Bug ID: 375717
Summary: v16.12.1 beta for MS Windows: Menu
"Settings/Configure/Environment/Default
folders/Temporary files" default is '/tmp'
Product: kdenlive
Version: 16.12.1
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: rbing...@acm.org
Target Milestone: ---
See apparently related Bug 226344 for Linux environments. For Windows this is
even worse if '/tmp/' is used literally without some hidden translation magic:
Kdenlive functions expecting to create or access temp files or dirs will fail.
In Windows land this default should be expressed in Windows terms:
%USERPROFILE%/something where %USERPROFILE% gives the current user home dir, or
%APPDATA%/Local/Kdenlive/tmp which would give a standard practice location for
a temp dir under %USERPROFILE%, etc.
See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560744(v=ws.10).aspx for
standard Windows env vars that can be used for constructing various reasonable
default paths for Kdenlive out-of-the-box for Windows.
Note I am accepting that right-slash POSIX path notation used elsewhere in the
GUI will be translated for Windows use though this will confuse Widows-only
users.
