By what method are the Audacity 1.3 .au project files numbered? I know there must be some method, only because randomly numbering them (what it looks like) without collisions would be too much work.

Re: All those little .au files
Glancing at DirManager.cpp, I believe the blockfile numbering (and the numbering of the projects) really is random (uses a random number generator). I've never seen a definitive explanation, but it looks as if the automatic recovery code as written requires this randomness.kozikowski wrote:By what method are the Audacity 1.3 .au project files numbered?

The only "rule" I know is that the fourth numeric character in the filename of the .au file (for example, a "1" in a file named e0001932.au) tells you the "d" folder that file is in (d01 in that case).
