Description fnx 2023-12-18 15:34:09 UTC
SUMMARY
When adding an Animation clip in Kdenlive, the default folder is always C:/Users/<user>/Videos/animations/ instead of the folder of project. I'm not sure why the animations should be under Videos in a central folder. At least it should be possible to configure that the current project path is the default.
Since the last selected location is not saved somehow, the folder has to be selected again each time a new Animation is added.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create new Kdenlive project
2. Click on "Create Animation"

OBSERVED RESULT
The folder always defaults to C:/Users/<user>/Videos/animations/

EXPECTED RESULT
There are several possible solutions (as mentioned above). 
 - Remember the last selected folder
 - Add a configuration value for the default folder for Animation files
 - Always default to current project folder

This would help very much in asset and folder management. I support this.
