This can be usefull when trying multiple versions of Kdenlive... i use this every day to test the nightly builds
the script is very easy... it's just deleting folders/files Kdenlive related

LAUNCHING THIS SCRIPT WILL DESTROY KDENLIVE
INSTALLATION AND ALL SAVED PREFERENCES AND CUSTOM PROFILES
(BE SURE TO NOT HAVE PERSONAL PROJECTS SAVED ON KDENLIVE FOLDERS)



the script is here:

waiting for suggestions and modifications to do...

new update for december, added these 5 lines:

Code: Select all

del %LOCALAPPDATA%\knewstuff3\*.* /s /q   
del %LOCALAPPDATA%\kxmlgui5\*.* /s /q   
del %LOCALAPPDATA%\kdeglobals /s /q   
RMDIR /Q/S "%LOCALAPPDATA%\knewstuff3"
RMDIR /Q/S "%LOCALAPPDATA%\kxmlgui5"

this fix the tool bar when new editing tools are not displayed. ( kxmlgui5\kdenlive\kdenliveui.rc )

Dear Bartaloni!
Thank you very much for this bat. file!
I ruined the multimedia accelerator selection and I had to reinstall the KdenLive program (Standalone mode) in Windows.
It works very well!
Many many thanks,
Akos (atotya)

Thank you
