Thanks for your reply inquiry.

In answer to your question, I attempted to save the Openshot (Version 
1.2.2)  project from the menu and the result was the application crash 
without saving the file.

However, last night I came across something interesting in my tinkering 
with the program. I got into my home directory and while there, under 
the View menu, I enabled "Show Hidden Files". With the hidden files 
displayed, I proceeded to the ".openshot" folder and deleted it. I 
restarted Openshot and successfully saved the project; no crash. I kept 
repeating this  procedure, and in each case with success.

Even though I have been tinkering around with Linux for about eight 
years, I still haven't mastered the intricacies of terminal scripts like 
some users I know. I'm neither a  newbie nor a geek expert. All I know 
is that this procedure seems to eliminate the problem, and this is the 
way I shall proceed from now on. Undoubtedly there is a bug in this 
application, and hopefully the programmer will post a fix patch on the 
routine Linux Mint 10 updates.

Most likely, you are experiencing this same problem, and I hope what 
I've mentioned will solve yours.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.
