Auto Save

../../_images/file-management_auto-save_2508.webp

Green square top right: Auto save is ongoing

Auto-save files are generated according to the settings in Menu ‣ Settings ‣ Configure Kdenlive ‣ Misc see Misc (default is every 60 seconds and/or 25 operations). This is where you can switch it on or off.

Creating a backup file is offered the first time after you open the project again in case the auto save is newer than the version of the last saved project file.

Auto-save files are stored in the stalefiles folder:

File / Folder

linux: ~/.cache/stalefiles/kdenlive/
windows: %LocalAppData%\stalefiles\kdenlive\
apple: ~/Library/Caches/stalefiles/kdenlive/
