When exporting, Shotcut can overwrite a file used in the project

Bug
1

What is your operating system? Windows 10

What is your Shotcut version? 21.10.31

Can you repeat the problem? If so, what are the steps?

Steps:

  1. Create a project that includes a video file.
  2. When exporting, point to the file used in the project.
  3. Shotcut will try to overwrite that file, rendering it useless

If you don’t have a copy of that file to repair the damage, the project is ruined.

That’s a dumb thing to do, I agree, but mistakes appends. When exporting, Shotcut should not be allowed to overwrite a file that is used in the project.
