If you just delete that file, kdenlive should restore it with the actually correct values from the compiled in setttings for the pre-defined profiles that it ships with. > Turns out this file isn't used before I switch from "Current settings" (where > ever they came from?) ... "Current settings" are the last values you used in those fields (taken from the setting in kdenliverc), when those don't correspond to a named profile (because you can put whatever custom thing you like in there to suit the structure of a given project. You don't have to define a named profile for something you will only use once in one project. > ... to "GoPro LRV". And when you select a named profile it uses the setttings saved in externalproxies.rc So I'm glad that finding this helped you figure it all out, but there isn't really any magic workaround ... While this bug persists, if you try to use the edit profile dialog it will create a corrupted profile in externalproxies.rc If you then try to use that, it will remember the last used settings (bogus or not) in kdenliverc (and save them to your project file). The only way to add or edit new profiles until this is fixed is to manually edit the externalproxies.rc file - and so long as you never try to edit them in the app dialog, the contents of that file is initially created correctly and will not become corrupted. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
