Bug ID: 456346
Summary: Missing files in project archive if project contains
multiple videos with same filename
Product: kdenlive
Version: 22.04.2
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: p...@adrian-zinke.de
CC: had...@danisch.de, j...@kdenlive.org
Depends on: 421567
Target Milestone: ---
Hello,
I have a kdenlive project with video clips from multiple source directories.
Some of these video clips have the same filename, but are located in different
source directories. Rendering works fine on the PC on which I created the
project.
Then I wanted to transfer the whole project to another PC using the "Archive
Project" function of kdenlive. Creating the archive folder works without any
errors, but when I try to open the archived project on the 2nd PC kdenlive
reports missing files.
Example:
On the source PC:
Project with video clips "C:\Users\xy\videos\folder1\clip.mkv" and
"C:\Users\xy\videos\folder2\clip.mkv". Then use the archive project tool from
kdenlive. Let's assume we put everything on a USB drive.
On the target PC:
Load the archived project from the USB drive. Kdenlive then complains while
loading the project that it cannot find the video clip named "clip_0.mkv".
Looking into the USB drive I can confirm, that there is "clip.mkv" but the
other file with the same source name (which should have been renamed by
kdenlive) is missing.
Summary:
- Creating an archived project forgets to copy video clips having the same name
as other video clips in the project.
- Opening an archived project fails due to missing files. You can see that the
archived kdenlive project file contains correct references to the renamed
filenames (it expects to find "clip.mkv" and "clip_0.mkv") but the renamed
files (in this example: "clip_0.mkv") are not copied into the archive folder.
Hope that helps to fix that bug :)
