It would be really nice if I could open a video file with kdenlive, i.e., select a video file in the operating system file browser and say Open with kdenlive and kdenlive would setup a project with the same properties as the video file and add the video file to the clip bin. This would be super convenient for making quick edits to video files, e.g., when I want to cut parts of something I shot with my phone. Right now on Ubuntu, I have to start kdenlive from the system Start menu or from a desktop icon, then do "Add clip or folder" and find the video file in the file open dialog. Doing all this with a right click on the video file would be really smooth.
You know you can drag supported media files from the file manager of your choice to the Kdenlive project bin? I get that you want an even more straightforward method but with drag and drop you avoid the navigation in the file open dialog ...

You're right, this makes things simpler. I didn't think of it because drag and drop is a bit of a drag :) but I'm gonna start doing it this way.
