Better Dependency Checking
Registered by
Jonathan Thomas
When OpenShot loads up, we need to have a more elaborate dependency check. Right now we have no error handling around our import statements, and thus... OpenShot will just break if you are missing a library. We need to gracefully tell the user to install the missing dependencies, instead of un-handled errors.
Check for these libraries:
mlt, gtk, goocanvas
For example:
try:
import mlt
except:
# Show friendly error "Sorry, but you need to install MLT"
