--- Comment #3 from MartinG <grons...@gmail.com> ---
Thank you for this - I have spent a few hours trying to find out why my
external proxy clips don't work. 
Below is a workaround that solved my problem of non-working external proxy
clips.

I can confirm this bug (shuffling of external proxy settings) on the following
versions (Fedora Linux):
kdenlive-24.08.3-1.fc40.x86_64
kdenlive-24.12.0-1.fc41.x86_64

In my kdenliverc, I have this:

externalProxyProfile=./;GOPR;./;GOPR;./;GL;./;GH;./;.LRV;./;.MP4;./;.LRV;./;.MP4;GL;.LRV;GX;.MP4;GP;.LRV;GP;.MP4

I have checked that the settings are transferred to the Project Settings when I
create a new project, but realize now that that's where the problem is; in my
project settings, I have eg.

Relative path from clip to proxy: ./;./;./;GX

which is wrong, as "GX" is in fact a prefix. It is all messed up. 

So, if I save the project, and open the .kdenlive project file, I have the
following:

  <property
name="kdenlive:docproperties.externalproxyparams">./;GOPR;./;GOPR;./;GL;./;GH;./;.LRV;./;.MP4;./;.LRV;./;.MP4;GL;.LRV;GX;.MP4;GP;.LRV;GP;.MP4</property>

Looking at the documentation
https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/tips_and_tricks/useful_info/using_camcorder_proxy_clips.html#using-camcorder-proxy-clips
I see that I have also ~/.local/share/kdenlive/externalproxies.rc with this in
it:

GoPro
LRV=./;GOPR;./;GOPR;./;GL;./;GH;./;.LRV;./;.MP4;./;.LRV;./;.MP4;GL;.LRV;GX;.MP4;GP;.LRV;GP;.MP4

But the manual says:
profile name=<proxy_folder> (relative to original clip); <proxy clip prefix>;
<proxy clip suffix>; <original_folder> (relative to proxy file);
<original_clip_prefix>; <original_clip_suffix>

and

GoPro LRV=./;GL;.LRV;./;GX;.MP4;./;GP;.LRV;./;GP;.MP4;./;GOPR;.LRV;./;GOPR;.MP4

So I updated it (actually also changed it, since I have GoPro HERO cameras (GL
proxy to GH origs):

GoPro LRV=./;GL;.LRV;./;GH;.MP4

This also resulted in messed up settings when I open kdenlive and choose New
and look at the Proxy settings. Turns out this file isn't used before I switch
from "Current settings" (where ever they came from?) to "GoPro LRV". Nice.

And it works - when I choose the GoPro GHxxxxxx.MP4 file, it gets marked with
the "P" almost immediately. 

I guess this should also work, not tested yet:
GoPro
LRV=./;GP;.LRV;./;GP;.MP4;./;GL;.LRV;./;GH;.MP4;./;GS;.LRV;./;GS;.360;./;GOPR;.LRV;./;GOPR;.MP4
