I m running kdenlive 17.3 on manjaro and i have a permissions problem:

starting kdenlive it tells me: Document project folder is invalid, using system default folders


and when opening a project, it also cant access the project defined kdenlive folders and falls back saying:


the project directory could not be created.
Please make sure you have the required permissions.
Defaulting to system folders

although all the partitions are mounted and i use them with all the other programs ...

any idea what this could be? kdenlive related or system related ?

What is the output if you run KDEnlive from the terminal?
I am using KDEnlive git on neon/Ubuntu, not having any issues. So this might not be a bug.
