when i run openshot i am able to import a file one time only.

Hi,

Dont use the build wizard but better the PPA. (http://www.openshot.org/ppa/)

Could you run it in a console and put us the result here ?

@Jonathan
we should remove it (the build wizard ) like we have the PPA now.

@jloius
NB : Si tu veux parler français, cela ne me pose aucun probleme.

Me too on 11.10 (v. 1.4.0)

A idea :
Try to remove the hidden Openshot folder.by
rm .openshot
It will be rebuild at the next start of Openshot.

Ok i have the exact same problem and i know why.

Recently, the open file dialog in gnome changed a bit, now, by defaut, when you want to add a file, the recently used category is showed in the open filedialog.

It's an issue because we want to retrieve the last used directory when we open a file, and if we pick the file from the recently used files, then the last used directory is not set, producing an error the next time you wan't to add a file.

I have attached the branch that fixes this issue by stringifying None before storing it. None is returned by get_current_folder for virtual "Recent Files List".

Okay I put it in the actual milestone instead of the next. She 'll be included in after to be approved.
Thanks.

This is now fixed in the trunk.
