Thank for the suggestion. I'm rather surprised that Audacity is the only app on your system that does not follow the new XDG directories specification. I see more than a dozen apps on my Ubuntu 18.04 system that still use hidden directories in $HOME. I think that if Audacity does update to the XDG s...

This code is cryptic. I think this version would be a little less cryptic: (defun fmt-pretty (dformat &rest args) ;;Like 'format' with an additional decimal specifier 'dformat'. (prog2 (setf *float-format* dformat) (apply #'format args) (setf *float-format* "%g"))) I would also have p...

(defun fmt-pretty (FMT &rest stuff) (progv '(*float-format*) (list FMT) (apply #'format stuff))) This code is cryptic. Let's break it down a line at a time: . (defun fmt-pretty (FMT &rest stuff) Defines a function called "fmt-pretty" with arguments "FMT" and "stuff&...

The maximum size of RAW files are limited only by the underlying file system. For NTFS, that is "approximately 16 exabytes". W64 has a 64 bit header, so I think that can also be considered to have "unlimited" file size. MAT4 and MAT5 supports files bigger 4GB, though I don't know...

What does progv do You need to look these things up in the manuals. For standard XLISP functions, the XLISP manual is the best place to look. Here's the language reference page - it's definitely worth bookmarking this page. If you are learning to program in Nyquist, you will use it a lot : https://...

I am just a bit surprised about the lack of a good beginner's guide, you know the real basics (for dummies). Did you find the Nyquist page in the Audacity manual? https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/nyquist.html Also: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/introduction_to_nyquist_and_lisp_programming....

I want Audacity to default to Export Selected if I select something.

That would burn me every time when I export and forget to unselect whatever is selected

What happens when you export a pdf from Word?
I can't think of any applications that default to exporting the selection.

As koz wrote, the errors shown in the log file mean that you don't have FFmpeg installed. FFmpeg is an optional component that allows Audacity to support more file types. FFmpeg is not required unless you need Audacity to support formats that Audacity does not natively support (such as AAC). How man...

Does anybody know the actual size limit for RF64 Wikipedia says "approximately 16 exabytes". 2^64 bytes works out as 15.9999999967 exabytes, so the figure will be very close to 16 exabytes. CAF files also use 64-bit addressing, so they are probably also about 16 exabytes max. do we consid...

Did you get Audacity 2.3.2 via the Audacity website? https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ If so, then you may need to update Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. You can download it from Microsoft here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloa...
