I cannot reproduce this. Kdenlive perfectly loads the last change to the layout (resized about everything). I am on Pop!_OS 22.04 using 24.12.1 (flatpak).

What is your install method for Kdenlive?
Comment 4 Guido 2025-01-20 23:07:52 UTC 
Native package on Manjaro

Ok, could be packaging related then. Have you tried the appimage?

Mmm interesting. The appimage make a mess in my native layout. I fixed it and now it seems to maintain the layout fairly well between restarts. But I have to load the layout in order to have it exactly the same. How do I force kdenlive to load a certain layout at start-up? As first in kdenlive-layoutsrc I already have what I want, but the dimensions of the various elements only came back if I load it explicitly.
