Description Adam Spiers 2018-11-05 13:01:10 UTC
SUMMARY

Rendering to a filesystem which doesn't have enough disk space will crash silently when the filesystem fills up, with no indication that this was the problem.  Additionally, rendering almost always generates various non-fatal warnings, but in the absence of an explanation for the crash, users are likely to assume that one of the warnings indicated the cause for the crash, leading them on a wild goose chase.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load a large project
2. Ensure you have a filesystem with very little free space left
3. Start a render with the output file on that filesystem

OBSERVED RESULT

Rendering crashes with no explanation that the filesystem hit 100% usage.

EXPECTED RESULT

The software spots that the filesystem filled up, and suggests to the user that this is probably the cause for the crash.  IIUC it can't guarantee this is definitely the cause, but that's OK, it doesn't need to.

SOFTWARE VERSIONS

kdenlive version: 18.04.3
KDE Plasma version: 5.12.5
Qt version: 5.9.4

I can’t test this. I add a flag for further investigation.
