Audacity Forum

I understand. Thanks!

Thanks Steve! I believe this is not good. If the user just want to know the version of Audacity, it should be printed on the cmd and do not require that the user wait for the GUI to fully load and make some clicks to get this information. Maybe this is even worse if the user is using some scripting....

Hi there! I am trying to get the version number of audacity.exe using the cmd on Windows, but nothing returns. Using the exe provided on the zip package: C:\Users\username\Downloads\audacity-2.3.2>audacity.exe /v C:\Users\username\Downloads\audacity-2.3.2>audacity.exe -v C:\Users\username\Downloads\...

What did you do? Just comment out the "#if !defined(__WXMAC__)" and "#endif"? Yes. but you are not willing to say what that use case is? In fact, we have made various modifications on Audacity for use internally by our team, to fit out workflow. The changes are very specific for our needs, not all ...

An "intended behaviour". By definition, bugs are unintended.

May I say an "intended discrepancy" instead?

Can you still open projects by double clicking on them?

Yes, I can confirm. Double clicking or using the open command does work.

I've had a look into the code, and in AudacityApp::OnInit(), passing file list arguments via the command line is implemented for Windows and Linux only: Correct, so I removed this and recompiled on a mac to make it work for me. That's because it is working now for my case. As I said, must be a reas...

What happens if you place the show on the desktop? Do you get the same failures?

I did not understand the point, but the AUP location does not matter. I tried on various places.

I explained before, I just want the macOS executable to open an AUP from the terminal just like it happens on Linux and WIndows. What information? Sorry, why does it matter? This is something very specific for my case... if I get some stdout info or if I verify the lack of it... I just need to open ...

In my case, I need some information Audacity's stdout provides while the aup is opened. But for you to understand, consider that I need to call audacity executable from the terminal and I need to know (the script needs to continue some tasks) after the project is closed. Just consider how it works o...

As I explained, open command will not work for me because it will just open the file and return to the terminal... I need the command to keep locked until I close the Audacity, just like Linux and Windows. But I found the source of this problem. In fact, for me it is a planned bug: https://github.co...
