Frame numbers in XML

[amindfv at mailbox.org]

I've just noticed that the timeline cursor is actually in terms of frames (e.g. 00:00:00:08 - the last separator is a ':') vs seconds (00:00:00.334 - the last separator is a '.'). This leads me to think Kdenlive is probably using frame numbers internally except for XML file input/output. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks!

For example, the 7th frame in a 24fps clip will be referenced as "00:00:00.292" (which is rounded) whereas earlier versions of Kdenlive would have just said "7".
