Running Kdenlive with Windows 10.

Why are there so many Kdenlive processes active after the application is shut down? Currently the task manager is showing 9 processes still running.

Couldn't upload an image so I added a URL.

This is still a bug, even in Kdenlive 17.08.2. Close/shut down the processes manually.

I've been doing that. It's a pain to have to do it manually.

Pain? just create a ".BAT" ... place these lines on it:

Code: Select all

taskkill /IM "kioslave.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "kdenlive.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "dbus-daemon.exe" /T /F
wmic process where name='kdenlive.exe' delete
wmic process where name='kioslave.exe' delete
wmic process where name='dbus-daemon.exe' delete

and execute as Administrator to kill everything

Brilliant. Works great. Thanks.

updated... on latest version of Windows 10 i can't kill processes using ONLY taskkill.. i have upodate the BATCH:

Code: Select all

taskkill /IM "kioslave.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "kdenlive.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "dbus-daemon.exe" /T /F
wmic process where name='kdenlive.exe' delete
wmic process where name='kioslave.exe' delete
wmic process where name='dbus-daemon.exe' delete

wmic process where name='kioslave.exe' delete
wmic process where name='dbus-daemon.exe' delete

This works even better.

Now if only bug # 386281 could be fixed as easily.

this not fix the bug i hope that on 18.04 these processes will finally closed when exiting the app

First I should let you know that there is no "kioslave.exe" in kdenlive 19.08.3. Now it is "kioslave5.exe". So, now the code looks like this:

Code: Select all

taskkill /IM "kioslave5.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "kdenlive.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "dbus-daemon.exe" /T /F
wmic process where name='kdenlive.exe' delete
wmic process where name='kioslave.exe' delete
wmic process where name='dbus-daemon.exe' delete

But, unfortunately, this is not working. On the basis of the existing batch file, I made another one:

Code: Select all

taskkill /IM "kioslave5.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "kdenlive.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "dbus-daemon.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "gpgme-w32spawn.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "ffplay.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "ffprobe.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "ffmpeg.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "melt.exe" /T /F
taskkill /IM "kdenlive_render.exe" /T /F
wmic process where name='kdenlive.exe' delete
wmic process where name='kioslave5.exe' delete
wmic process where name='dbus-daemon.exe' delete
wmic process where name='gpgme-w32spawn.exe' delete
wmic process where name='ffplay.exe' delete
wmic process where name='ffprobe.exe' delete
wmic process where name='ffmpeg.exe' delete
wmic process where name='melt.exe' delete
wmic process where name='kdenlive_render.exe' delete

This is also not working. Now, tell me what should I do?! To me the last resort is, delete the folder and clean the registry entries related to kdenlive. But, it should not be the actual process. I don't know what processes are running because I couldn't find any help file regarding that. So, if you people, who are much more experienced with kdenlive and the developer himself, can put some light on it, I think many users like me will be grateful.

Regards.

kioslave5, dbus-daemon and gpgme are "daemons", which provide *light* services that are supposed to be shared across app instances and various apps. The fact that they remain active is not a bug but expected (the only problem is when you want to delete the files).
kdenlive.exe remaining active after close was a Qt bug, that is fixed by a downstream patch in Craft package (but cannot be merged as not very clean & general), that we use for 2 years.
