Re: expand on Norm's new track name in display

sizeColorFamily10.patch Is this still on-going? If so, which checkout revision do I need? (the patch fails against revision 11462). "on-going"--we don' need no steeking "on-going"! <big grin> Given the Developer's decision to reject my design concept (much less my patch) on the ...

Re: reset Preferences CFG file

I often see users asking to be able to backup/save/load Prefs Certainly. Save it before you Reset it against the time you blow the old one away and you can't remember how you set up your system -- and there's something critical missing. If the buttons were "Backup" & "Restore&quo...

reset Preferences CFG file

Forum elves often need to have users reset their Preferences configuration (audacity.cfg) file. Doing so is often difficult (explaining "how to" as well as actually doing it) and there has been a call for a method of resetting this file from within Audacity. Here is a solution: resetPrefs2...

Re: expand on Norm's new track name in display

After some QA review... * default text color to yellow (255, 255, 0) & size to 11] * in my preferred version the buttons inherit the user's choice of font/size/color so make one button's background color the same as a selected wavetrack's background color and the other button's background color ...

Re: expand on Norm's new track name in display

After re-thinking the whole user experience and taking the known limitation of wxGTK (Linux--no color picker in the font dialog) and potential unknowns on Mac I came up with a new software algorithm and GUI. Here is the new look: fontColorAndSize9.png In an effort to conserve space I added a new sec...

Re: Flat lining when exporting from audacity project

I had no problems with the DL nor with exporting (using SVN HEAD as of 1Feb12) to MP3. I also had not heard this music in years and will listen to the whole thing before deleting it.

Good luck with your project--sounds like a great gift.

Re: expand on Norm's new track name in display

Maybe the reason there is no color picker in the Linux font dialog is that wxWidgets does not do color fonts with Linux. But it works OK with the color picker with the Wx fonts? Strange. My original solution was a bit of a hack (but it worked for colorized fonts in this case)! [ I installed Ubuntu ...

Re: Sound Finder / Silence Finder improvements

The GUI looks good to me. I don't use the tool so am not one to comment on functionality.

Re: expand on Norm's new track name in display

Maybe the reason there is no color picker in the Linux font dialog is that wxWidgets does not do color fonts with Linux. I am seeing similar segfault behavior here but it is random. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit but could not get Audacity to compile (myself and others have had this problem since l...

Re: expand on Norm's new track name in display

OK, back to ugly (at least on Linux); I stuck in a color picker, but, again, as ShuttleGUI does not do color pickers I had to roll-my-own. My Linux install is not playing nice with wxWidgets & Audacity and I forget how to run Audacity under a debugger--I know I did it once last year using Ubuntu...
