SUMMARY When opening projects that contain sequences of images, Kdenlive will complain that the sequences are missing and show the dialogue that lets you search for the sequences. Even when the dialogue is pointing to the correct directory, Kdenlive will be unable to find the sequence. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a project containing a sequence of images. OBSERVED RESULT Kdenlive will be unable to find the sequence and show a dialogue to help the user find it in their tree of directories. EXPECTED RESULT As long as the sequence has not been moved or deleted, Kdenlive should open the project without a problem. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.9.11-2-MANJARO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION There is a workaround: ignore the offer to search for the sequence and click on "Use placeholders for missing clips". This will load the project correctly.
Thanks for your report. I am unable to reproduce. Could you attach the .kdenlive project file, or at least part of it (if you open it in a text editor), look for something like this, it is what I need to understand (a <producer> tag with the property "resource" pointing to your image sequence folder): ______________________________________________________________ <producer id="producer0" in="00:00:00.000" out="00:01:04.960"> <property name="length">00:01:05.000</property> <property name="eof">pause</property> <property name="resource">/home/$USER/Pictures/.all.jpg</property> <property name="ttl">125</property> <property name="aspect_ratio">1</property> <property name="progressive">1</property> <property name="seekable">1</property> <property name="meta.media.width">1920</property> <property name="meta.media.height">419</property> <property name="mlt_service">qimage</property> <property name="kdenlive:clipname">Image Sequence</property> <property name="animation"/> <property name="luma_file"/> <property name="luma_duration">25</property> <property name="fade">0</property> <property name="crop">0</property> <property name="softness">0</property> <property name="loop">0</property> <property name="kdenlive:duration">00:01:05.000</property> <property name="kdenlive:folderid">-1</property> <property name="kdenlive:id">2</property> <property name="kdenlive:file_hash">c18a94ecfeef4666987215cf3d945a67</property> <property name="global_feed">1</property> </producer> -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm, everything looks normal in that part of the xml. Could you mail me or attach the full project file and a screenshot of the dialog saying the sequence is missing ?
Created attachment 133853 [details] Kdenlive file with imagesequence File giving the error. I have reproduced this in other files too.
Created attachment 133854 [details] Missing files dialogue
