MLT profiles folder deletion

Thu Mar 18, 2021 10:02 pm
I was reinstalling kdenlive on linux and in the process I deleted the "kdenlive" folder in "/usr/share/mlt/profiles". I noticed this folder did not get generated after re-install. Did I delete something important?

Thanks

EDIT: I'm not sure if I deleted "/usr/share/mlt/kdenlive" or "/usr/share/mlt/profiles/kdenlive" but now it says default mlt profile folder is "/usr/share/mlt/profiles" and I don't see a "kdenlive" folder.

Hello,

Same thing has happened to me but on Windows, using today's new build #827.

A pop-up box is telling me that it cannot find my MLT profiles, and asking to give the path. What it has is "/usr/local/share/mlt-7/profiles" and to my untrained eye it looks like it is using a Linux file structure.

So I replaced this with "C:\Users\steph\AppData\Local\kdenlive\share\mlt\profiles" and hit OK. Kdenlive has now loaded but what lies ahead? :-)

If you don't hear back from me soon then it's so-far-so-good.

Regards

Steph-en :O)


Too much to write here and I didn't delete the folder, just installed a new build; I will raise a bug report within the Kdenlive app. :-)

I've solved it by entering these commands in Konsole:
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir "/usr/local/share/mlt/"
sudo ln -s "/usr/share/mlt-7" "/usr/local/share/mlt/profiles"
