SUMMARY
Windows does not know how to open a file with the kdenlive file extension. No file association is created for the kedenlive app at installation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a project in KdenLive and save it as a kdenlive file. Ex "My Project.kdenlive"
2. Close KdenLive
3. Locate the saved project file and double-click it.

OBSERVED RESULT
Windows asks "What program should I use to open a file like this?" I have to browse to and specify kdenlive.exe. After I do that, double-clicking on the file opens it correctly in KdenLive

EXPECTED RESULT
The project should simply open in KDenlive.
