Title:
  Directory choices not honoured

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

Bug description:
  When I choose a directory for a project, such as say ~/Videos/project,
  it is not honoured by the software.  When I save the project it is as
  likely to end up in ~/ as where I wanted it.  The same is true of any
  titles I create from within Openshot (and edited in Inkscape), .svg
  files as often as not end up in ~/ instead of my chosen project
  folder.  When I export a video the same is true.  If I manually move
  all the files into ~/Videos/project and reload the project file
  naturally the application complains that the files are no longer
  available.  If I then change the properties of each file to point to
  new location and save (and it would be nice to be able to do this with
  the browser) it seems to make no difference (or is that because it
  saved the project file to ~/?  Do you see the problem?)  I've tried to
  work around by linking the ~/thumbnails directory to
  ~/Videos/project/thumbnails, but that hardly seems right.  It's a
  fairly fundamental fault.

  1) OS ubuntu 12.10 32 bit
  2) Openshot 1.4.3-1
  3) melt 0.8.0-4
