SUMMARY

When trying to archive my project kdenlive is reporting a missing clip.
I attached a screenshot of the window. It's under others, but it appears just as a trash bin. I'm not aware of any missing file. Trying to archive the project anyway, the process continues without problems for video, audio and images, but when it gets to "others" it says that a similar file named {path}/others/ already exists. Trying to provide a new name doesn't work either.

I tried to look at the project file xml but I wasn't able to find anything.

I don't know if it has to do with my issue, but I created the project with ver. 20.12.3 and then updated to 20.04.0.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the project
2. Trying to archive

OBSERVED RESULT

Archiving fails trying to archive a non existent "other" kind of clip

EXPECTED RESULT

Other should not exist.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

I tried to archive other projects created with previous versions of kdenlive and in all cases I get the same error.
This don't happen if I try to archive a project made with kdenlive 21.04.
At this point it seems to me that it must be a problem with how the new version of kdenlive handles "something" of the old projects.

Could you try with the nightly AppImage? Therein are even more archive bugs fixed. So you could test if your old archives are open and save properly.

Tested on kdenlive-21.07.70, seems to be working fine now.
I didn't think about trying the latest build. I will next time before submitting a bug.
Thank you.

No problem. Thank you for the feedback. Glad to hear it works.
