Hi ! (1st post)
I created some Audacity projects ( ‘.aup’ + _DATA ) at the time :
-
on Version 1.2.6 of Audacity
-
on Windows XP (I know… ) (NOT accessible anymore, HDD erased, PC broken)
Today, I’m on :
- Mac ( 10.13.6 , High Sierra )
- at least Version 2 of Audacity
I’d just like to :
- open the file and have Tracks working
- & convert it to the Version 2 of Audacity, with “Save As”.
~ OF COURSE … ~ : When I try to open the Audacity’s file, the .aup , but with Audacity 2, it tells me that some .WAV files are missing from their old file path, understandably.
I still have those .Wav files ! And I’d be more than happy to indicate the Software where they happen to be, or put them at their older location, to then “Save as” in a new project, etc.
Having more old projects, it would help me not restarting parts of those, esp since lots of those Tracks got their volume modified, lenght cut, etc.
EXCEPT : those pathfiles are from an old Windows XP format so they’re like :
'C:\Documents and Settings\Clément_Familial\[blablabla]\Cry écho 01.wav'
So it’s basically impossible for me to use this option !
I’d like to know, please, if there’s a method to point at the new emplacements of the files, in order to avoid re-putting everything myself & restarting modifications for all projects.
Audacity has been telling me to go the menu : " HELP / Diagnostic / ±~ Verify Associated Files " ,
and they indeed appear, just there (scoffing at ) but there’s no option to indicate their new path , like in Final Cut Pro 7 by example …
- Sorry for the Screenshot : Basically the only available option is “Do not copy” [the files into the project, since they’re missing].
- If I right click on the file path, the only available option is “Copy path name”.
( PS : I’ve seen Topics about “going from Mac to Windows” in my researches, but not the reverse , and most subjects about missing files were saying : “try to put the files back in their original path”, which I unfortunately can’t. Couldn’t find more atm. )
