Audacity Forum

I don't know why we have to discuss this now, unless a single file project format (I do not say "unitary") is on the agenda for 2.1.3. Hahahaha The proposal was kicked off four years ago and no developer rushed then to work on this - nor can I see any developer rushing to d it now. In our...

Personally, i'd be happy if we dispensed with linkinng to external audio files and always copied in - much safer. But I can already hear the squeals of protests from some of users wailing "regression - you've taken away an important part of my workflow" . The argument about space-saving on...

Am I understanding you correctly? Are you saying that you are perfectly happy with an Audacity project depending on external WAV, AIFF or FLAC files as long as we give a warning, but that you feel it is of great importance that Audacity projects should not depend on an external _data folder (that h...

Opening an audio file should be distinct from implicitly creating a Project contrasting that file. Audacity does not "open" audio files. It imports them into projects. Everyone here including Steve has been saying that for years. That "everyone else" definitely includes me And t...

Baffles me too - I've only ever seen pinky reds and blues (and some white) of the various spectrogram views - never green

Maybe if you tell us just why you need to do this - we may be able to suggest a way of doing what you need with the current Audacity functionality. You don't need region labels for Export Multiple it will work on the audio that spans the range between on point label and the next - see this page in t...

So are you in favour of this change, and in favour of listing "hidden" options including the "dangerous" one of disabling "Save changes?"? I think so yes - personally I like configurabilty and fiddling around "under the hood" :geek: And if listed, in Wiki or ...

But easy to reset with a deletion of the audacity.cfg

So now Steve you want us to be able to support two different Project formats ?? I don't think we should drop support for existing projects if we can avoid it. Do you? I didn't say that, did I? If we ever did move to unitary project I would envisage Audacity detecting that the user was opening and o...

I do not believe this has anything to do with a unitary project file format - I believe that even a unitary project file should be able to have linked (dependent) audio and that the dependency checks would still be necessary. -1 I think the major benefit of a unitary project format it that it provi...
