Unable to export edit of original WAV file

Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows
1

Hi all,
My first Audacity project…downloaded the latest version from Audacity website. All good, now just need to save the edit of the original file for use elsewhere. Followed the instructions- export > export audio > changed file name to ‘original-edit’ (remains in WAV format), chose location and click save- but only get ‘File not found- Check the filename and try again’.
I have tried other options but always get the same. It only seems to allow me to save with the same filename as the original, which would mean replacing it which I do not want to do.
I thought this would be the easy bit! What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks,
Phill

Cracked it! I needed to save the project first, THEN export it…

On Export - curious. I am unable to reproduce this on 3.2.3.

Thanks for posting your solution. Perhaps this will help others.
