# On Linux and Windows the executable is the name a user types — the docs' own

# install instructions say to "navigate to the bin folder and double-click

# kdenlive.exe"

# (https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/getting_started/installation.html). On macOS it

# is a bundle with no command line tool, so the bundle identifier is what a

# consumer sees there: org.kde.Kdenlive, from the Homebrew cask's zap list

# (~/Library/Preferences/org.kde.Kdenlive.plist,

# https://formulae.brew.sh/api/cask/kdenlive.json).

detect = ["kdenlive", "org.kde.Kdenlive"]

# kdenliverc is the settings file, and it lands in a different place on each

# platform because it is a KConfig file:

# Linux ~/.config/kdenliverc — the docs say so while explaining how to

# reset a broken install: "delete Kdenlive's config file

# ($HOME/.config/kdenliverc) and restart Kdenlive"

# (https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/troubleshooting/installation_troubleshooting.html)

# Windows %LOCALAPPDATA%\kdenliverc — listed among the folders a domain user

# needs write access to, in "Kdenlive in a Windows Domain"

# (https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/getting_started/installation.html)

# macOS ~/Library/Preferences/kdenliverc — the Homebrew cask's zap list

# Three genuinely different locations rather than one under three names: the

# Linux one is spelled out as $HOME/.config in the documentation, and Windows

# uses the *local* app data directory, not %APPDATA%. So each is written out

# and a consumer skips the two that do not exist.

# Not listed, from the same two sources: kdenlive-layoutsrc is the saved window

# layouts, which are display geometry rather than settings; kxmlgui5/

# kdenlivekdenliveui.rc is the toolbar state Qt writes; and the kdenlive data

# directory (~/Library/Application Support/kdenlive, %AppData%\kdenlive) holds

# downloaded render profiles, title templates and the .backup folder. None of

# them is under a path above, so there is nothing to carve out of what syncs.

exclude = []

# A video editor with no account: kdenliverc is render presets, proxy settings,

# interface options and the paths below.

secret = []

# No machine_lines. kdenliverc does carry absolute paths — the MLT and FFmpeg

# binaries Kdenlive found at first start, and the default project folder — but

# their key names and group headings are not documented anywhere the catalog

# can cite, and a rule guessed from memory would silently match nothing. A

# consumer that syncs this file should expect the first launch on a new machine

# to re-detect its own MLT.
