[Kdenlive-devel] New small developer

[Vincent Pinon]

Hello Henrikki,

I just tested your patch and pushed it to repo.
Thanks a lot for your contribution, and welcome in project!
Indeed diving into the bug tracker is now the best thing to do.

Sorry for the long delay, I hope it did not alter your motivation ;-)
