I am using Audacity to process recordings of nocturnal flight calls of birds. This is done by recording through the night and then identifying the bird species by looking at the spectogram.
To help finding the exact time when a bird was calling (passing over the microphone), it would be good to have an option to make the timeline above the spectogram show the clock time of the recording. It should be possible to read the start time of the recording from file metadata (ExifTool can do that).
The record-time-labels plugin kind of works as a workaround, but it is adding clutter to the screen. I still think the best solution would be to read the original date and time from file metadata and replace the timeline.
A different solution could be to let users enter the start time (as hh:mm:ss) for the timeline manually (and make it wrap around after 24 hours).
