[kdenlive] What does "save clip" exactly do?

[Harald Albrecht]

Jean-Baptiste,

thank you very much for explaining it to me!

As you wrote that "save clip" is actually a limited duplicate of "save 
selection" I would like to opt for removing it. Personally, I find two 
very similar options to be confusing, especially when one has 
limitations (only single clip, no more complex selections) the other 
doesn't have.

This now brings me to a new question: are "save selection" and additing 
the selection to the library basically doing the same? Is the former 
saving to an explicit MLT playlist file while the latter is implicitly 
saving to an MLT playlist file inside the library folder?

Best regards,
Harald
