No, but this feature has changed since the first (prototype) version.
How it works now:
The “Import Folder”:
- The “Import Folder” tells the plug-in where to look.
- If the “Import Folder” is not specified, the plug-in will only look in Nyquist’s default-sf-dir (default sound file directory). The location of the default-sf-dir is platform dependent though I think it could be displayed in the Help screen. For clarity the user should always specify this folder by entering a valid, fully qualified path as the “Import Folder”.
- The plug-in will look in the “Import Folder” to see if there is a file called filelist.txt.
- If filelist.txt is found, then the plug-in will import each file that is listed in “filelist.txt” in the order that they are listed.
- If filelist.txt is not found, then the plug-in will import all supported audio files that exist in that folder.
The filelist.txt file:
- If this file is present in the “Import Folder” folder it will be used and only audio files listed in this file will be imported.
- filelist.txt is a plain text file.
- Each file on the list must be on a new line.
- Blank lines are ignored.
- Each audio file must be either (a) a file in the “Import Folder” or (b) a fully qualified file name.
- All files listed must exist.
- All files listed must be of supported file types.
If there is no filelist.txt file:
- All supported files in the “Import Folder” will be imported.
- Unsupported file types will be ignored.
That may be OS dependent. Söndag" and “Älska” both work here (Linux) as file names or folder names. There’s some (unresolved) discussion about this here: http://audacity.238276.n2.nabble.com/Unicode-Problems-td5681026.html
This plug-in does not search recursively. It looks only in the “Current directory”.
Searching recursively would be difficult and I think that it would probably be more confusing for users.
