Audacity Forum

Hi Gale, It is possible that some users who are new to Audacity and/or OS X 10.6.8 may be experiencing this problem, but are unaware of what the behavior should be, that's all I was suggesting. As for how I attempt to open the aup file, it's the same way that I and anyone using a GUI would typically...

Gale, I always use open with. I have created maybe a dozen aup files in the past five years. Generally I use Audacity for viewing and comparing waveforms/levels, and exporting audio files. Yes, I had already dragged the file icon onto Audacity's icon, and have tried it again. No change. As for creat...

Koz, Please know how glad I am that you and Gale are so engaged in the project, and in this issue. As a former tech for an ISP in Chicago in the early days (1992+3), occasional programmer, computer musician since 1988, and computer user since 1979, I am most sympathetic to the work you and Gale are ...

Hi Gale, Okay, I attempted to open the test mp3 file with Audacity and the app opened without the fie being imported (obviously), then imported the file, and exported it as an mp3. It saved the file with an @ attribution from Audacity, so this is happening with Audacity, not just my OS. Then I check...

Hi Koz, Yes, I've verified and repaired the permissions on the disk repeatedly using the Disk Utility. I'm doing it again right now just for the sake of thoroughness. The only permissions that ever seem to need repairing, and they always need to be repaired (ostensibly because data related to the fi...

Gale and Koz, How exciting - we seem to have parity on this one. I tried opening the file as you'd mentioned, the file opened in Audacity for the first time (actually exhilarating!), and I got the same error that Koz did: [email protected]:~% /Applications/Audacity/Audacity.app/C...

Koz and Gale, My friend Patrick and I are about to have a crack at the "Why don't any applications open?" problem. It's because, and you hinted at it Koz, Audacity.app is actually a folder, not an executable, which is fine, because it contains a whole bunch of associated files. If you dig down deepl...

Hi Koz,

Took a little time away from this. Sorry for the delay. Just wanted to let you know that I'd already verified and repaired permissions on the disk, and I did it again, twice, with no change. I'll read your subsequent posts right now...

Gale and Koz: That's the dilemma I've been having with the command line. When I use both bash and zsh and try the Audacity-supported (actually, really standard) syntax of "application filename.mp3", I end up with "audacity: command not found". That's why I tried the open command, which did work. The...

Oops! Sorry - I just saw the Open With in the contextual menu - oh, brother. But it looks identical to the Command-I screen shot(s) I just posted.
