My problem is as stated above, but once the working folder is moved and
you get the error on opening the project that certain files no longer
exist, right clicking them to select properties does not work.  Nothing
happens.  In fact, you can't get right click > Properties to work for
any file in the project once this happens.  You have to re-import the
files, place them back on the time line and then click "save as", to
create a new saved project.  In effect, you have to recreate the entire
project.  Trying to do a "save", does not work.  Clicking on the "Save"
icon, does not generate an error message, so you think it's saving, but
it isn't.  If you try to close the program you get stuck in and endless
loop of "Do you want to save the project?" Click yes, and try to close
and it asks the same question again.  If you tell it no, the program
will close, on reopening that project, none of the files you just re-
imported and placed on the time line will be there and all the error
messages about missing files will return.

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"
