Comment 1 Bernd 2026-02-09 21:24:27 UTC 
Since release 25.12 the layout is saved as part of the .kdenlive project file. If you want to preserve a layout as your default even for new projects, you need to save it via Menu > View > Save Layout.

See this part of the 25.12 release notes: https://kdenlive.org/news/releases/25.12.0/#docking-system
