<span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Hi Lukas,</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">thanks for reaching out! The team size is indeed the problem why we unfortunately have very long response times to bug reports.</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Given that we are for the most part volunteers working in our free time and the size of the user base, the scope and popularity of the app we simply have not enough capacity to deal with everything we would need to.</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">(We are always looking for new contributors. Your issue perfectly illustrates that you do not need to write code, triaging bugs for example would a huge help too)</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">For your point 2.: this is a bug. Kdenlive should convert old projects correctly hence please report it. There are some tips on how to get a crash log (backtrace) on this page https://kdenlive.org/en/bug-reports/</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">However please also try with the latest version ie. 24.12.x</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">BTW I suspect the root cause under the hood might be something else for the crash, because one project corrupting another completely unrelated project is unlikely.</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">I hope that helps,</span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Julius</span>

<span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:125%;">Hello Kdenlive Team,</span></span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">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.</span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">The following points are all related to the editing software:</span>
<br>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><b><span style="font-size:125%;"><u>1. Bug Reporting</u></span></b></span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">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.</span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">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. <i>(Bug ID: 495683)</i></span>
<br>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><b><span style="font-size:125%;"><u>2. Version Saving Incompatibility</u></span></b></span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Somehow, I managed to corrupt my save file simply by opening it. Here's what happened:</span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">I was editing a video for about two hours (on version <b>24.08.2</b>) 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 (<b>22.04.2</b>).</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">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 <b>24.08.2</b>) 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.</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">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.</span>
<br>
<br>
<hr>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">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.</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">There are a few other minor inconveniences, but those are more personal preferences, so I’ll leave them out for now.</span>
<br>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">I'm looking forward to hearing from you!</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Best regards,</span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Lukas</span>
