When going into the drop down menu files and clicking save/save as/open/export/import it freezes audacity. This happens on an empty window so it isn’t my project size. I’m using 2.4.2 currently.
This first happened when I was trying to export a mp3 file, I was trying to go into another folder using the drop down menu but it froze when I tried, now it won’t even let me get into the file window.
With saving as a normal audacity file it only lets me get as far as the project type warning and then it stops responding.
I think the lack of replies is because you are describing a unique and unknown problem.
Does everything else appear to work correctly, other than saving and exporting?
