Audacity Forum

Gale, this thread is a year old and the underlying code has changed drastically in the last couple weeks. Are you trying to patch SVN HEAD or are you seeing strange results with SVN HEAD and no patch? There's a much more current thread ( http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=82163 ) whi...

Hi Jack! I sent you a private message… I placed a zip file in my Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/17cw7lz9rj1wjbc/AudioBiocolor15Aug2014.zip?dl=0 This is a zip archive which has the documentation for the new features, language localization files (Languages & locale folders) the new executable (ABC...

I also had this problem to solve for a client; here is a link to the thread which started it all: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=74727&hilit=AudioBiocolor#p223451 Audacity AudioBiocolor is a project I did for a French medical team. I had to solve the problem of automatically savi...

though demonstrable That's the bit that troubles me - is there a demonstrable benefit? I did point out two demonstrable but small - nay, tiny - benefits: IDE editors which do highlighting highlight them differently so, being different, at a glance wxColor looks "wrong" because it is not of type "cl...

I can see your point, but I think we would have a hard time convincing anyone that it is an important change (I may be wrong, and often am ;)) It's a trivial change and only someone with serious OCD could find it important. However, it is a symptom of something troubling to me: a lack of attention ...

What is the filename extension?

(Linux) While Audacity is open, there is a file in the Audacity temp folder called "audacity-lock-username". The size of the file is 5 bytes. Not on Windows 7. I do see some (very vague) discussion of this in the wxWidgets documentation: http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_single_instance_check...

What about the "lock" file (if it exists)? Is that deleted? I think it should be because that can prevent Audacity from launching. +1 I do seem to recall this still coming up occasionally on the Forum as a problem for users Peter I think I misunderstood. I know of no " "lock" file ". I thought you ...

given that wxWidgets does provide both spellings, then both spellings are perfectly legal. Legal, yes but, because one is a #define and the other a class, each variable type is subtly different. Clearly, over the years the Audacity Developers have taken great pains to ensure that the class-type (no...
