As Dan mentions earlier in this bug thread, MLT can read Kino xml - just
wondered if anyone has verified if importing a Kino project file to
Openshot works as expected.

Bug description:
Hello Jonathan,

I wrote some code to import files from Kino project file. I made it to the same branch where I had made the renaming feature so they are both in this new bzr diff attachment (0.9.52)

----- short description -----
There is one more entry in the Project Files popup menu: Import Kino Project.

Select the Kino project file after which the data concerning the video files are read along with the "in" and "out" points. The files are appended into the current project (if they are not there) and the clips are inserted (anyway) into the first empty track found. If there are not empty tracks one will be created and the clips are appended there.

I have a lot of unedited videomaterial waiting. I use Kino to preview the files and trim the clips because it's very suitable for that. Then I save the kino project file and now it contains the names of the files (along with in and out points) that I will import into Openshot.
