shell output from executing new appimage

Kdenlive version 25.04.1-x86_64 reported that a new version was available. I went to the download page and downloaded kdenlive-25.08.3-x86_64.Appimage.
I set the permissions to rwxrwxrwx, and executed the file from the shell. It started the new version. 
However, when I use the Mint application menu and select Kdenlive, it starts the old version.

Attached is the output from the shell from when I executed the new appimage.

Please note that the appimage is NOT an installer program. It is a standalone, fully functional version of Kdenlive that has everything in its belly that is required to work. You did the right thing making it executable, run it, and it worked.

You need to point the Linux Mint application menu to the appimage file if you want to be able to run Kdenlive as an appimage from the application menu of your distro.
