IF the project is an unedited recording, then the data files may be sorted by creation/modification time. If the project has been edited, then it will not be possible to fully sort the data files, though sorting by creation/modification time may allow partial recovery. See also: https://manual.audac...

Here's a way you can do it. The attached plug-in will mark silences that are: Below the threshold level Longer than "Minimum duration of silence" Shorter than "Maximum duration of silence" This effect will be very slow on long audio selections. The effect returns a maximum of 100...

Could you take a look at it's code ? The current duration is actually the minimum duration for detecting a silence, so maybe the "maximum duration" option can be added in the same way without much effort. It's a bit more complex than that. There must be a minimum duration that is not trun...

What exactly do you think "Ctrl + Drag" should do?

Ah, I've fixed it myself. I had installed wxWidgets from the Centos repo (and it is now called wxGTK3...) and that one linked but didn't work for audacity. After some bit of messing around, I finally uninstalled that one entirely, downloaded source from git (per one or another of the audacity docum...

Do you mean that you "exported an audio file" or "saved the Audacity project" (or both)?
(If you saved the project then it will be easy to recover the recordings, but not possible just from an exported audio file.)

You have selected the wrong recording device. To record sound that is playing on your computer use "WASAPI" as the audio host and the "loopback" device as the recording device. See here for more information: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback...

Your "new-example.flac" file shows substantial clipping (distortion) due to the recording level being too high.
First thing to check is the recording levels in Ubuntu's volume control. If everything looks OK there, check the levels with alsamixer.

I want to truncate only those silences which are smaller than 2sec Doh! My mistake, you said that right at the start. No, Audacity does not provide a way to do that, and as far as I'm aware the Truncate Silence effect has never provided that option. One possible workaround is that you can "shi...
