Cannot use newly downloaded wipes.

Fri Dec 27, 2019 8:27 am
OK, I am trying to get to grips with Kdenlive 19.10 but it keeps defeating me. I keep having to return to 18.04 via appimage because... it works.

Still trying, mind. I have installed masses of extra wipes (took me ages to find out how in 19.10!) but when I go to 'Wipe method' there are only the defaults. Nothing added.

What am I missing? Many thanks. I am finding the new Kdenlive... difficult... to relate so I would appreciate the help in adjusting. I know I can;t stay on 18.04 forever.

Running under KDE Neon use edition - as Kdenlive friendly as you can get.

***ADDITIONAL***

After posting I thought of a test. I logged in as another user and installed various wipes through that.
Worked fine! So this is something to do with my user config. I haven't a clue what but with the customisation I have under this user I do not really want to have to start over with an all new config for one setting! including wine app installs.

Soooo... over to the experts!
Thanks.

OK, I've fudged it. Checking Kdenlive out as another user gave me the clue.

After hunting through various folders I confirmed that my wipes were being loaded to:
/home/lmc/.local/share/kdenlive/lumas/

But Kdenlive was looking for them in:
/usr/share/kdenlive/lumas/

So I had to set permissions and then copy over the wipes files.

Weird. But at least I have my wipes (back.)

Can anyone explain how this happened and how to stop this in the future? There must be a text file to edit somewhere.

Cheers.
