Kdenlive, the open-source video editor, generates an excessive number of log lines on Linux — nearly 1 million lines over 6 months of weekly use, outpacing all other system processes combined. This saturates journald's 4 GB disk limit and makes log inspection tedious. The fix is to create a wrapper script at ~/.local/bin/kdenlive that sets the QT_LOGGING_RULES environment variable to suppress debug, info, and warning logs, leaving only errors. This scopes the change to Kdenlive without affecting other Qt applications.
