We're working on upgrading Chains for 2.3.0 - and re-branding them as Macros

You''l be delighted to know that we're adding a load more commands for Macros - ans even better you get Move to Next Label and Move to Previous Label

2.3.0 is currently scheduled for mid-July

Is there any way to export a specific audio track with its track name automatically taken as exported filename ? Not that I know of. But - I was right in my thinking that with Export Multiple (indeed all Exports) Audacity does not export any tracks that are muted. So I can suggest a couple of worka...

Just cklick in the label first - that will select in the label track and the associated audio

then try moving your labels ...

The File>Export Multiple option sounds good for the exporting with the track name as filename, except it applies to all tracks in the audacity open window rather than concerning only selected tracks. Am I right ? Fundamentally I think you are right - but I have a suspicion that Audacity will not ex...

And I've tested this today on my Mac and it works just fine and dandy.
