For sure. But for that we need to reach stability. That's what we hope 
to achieve with the 18.08 release.

Done, 2 audio tracks and 2 video tracks by default now.
Disabling the automatic separation will not be possible anymore. However 
I also find it annoying to have that issue. Maybe we can find a way to 
make it more flexible, we need to think about it. For example insert 
video only if no audio track is available, or add icons that allow to 
drag only audio part or only video part from the bin or monitor.

Fixed in git now

There is a "cut" entry in the timeline clip context menu to cut a clip 
at razor position (It didn't work I just fixed it)

I cannot reproduce. Will do more tests. You mean you have a project file 
stored in a folder with non standard characters and cannot access the 
content of the folder from the file > open dialog ? Can you copy/paste 
the name of the problematic folder in a mail?

Nice. I did some improvments to limit the annoying "Restart kdenlive 
message" appearing when not necessary.

Currently the easiest way to achieve this is to have all clips stored in 
subfolders of where the project file is stored. The "Project > Archive" 
function was designed to move all used clips in such a folder hierarchy 
but needs to be ported because of all the refactoring changes.

Thanks.
I will upload a new AppImage on sunday with all these fixes for more 
testing.
