Hi all, I created this account just to post this. Been using Audacity for well over 10 years now, and one of the most recent updates that changes how exporting goes has irked me to the point where I feel like I need to share my frustration.
Previously, when exporting, I could type whatever I wanted in the file name field, and Audacity would append the file extension at the end. Cool. Great. Love this.
Now in 3.4.2, when I’m exporting, if I type a “.” in my desired file name (for instance: artist - song name (feat. other artist)) , it automatically cuts off anything else I type after that first “.” (in this case, “feat.”, meaning it would be “artist - song name (feat.mp3” which is not desirable. This occurs unless I add a second period later on and then it puts the file extension in the correct place. This is super annoying! Why was this ever changed?
Additionally, I don’t really understand why the metadata editor was placed under its own button. This adds unnecessary extra steps into my workflow.
Anyway, sorry for complaining. I get that there’s usually a reason for change, but hopefully this isn’t intentional behavior.
