I just found another way to remedy this, which much less cumbersome that the one I described in posting #8.  You must deceive openshot by making it believe that the files are still exactly where they used to be, as follows. 
You create a link towards the new location, and rename it with the exact name of the old one and place it wherever openshot would look for it. 
For example, say that the files where on /home/user_x/videos/directory-1/directory2/ and were moved to /home/user_x/my-openshot-projects/directory-3/directory-4/. First, you create a link towards /home/user_x/my-openshot-projects/directory-3/directory-4/ : under Nautilus, navigate until you are inside "directory-3", click on "directory-4", select in menu edition the command "create a link". This link will be labelled "link to directory-4". Rename it exactly into "directory-2" and move this link towards  /home/user_x/videos/directory-1/.  Thus, whenever openshot will look for the files which used to be in folder  /home/user_x/videos/directory-1/directory2/, it will actually see such a folder, which happens to be a link towards the new folder instead of a real folder.

Title:
  Cannot move project files

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm trying to move my input files for a project from one location to
  another, so I right-click on the input file, select properties, paste
  new path and press Apply - and nothing happens.

  I'd expect that it would save the new location and close, or report an
  error graphically if I did something wrong. There is nothing reported
  in the terminal either.

  New path is "/home/vadi/Videos/OpenShot Projects/park-video-
  oct/title.png"
