[Kdenlive-devel] New small developer

[Henrikki Almusa]

Hi all,

I'm a small time user of kdenlive. I have used it to do few reports of 
miniature wargames. I have done 6 different videos at the moment. You 
can find them from youtube (user henafoo) if interested.

For my coding background I use perl and bash and a bit of python in my 
day job (bioinformatician). I have done work with c for emboss (a longer 
time back), which is a sequence analysis package 
(http://emboss.sourceforge.org). Also I have dabbled a bit with java. 
I'm currently reading through a c++ book 'C++ Annotations' and was 
interested in getting some real world understanding. Thus this lead me 
to get kdenlive code and check out some bug reports. So I'm quite a 
beginner with c++ as well as kdenlive code.

This all said, I saw a bug 3197 and decided to try to apply myself for 
this, since the bug is so well described.

The patch I created is attached, it is against the git master. It seems 
to work as after this it does not crash and saves the screen grab (with 
or without offsets). I don't have firewire possibility for testing.

I might have up to hour or two per week to do very simple bug hunting. 
Is there a preferred way of submitting patches? I would certainly be 
happy to learn more c++ so comments on this and/or hopefully future 
patches are more than welcome.

Thanks,
