Bug ID: 412519
Summary: Spammed by "Cannot create autosave file" error
messages
Product: kdenlive
Version: 19.08.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: alexander....@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Autosave does not work if project is placed in directory with long path to that
directory, especially if it contains national alphabet characters.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create directory '/tmp/Поддержка национальных алфавитов? Слишком сложно!'
2. Save project there as "project.kdenlive"
3. Fiddle with project a bit to let Kdenlive notice that there are unsaved
changes that might be lost
OBSERVED RESULT
You will every minute or so get error message "Cannot create autosave file
$HOME/.local/share/stalefiles/kdenlive/VERYLONGSTRING"
EXPECTED RESULT
Well, user should not be pestered with error messages.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.61.0
Qt Version: 5.13.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
According to my tests autosave file is named by pattern "$hash" +
"$url_encoded_path_to_project_dir" + "$a_bit_more_chars". These scheme easily
produces really long filenames! Because filenames under GNU/Linux has to fit in
255 bytes, scheme leads to inability to save file and error messages.
This is especially common problem if one uses national characters in directory
path. For instance russian "Я" becomes "%D0%AF" - 6 bytes, 3x times more than
it takes in original directory path, where project resides.
