Title:
  Project file should be a plain text file

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The OpenShot project file should be a plain text file. It is now a
  binary, thus not human readable nor adjustable.

  Advantages of using clear text:
  - you can clearly see what and how things are organised
  - things can be easily adjusted when something goes wrong
  - you can do automated text operations with grep/sed/awk etc.

  This is related (technically) to the problem where the path of the thumbnails of imported clips are registered in an absolute way. Moving the project file to another location or renaming the folder containing this project file, leads to not properly display of the thumbnails within the clips on the IDE. This could be adjusted, as a workaround, if the project file was in plain text.
