short project. all of my other projects had this shit happen and it always occurs around 4MiB size. I also did a memory scan and tried hard resetting to a previous git version, then re-saving the project in kdenlive under different system conditions although everything outside of kdenlive is running fine.

I open it, there are new invisible changes, I save it, I look at a git diff. notice how I haven't ever touched the project, not a single thing changed but the git diff (and file explorer) show different file sizes literally every time. Maybe another note: When "accepting defeat", notice how when my effects are erased, the git diff doesnt show an overhwleming number of deletions but additions instead. I have no idea what the hell kdenlive is doing under the hood there |
