Bug Description

If a title file is renamed through File properties of the title, previewing it causes a segmentation fault.

1. Create a new project or open an existing one
2. Create a new title, add it to a track
3. Right click on the title in Project files tab, select File properties
4. Change the "File Name" (I kept the path and extension)
5. Click Apply, click Close
6. Right click on the title in Project files tab, select Preview

Using OpenShot 1.0.0 on Ubuntu 8.04 32bit, installed from DEB (with dependencies) as instructed on project's Donwloads page.

This is a minor inconvenience, but crashing the app may result in losing the unsaved changes.

To developers: hope this will help to improve an amazingly well-designed and user-friendly application. I've been looking for an app like this for years, and OpenShot is the best among both commercial and open source video editing tools!

Changing the file name in the properties tab is only updating the file name within the project, it doesn't rename the file on disk (it's really intended for when you have moved a file and need to update the path), but I guess we should make that a bit clearer.

I would be much less concerned if changing the name in File properties would have done nothing, but crashing the app (even though it probably will not happen often) is annoying to the user.

I agree, a crash is not what most users would expect to be the result of
changing a file name. =)

The titles branch has already been merged into the trunk, and thus this fix should have also been merged.

I don't think this made it through the merge - the problem still seems to exist and I can't find the bug fix in the trunk.

Okay, this has been merged and committed to the trunk. However, I changed the error message, to use one that has already been translated. Thanks!
