error popup window

SUMMARY
Everytime I open kdenlive I get the same Error popup window saying "The file or folder doesn't exist", I tried even with a vanilla installation (no preferences saved anywhere) and the problem persists

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kdenlive
2. the Error popup windows shows up
3. hit "OK" and then the software runs perfectly

OBSERVED RESULT
If I open kdenlive with terminal ".../kdenlive.app/Contents/MacOS/kdenlive" the popup doesn't show up

EXPECTED RESULT
No Error window should pop up.
