Project saving destroys entire projects / mass-deletes effects
see
https://www.reddit.com/r/kdenlive/comments/1b69tls/comment/ktamks9/?context=3
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a day-old project (5.4MiB)
2. Kdenlive by default detects changes on [manually] completely unchanged
projects; do not do anything to the project
3. The project looks how it should; all proxies, effects and timeline parts are
there.
4. save / save as / copy to
OBSERVED RESULT
The project goes from 5.4MiB to 8.3MiB, 11.4MiB when attempting to open and
save the 8.3 version.
When creating copies of copies, every single time the project is saved it seems
to add 2-3MiB, although never have been made any changes to the original / copy
of the original (unchanged) project.
Now for the huge issue:
- 10-20% of all edits are wiped on-save/saveas/copyto. For me this includes
mostly fades and transforms.
- The project is entirely overriden. I have been using Git VCS for the entirety
of the project and I could observe a sudden 90.000+ modifications on my
UNCHANGED Project!!!
- Some of the modifications seem to include changing entire proxy paths from
"MyResource" to "MySystem/UserHome/CustomFolders/MyResource".
- The 2-3h long, fully edited project is unsaveable and therefore unusable.
This happened at the very end of my project creation lifecycle and even my
already reviewed git-ted up project state cannot be saved without jumping back
to 8.4MiB.
This has existed for the entirety of my time using Kdenlive, i.e. minimum 1
year.
EXPECTED RESULT
- Project is saved
- Project after being saved has identical size
- No changes exist between the two project versions
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.27 x86_64
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 5.27.10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Attempted resolutions:
- "Save As", "Save", "Copy To" for basically all the steps below
- resetting project states to different states, up to months ago and retrying
the entire process
- resetting Kdenlive config and retrying everything
- rebooting and retrying everything
- killing Kdenlive entirely and retrying everything
- upgrading from 08.4 to 08.5 and retrying everything
- restoring old Kdenlive configs and retrying everything
- clearing the entirety of the cache multiple times between multiple named
steps and retrying everything
- re-proxying everything between multiple named steps and retrying everything
