I've noticed at times when I'm looking to replace a clip with a similar one in the timeline, I right-click on the clip, then click "Clip in Project Bin", where it opens the clip in the clip monitor. However, the in-out zone points aren't what the clip's in-out points are. If it would be possible that, when you open a clip in the "Project Bin" (although it actually opens up in the clip monitor -- maybe it would be more appropriate to change the text to something like "Open Source Clip"?), it would open the clip in the project monitor, but the in-out zone points would match that of the clip as it is in the timeline? So, when a clip is inserted into the timeline with specific in-out zone points, re-opening it from the timeline to the project bin would open it in the clip monitor with the same in-out zone points? Would just be a nice benefit, instead of seeking for those in-out points again. Reproducible: Always Suggested while using the latest Kdenlive git master build from Kubuntu-ci/unstable ppa.
Looks like this has been implemented in the latest git master build, and it works great! One bug, however. When you insert the same clip from Project Bin multiple times in the timeline - each with different in and out zone points - the in-out zones don't show correctly. Steps to reproduce: (1) Set in and out zone points for a clip in Clip Monitor, then add to timeline. (2) Set different in and out zone points for that same clip in clip monitor, then insert that clip with new zone points at a different place in the timeline. (3) Right-click on the first clip inserted, then select "Clip in Project Bin". It shows in the Clip Monitor with the proper in-out zone points. (4) Go back to the timeline, then right-click on the clip that was added later with different in-out zone points. Result: it keeps the in-out zone points of the first clip inserted, not the second. Keep in mind I'm talking about working with the same clip/video file from the Project Bin the entire time, not different clips/video files.

Confirmed that this works in the latest git master build of kdenlive. Thanks JB! Marking as resolved/fixed.
