--- Comment #8 from Robert <rob...@robertelder.org> --- Hi, I just did a test to delete one of the solid colour clips with one of the clips that I have trouble with. I then saved it, closed kdenlive, then re-opened the file with no problems. Then, I made 0 modifications and 'saved as' the file again with another name. I then did a diff of the two 'idential' project files and found some of the xml tags moved around, but the content was the same. Then, I re-opened the latest project file and cut the offending clip into 3 major sections, deleted off a couple slices, and re-arranged the last clip so it was in the middle two on the end. Then I saved this file as '6.kdenlive'. Then, I found something interesting: If I open 6.kdenlive, then make no modifications, save as to 7.kdenlive, I can see what I think are functional differences in the 'children' section. See attached two files as an example (do a vim -d on them). Note that I can still load the project and it looks fine at this point as I can still edit/watch everything, but it seems fishy that these number are changing. I just did a re-open of 6.kdenlive and saved it as '7-again.kdenlive' which is idential to 7.kdenlive so at least it might be a deterministic change? Actually, after staring at the diff for a bit, I can see that the change affect the 'kdenlive:docproperties.groups' JSON array by re-arranging the order of the objects. I don't know enough about kdenlive internals to know if that is really a functional difference or not, but it certainly doesn't make reproducibility easier. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
