Unfortunately the first two help screens do not fit on a 1366 x 768 screen on Linux due to lines wrapping. I'm on 800x600 on Linux; I don't think there we are claiming to support lower resolutions. Two solutions would work on both our systems a) carriage return after 50 characters b) put each parag...

Perhaps it should go on the Nyquist Wish List that Generate type plug-ins do not create a track if there is no audio returned. Is that possible given the empty track is created before applying the plug-in? Or is Audacity detecting what output the plug-in has before it's applied? In that case, yes +...

At the risk of recoding Audacity, could there be a message: [LOADING PLUGINS]. ...so that when the machine crashes or takes hours to start, there is somewhere concrete to go. A majority of this thread is trying to decide exactly what's wrong. It seems there is no easy solution, so providing informa...

the latest version (Audacity 1.3 Beta) loads up after about 3 minutes and then comes up with a small window saying "Could Not Create New User Preset File". And you get to choose from yes no or cancel about 5 times, before the program crashes. ALSO I installed the older version of Audacity...

When I'm playing at the highest spead available in 1.3.7, 300 percent, I find the point at which I want to edit or listen at normal spead, and use [ to select the starting point (shift+a doesn't work in 1.3.7.) I press the space bar twice to play the audio at normal spead. When I'm ready to start s...

Audacity Beta already has autosave of a project in the event of a crash (except for when you record to RAM instead of disk). The autosave is essentially the same as an Audacity .aup project file (one .aup file, not several). So probably what you are asking for is some automatic export of a recording...

Hi Edwood, You did well to build Audacity with ASIO - Edgar and I are stumbling on errors finding ASIO header files in PortAudio v19 and then if those errors are fixed manually a linker error after compiling appears: portaudio-v19.lib(pa_win_hostapis.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ...

Do you know if the FFmpeg version patch will be used, or is that just a matter of waiting for Audacity to user a later version of FFMpeg? Yes, that patch "could" be applied globally if we release 1.3.13 for Windows/Mac with some FFmpeg version from 2010, but it would break backwards compa...

The colours of the sliders for the mixer toolbar and the transcription toolbar are incorrect in Audacity 1.3.12 beta and 1.3.13 (up to and including the current r10736 October 17th 2010) To fix this issue apply this patch in similar fashion with patch -p2 < fix-slider-background-color.patch fix-sli...

I'm not sure that adding video formats is such a good idea as video attachments are rarely needed I don't particularly want to see an influx of video spam some video formats (such as wmv and mov) are capable of containing web links and viruses the file extensions relate to the container format and ...
