Re: Add a tab to the instruction book

My goal is One Stop Shopping. The manual is getting tantalizingly close. I stopped going to my little notes, bookmarks, post-its and hasty scratches on matchbook covers for most forum questions. The manual is just too fast and convenient. As an editor of the Manual that is my goal too. You should f...

Re: Need more info about timeline functions

Have you seen this page in the Manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/timeline.html

Re: trimming seconds off end of track

select the portion you want to delete and the Edit > Delete - or use the shortcut Ctrl+K

But I suspect that you may be in Pause mode and not Stop mode ...

Re: NoiseRemoval.cpp

I agree with Koz (and others) that it would be a good change just to change the name of Noise Removal to Noise Reduction . I like stuff that " does what it says on the tin " - and reduction, not removal, is what the effect does - clarity of purpose should be explicit in the syntax nomencla...

Re: Add a tab to the instruction book

There is another downside. The syntax is: [[Image:Record.png|link=|Record button]] but that syntax kills the hover text. I've not found a working solution for that. Yes... I just discovered that - see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tutorial_-_Editing_an_Existing_File#Walk_through_deleting_all_...

Re: Add a tab to the instruction book

It is quite possible that a user who has the Manual does not have latest Audacity, but if they do have the latest Audacity a link that just says "Download Audacity" is potentially confusing. So I'm afraid I object to Peter's change for that reason, because a software download is not a hel...

Re: Add a tab to the instruction book

In any case how about making the big logo go to http://audacityteam.org/ instead of booting the user to the logo image page in the development Manual? You can mention that you can download Audacity in the image hover text. That's certainly an idea - but, even with hover text, it would surely still ...

Re: Add a tab to the instruction book

Generally I've been worried for a while about most images booting the user into the alpha Manual. All images should be set as "link=" to kill the links. So I would set a P2 for that, Peter. Hmmm - see what you mean :geek: 1) The upside for users of doing what you suggest is clear - keepin...
