Audacity Forum

I have been informed that on Mac Audacity is not "well behaved" when dealing with links (called aliases on Mac). Look here for programming details to resolve the problem: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Carbon/Reference/Alias_Manager/Reference/reference.html as I have...

What OS is the patch for, and how is it used? [...] It looks sorta linuxish A long time back I asked about links on Mac and Linux (about which I know almost nothing) and the responses have escaped me. I seem to recall that on Mac they "just work" and on Linux it is somewhat dependent. How...

this patch is functionally the same but is more ready for the time when plug-ins/ might have sub-folders

I did some experimentation and found that on Windows, if you put a link to an effect (file--which resides on some other drive) in the plug-ins folder, the plug-in fails to be installed.

No, only that section effected is selected.

If you still cannot locate the unwanted material, you will need to do a custom search Just so you understand, having only 5GB of 500GB free (i.e. 1%) is asking for trouble. I'm using Vista. So please do tell! And what's wrong with having so little memory? At least 100GB free is 100GB wasted. I do n...

This should be easy to code, the details of GUI need consideration. Since it is a Track-related process, I am thinking -- add an item to the Track's twisty/drop-down menu which pops up a requester dialog asking "How much?" and gets user input with a Time Text Control (TimeTextCtrl--one of ...
