KDEnLive - how to get a stable version

Hi,

KDEnLive was working for a while but now I cannot even import a clip, it freeze while not activity is shown on Ksysguard.

My config:
- using kde environment
- kdenlive-15.08.0-2
- ffmpeg-1:2.8-1
- processor: Phenom x6 1055T
- Ram: 12Gb
- SSD drive

Package was not updated so I guess I need to delete some directories, I tried:
$HOME/kdenlive

But did not work.

Any idea?

Openshot and cinelerra seem to work properly on my system but I feel kdenlive is the right balance between simple/possibilities.

Openshot is too limited while cinelerra is too complex.

kdenlive was having some issue with  ProjectMonitor performance.

I could not find any specific kdenlive wiki page for Archlinux.

Thx

Importing clips works fine here, is there any indicative output if you launch kdenlive from terminal? There's also the update to 15.08.1 which has many fixes so waiting for that or enabling [testing] to get it now may also help.

Nothing. Only message at startup

Is there some folders/files I should clean somewhere?

Yes, kdenlive stores some files inside your home directory.

find ~/ -iname "*kdenlive*"

Thanks

I cleaned all of them, reinstall the package and now everything looks back to normal.
