Dear spesialists! When I try to delete the selected item (rule), I fail, because after selection and clicking “delete” Audacity deletes….all items, entirely. Please, correct!
Do we have Audacity version 3.2.1.? So fast? I didn’t know. Anyway, in 3.2.1 the problem repeats.
It’s working for me, but be aware that the “selected item” that is being deleted is the item that is selected in the “file extensions” column on the left.
Can I delete the selected line from the right column (Importer order)? I need only .mp3, uncompressed files and FFMPEG. The rest I’d delete. As it’s seen, the left column is still empty.
It’s because Muse had to quickly fix a nasty crash bug:
Latest 64 bit version Crashes on Launch #3731

And BTW 3.2.2 is in the offing so keep an eye our for that …
Peter.
No, that’s not an option, and is not necessary.
Just move the filters that you want to use to the top of the list.
Audacity tries importing files that match the specified “file extension”, using each of the importers (from the right hand column) in turn (starting from the top) until it finds an importer that succeeds. Filters below the one that succeeds are not used.
Example, with the default rule:
The file extension is “*”, which is a wildcard that matches all files.
So, when importing any kind of audio file,
- Audacity will try the “WAV, AIFF, and other uncompressed types” first.
If this filter works, then the file is imported and all other filters are ignored. - If that filter does not support the audio file, then Audacity will try the “Ogg Vorbis” import.
If this filter works, then the file is imported and all other filters are ignored. - If that filter does not support the audio file, then Audacity will try the “Flac” import.
If this filter works, then the file is imported and all other filters are ignored. - and so on to the end of the list of importers.
I’d like the extra types of files to disappear from the column rather than to move them to the bottom of the list.
Does moving “Unused Filters:” accomplish your goal?
Excuse me, it’s not a solution.
Is this what you are looking for?
.
If not, what is it that you are trying to accomplish? What problem are you experiencing?
I ask, how to do so, that in the right column only three lines would leave: mp3, uncompressed types of files and FFMPEG. The others are not needed or used. I’d like make them invisible. Is it technically difficult?
You would need to modify the source code, and then build Audacity. So yes, that’s technically difficult unless you are a very experienced C++ developer.
Not if you do the work.
