Just to check is the latest Piave installed, or you are running latest piave 
from a console? (in other words, check that your not running an older version 
of piave alongside latest kdenlive)

I have just added some extra debug info around the reading/parsing of data - 
could you checkout the latest code and tell me what it says when you add a 
file? (probably needs ./bootstrap to be run, I've added a few stub classes 
for later development)

KDirWatch is used by the open dialog, it is internal to KDE, not Kdenlive. You 
can safely ignore, I think.

Heh I guess I can :-)

 Myself, I set up a a "video directory" on the quick access navigation panel 
(F9) on the open dialog, so I haven't noticed since how long it takes to 
navigate :-) But I will change it anyway.

Question - should the end directory also be stored in the configuration file 
so that on exiting the program, you return to the previous directory that you 
were working at?

Erm, yes it appears that you have found a bug. I'll look into it right away.

There is no flag at the moment. I leave warning and error messages in place, 
which should pick up any serious errors that occur, and they should always 
show if your using debug builds (I really must start using assert()'s some 
day though) but I tend to remove debug messages once I'm finished with them 
because they generate a *huge* amount of console traffic, and slow kdenlive 
to a crawl.

Cheers,
Jason
