http://packman.links2linux.org/package/286 installed it
and have edited a few songs thru it and it seems to be working. [as in it puts the .mp3 extension on the edited song. I don't know what 'bugs' were in 2.1.0 but they don't seem to be effecting my work yet. So as much as I would like to carryon solving this problem, I think I will leave it here and get some work done. I will keep my eyes open for any file name discrepancies or files that don't show in the selection window. and post back here.
Thank You.

Here I am starting a post as suggested from my other post: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=95221&p=324160#p324160
It isn't known about. And I don't see it here: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/buglist.c ... h=audacity.
Do the files that are missing or mis-spelt always contain accented characters or symbols?
3 part issue with File>Import>Audio
Part 1
Sometimes when I try to import a song [File>Import>Audio] and the import selection window opens I cannot find the file I am looking for.
I can see it in my file manager[Dolphin], but not in the Import selection window. [It is in my files in the correct folder]
My only means of getting the file into audacity is to drag & drop, whereas I usually do the File>Import>Audio method.
Being a creature of habit I like to do things using the same method.
Part 2
At times the file names I see in the import selection window do not look the same as in the file manager[Dolphin], sometimes they are mis-spelled or add extra letters where they are not this way in the file manager. Characters/Symbols I commonly use in my file naming are ( - , & [ ] )
[e.g.] Amber Digby - Heart, I am ashamed of you 007-.mp3 would Look like Aamber Digby - Heart, I am ashamed of you 007-.mp3
There were other but I didn't write them down.
I guess this [Part 2] could be caused by Characters/Symbols in the file name, but [Part1] the file simply isn't listed.
Part 3
This may not be anything but different sorting order, but the file names in Audacity aren't always sorted the same as in Dolphin file manager.
[e.g.] -
File>Import>Audio is on the left.
Bennys come before Bens
Dolphin file manager is on the right.
