I just noticed that. It is not transparent since Kdenlive used the .dat 
files to know which filters were installed on the user's system so that 
it only displayed the available ones.

I am currently trying to find a way to retrieve the filter's names from 
the repository...

Yes, I think for the KDE4 version, it would be great to be able to 
automatically retrieve filters parameters description so that the XML 
effects files can be automatically built from mlt's infos.
