Hello Kdenlive Team,

Apologies if I'm taking up your time or asking questions that have already
been answered on your website, but I wanted to reach out personally
regarding a few concerns.
The following points are all related to the editing software:
*1. Bug Reporting*

I'm not sure how big the team behind Kdenlive is, so I don’t know if this
is the reason, but my bug report seems to have been completely ignored.
I submitted it on the official Kdenlive bug report website around three
months ago and have yet to receive a response. As I mentioned, this could
be due to team size limitations or higher-priority tasks, but I wanted to
bring it up again. *(Bug ID: 495683)*
*2. Version Saving Incompatibility*

Somehow, I managed to corrupt my save file simply by opening it. Here's
what happened:
I was editing a video for about two hours (on version *24.08.2*) and wanted
to add an audio spectrogram filter to the master effects. To check my
settings, I opened another project file that was saved in an older Kdenlive
version (*22.04.2*).

It turns out that opening an older version does not actually convert or
update it to the newer version, despite what the software states. When I
attempted to open the master effects tab, Kdenlive crashed. This crash also
corrupted my other project (the one in version *24.08.2*) even though they
were unrelated. The crash persists no matter what I try, and examining the
file does not reveal any solutions. Additionally, Kdenlive does not provide
any crash logs or error messages regarding this issue.

I believe there should either be an option to manually convert or upgrade
project files or a fix for this issue to prevent data loss.
------------------------------

Again, I apologize if I am asking about something that has already been
addressed. However, since I couldn’t even get an assigned assistant for my
bug report, I decided to reach out via email.

There are a few other minor inconveniences, but those are more personal
preferences, so I’ll leave them out for now.


I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,
Lukas
