Feature request: labels should move with their audio when time shift or truncating silence

[vxm]

Desired behavior:

1. record audio
2. add labels for the different topics discussed in the audio
3. truncate silence
4. as it compresses the silence, the labels should move to stay with the audio they were aligned with when created.

Current behavior

1. record audio
2. add labels
3. truncate silence
4. as it compresses the silence, labels are now out of alignment with the audio they were labeling. The same thing happens when using time shift tool after creating a label. Labels are most useful when they stay with the audio they are labeling.

OS X 10.10.6
Audacity 2.3.3

4. as it compresses the silence, the labels should move to stay with the audio they were aligned with when created.

There’s two ways to do that:

1. Select the audio AND the label track, and then apply Truncate Silence.

2. Use a “Sync-Locked Track Group” (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/sync_locked_track_groups.html)
