SUMMARY

I work on projects both at home and at work. The projects are stored in a shared directory that is sync’d over the net. When I save effects, they do not get saved to the project so when I arrive at my office after working on a project the night before, the effects that I worked on are not available and I get errors when opening the project file.

The effects are stored in

C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\kdenlive\effects

I have to manually copy them from machine to machine which is:

  * A pain
  * Difficult to remember to do
  * Because of this, I actually avoid using saved effects which is not a good thing. Not having project level saving for effects deters me from using this wonderful feature.

I propose that effects/effect stacks be saved at the project level as well as global. Or to be able to choose global, local or both locations when saving.
