Bug 499171

Thank you for reporting.
I followed your video and what I see is that you have two points/dots in the file name … 182753272.Ts.mp4 (.Ts.mp4). Maybe that could be the issue. Rename the file to … 182753272-Ts.mp4 and try again. If that is not working, can you upload the mlt file so I can test.

Thanks for your response. YES!
I tried the rename and it solved the issue.

However thinking I might write a user story about the naming conventions 
handling native file names as there is no predictability on how devices 
name their files natively. The fact that users may not know to rename 
files on import, could present a feature function issue. Out of interest 
here is a directory with the native Google Pixel naming convention.
Certainly! Here's a more professional version:

I am considering writing a user story addressing the handling of native 
file names, as there is currently no predictability in how devices name 
their files. This unpredictability could lead to feature functionality 
issues, particularly if users are unaware of the need to rename files 
upon import.

Devices often use detailed naming conventions to include metadata such 
as timestamps, which can result in file names with multiple periods.
Samsung Galaxy Series: Samsung devices often use detailed file naming 
conventions for their media files.
Sony Xperia Series: Sony Xperia smartphones are known for their 
intricate file naming structures.
OnePlus Devices: OnePlus smartphones also tend to use complex file 
naming conventions.

For reference, here is a directory showcasing the native Google Pixel 8 
naming convention.

Thank you for the feedback. I set the issue to “confirmed”. Feel free to update this bug with a user story so we have all together. We have to check if device file naming in general is an issue on other places as well.

I can change the title of this bug and change it to wishlist once you have uploaded the user story.

Thanks Jefferey for your detailed report. In fact the bug has nothing to do with file names, but is a problem with library clips incorrect handling of proxy clips. Took me a while to reproduce and understand.

Problem happens if you do the following from a blank project:
* Add a clip to bin, proxy it and put it in timeline.
* Save project in the same folder as source clip (or a parent folder)
* Close project
* Reopen project
* Create the library clip from the proxied timeline clip
* Then the created library clip will refuse to expand.

I am working on a fix, thanks

Correctly fix path for proxied clip inside a playlist clip like in library
Existing playlist clip will still have the bug, only newly created playlist clips will work fine
