Thanks for the patch Daniel!  I have committed the patch to the trunk.
I also made a few changes.  OpenShot now updates any missing transition
to a "dissolve", so it won't seg fault.  So to recap, the user gets a
nice message on what is missing, and OpenShot will still work without
seg faulting.

Crash when previewing OSP files from an older version of OpenShot

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Fix Committed

Bug description:
My old OSP project files no longer work.  The application segfaults when previewing at the point it reaches certain transitions.

I have identified that the OSP files include references to paths such as '/usr/share/openshot/transitions/sand.svg' which no longer exists.  I think the paths have since changed to something like '/usr/share/pyshared/openshot/transitions'.

Could we make it so OpenShot scans these paths when the project is opened to make sure they exist?  Maybe it could then show a dialogue for resolving missing files.  I think the same dialogue would be useful for finding other missing resources, for example, in the scenario where someone has moved the folder which contains their source video.

The dialogue could offer options such as fully automatic scanning for the files, or offer the ability to point to a base path to scan.
