Can not add images on the timeline or create New titles

[Winston]

Architecture: 64 bit
Operating System: Arch Linux
Version of Openshot installed: 1.4.3
MLT/melt version: 0.9.0-1
FFmpeg ersion: 1:1.2.1-1

As the title says, I can't add images to the timeline. When dragging an image to the timeline, I get two " + " (yellow and green) and when image is dropped to the timeline, the image is "tiny". Image properties showed me that the length is only 0,03 seconds.
I also checked the length in "Settings" and it says "length of the imported images 7,00". Adding an image directly from the "Project files" makes no difference.

Anyway, no problems with previewing images or video files. Adding video files to the timeline works OK.

When "New title" is successfuly generated, it does not show in "Project files".

I manually set the length of the images to 7.00 sec and all was OK, except that the slider on the timeline did not move when playing a sequence? Anyways, I saved the project, but now I can't open it, cause every time OS crashes. This is the output from Terminal when opening saved project (with command optirun openshot):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openshot/classes/files.py", line 257, in AddFile
    newFile = self.project.thumbnailer.GetFile(file_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openshot/classes/thumbnail.py", line 85, in GetFile
    self.p = mlt.Producer( self.profile, '%s' % file_location )
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/mlt.py", line 568, in __init__
    this = _mlt.new_Producer(*args)

I also tried to run OS W/O optirun and.....again crash (when opening saved project):

You should use and run openshot with gdb and put us the result once time you 'll have done the same operations.
Now, I've an Arch derivated (Manjaro) and I could soon test it.
Thanks for you patience we are not very active currently (and until December/January at least). As you can imagine we are busy and not only for Openshot.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know what went wrong, but OS no longer starts:

It looks like you are using Python3 there - Openshot uses Python 2.x.

[Olivier Girard (eolinwen)]

Even I am not yet tested, I am arrived to the same conclusion like Andy.
