SUMMARY
Hi!

I'd like to suggest moving settings and preferences from "~/.local/share/kdenlive" to "~/.config/kdenlive". Preferences such as shortcuts, export presets, effects presets, LUTs, titles, library, lumas[, and profiles?] — essentially, things that the user can customize and would like to take with them from system to system.

From what I've read, "~/.config" is the preferred place for preferences in the Linux world, analogous to "~/Library/Preferences" on macOS, and I've checked myself that most apps I have installed do indeed store their preferences in "~/.config", so it makes it much easier to backup preferences if they are all in one place.

Does that make sense?
