I cannot reproduce this. Kdenlive perfectly loads the last change to the layout (resized about everything). I am on Pop!_OS 22.04 using 24.12.1 (flatpak).

What is your install method for Kdenlive?

Native package on Manjaro

Ok, could be packaging related then. Have you tried the appimage?

Mmm interesting. The appimage make a mess in my native layout. I fixed it and now it seems to maintain the layout fairly well between restarts. But I have to load the layout in order to have it exactly the same. How do I force kdenlive to load a certain layout at start-up? As first in kdenlive-layoutsrc I already have what I want, but the dimensions of the various elements only came back if I load it explicitly.
