Bug 502094

Currently, the work with image sequences in Kdenlive faces several shortcomings:

- It's cumbersome to refresh already loaded image sequences to take into account changes in the duration of the sequence.
(currently, you have to double click the clip in the Project Bin to reopen the "Add Image Sequence" dialog, forcing a refresh*).
* perhaps a line about that could be included in the manual, to guide users on that matter.

- You can't use the "Replace Clip" option to effectively replace an image sequence in the Project bin. 
(perhaps if the "Add Image Sequence" dialog still showed all of the initial settings present when creating the sequence in first place, this could be a way for users to be able to replace it with another sequence).
...I'd still prefer to just be able to replace a sequence, like with any other video clip, though.
* I've already filed a bug (#488648) about replacing image sequences some months ago, so that one could now be closed, as it's included in this one.

- There's no way to access the sequence's image Properties panel, to control and change things like pixel aspect ratio, field order, frame rate, color space, color range, etc. as you would with any other video file or image. 
That's a blow, especially for people working with non-square pixel aspect ratio images or interlaced images.


In short, anything that could be done to improve the handling of image sequences inside Kdenlive would be important, to be able to give a better user experience when editing things like 3D animations or other post production assets, that usually come in that format .
I know all of those inconveniences most probably originate in the way Kdenlive treats sequences as image presentations, so I guess there's so much that can be done to solve them, without actually reworking image sequences handling inside the program altogether.

Thanks for listening!
