Re: Comments in saving a file

Sorry for duplicating Gale's information! He and I were writing at the same time.

Re: Comments in saving a file

I exported it as a wav file. I don't know how to now find the comments I typed about the file. Is there anyway without using media player or itunes? You can view the comments in Windows Explorer; you should have the toolbar turned on so that the View menu is available (see the number 1 in red on th...

What I think we need to avoid is adding more and more controls onto the bicycle until it has the complexity of a 747 cockpit.

Re: Consider a project of only unmodified tracks to be "clea

I think that [it] will never be 100% safe for our less able users. "Safety" is about managing risk. you want a perfect solution. Usually I do too Can we define the "perfect" solution (in terms of risk, not software development)? It seems that everyone wants a solution that allows a user to turn the...

Re: Audacity not fully exporting audio file

It should, Export could return FALSE in this case and the proper rollback (deleting the malformed file if necessary) could terminate with the warning. If not, I would consider this a bug. Wouldn't it be better if Audacity worked out how big the WAV file would be before even attempting to export it?...

Re: Audacity not fully exporting audio file

There are lots of places in the code where Audacity fails silently (no user warning) on file operations. Would that fix this case, Ed? The file is written "correctly" in the sense no OS error is returned, but it can't be played properly because the exported size is larger than that permitted by the...

Re: Audacity not fully exporting audio file

There are lots of places in the code where Audacity fails silently (no user warning) on file operations. A few years back I provided Gale with a patch which fixed a few of these (returning FALSE instead of TRUE when a file operation failed within a function) and added warnings for all of them. At th...

Re: Noise Reduction Question

I have seen this happen (wave image gone but still able to hear sound) - years ago, pre-2.0 - after applying an effect (but I don't remember which effect although I do use Noise Removal/Noise Reduction a lot). I was able to get it to refresh the image by doing a "fit to window" but not by zooming in...
