ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Thanks for your report! Please update to the latest version (20.12.3 at the moment, https://kdenlive.org/en/download/), test again and update this report.

Please not that in general you should avoid to use colon (":") in filenames. I guess that the colon is maybe the cause for the trouble and at least for windows filenames with a colon are not valid.

Please try to remove the colon and tell us if you still have the same problem
Comment 2 gerrytrevis@gmail.com 2021-04-09 20:34:32 UTC
I reported a bug specifically related to having a colon in the filename and that seemed to be resolved so it's not supposed to be the colon that is the problem

Just downloaded the lastest appimage and ran it. Same situation
Comment 4 gerrytrevis@gmail.com 2021-05-08 23:48:20 UTC
The problem seems to be the question mark. That's what I experienced today. It wouldn't even let me delete the clip I had
Comment 5 Julius Künzel 2021-05-09 12:33:28 UTC
Thanks for the hint! If I try to import a file with a question mark in the name Kdenlive tells me that the file is invalid file and doesn't load it. Don't you get this message? How have you imported the clip?
Comment 6 gerrytrevis@gmail.com 2021-05-09 21:45:00 UTC
I just tried with the appimage I believe it is Version 20.12.3. Let's me import without any warnings and just doesn't allow me to resize the image at all.
Comment 7 gerrytrevis@gmail.com 2021-05-09 21:46:21 UTC
I think but haven't tried, that if the ? comes first it might give a warning. My question marks aren't at the beginning of the file name.
Comment 8 erjiang 2022-05-01 03:54:49 UTC
I was able to add and manipulate a PNG with that filename without any issues, using the latest master version. Was not able to reproduce this bug. (Ubuntu 20.04)
Comment 9 emohr 2022-05-01 08:52:11 UTC
Under Windows it's not possible to have file names containing "?" of ":". I tried on 22.04 a PNG with your long name (except the ? and :) and I could lengthen the PNG in the timeline.
Comment 10 Bernd 2024-12-24 01:18:00 UTC
Hi and thank you for your patience.

Your bug report was for a version of Kdenlive that is at least four years old. Can you please check whether this issue still exists in the latest version 24.12.0?

If yes, please update this report to reflect the new version and set the status to CONFIRMED.

If it works now like you expect it would, you may change the status of this report to RESOLVED - FIXED.

At any rate, this report will be closed if there is no activity for the next 30 days.
