when applying a chain to a series of files, the process stops for the metadata information for each OGG file being exported. the point of the chains is that it can be done to a series of files automatically without user interference. there needs to be a setting to turn off the request for data.
Also, on my machine, the program crashes after I hit OK on the screen that prompts for the data.

Re: metadata editor for 1.3.4 disturbs chain processing
How strange.... the first time I tried it, it prompted me for the first file only, then processed the rest without prompting. Tried it again and now it prompts for every file.
There appears to be a setting for it in Preferences->Batch but it doesn't seem to work
I'm not getting the crash problem though. Can you post your chain commands (and parameters) - it could be something there causing the crash.
I'm using Windows XP Audacity 1.3.4
[EDIT] - very very strange. I tried the preset chain examples, then tried applying chain commands to a project (rather than files) and finally tried my test chain on files (again) - and it's working without prompting for metadata now.

Re: metadata editor for 1.3.4 disturbs chain processing
Steve, did you reset Audacity in between those two tests? Sometimes you have to reset Audacity in order for preferences changes to take effect.
Re: metadata editor for 1.3.4 disturbs chain processing
I have the show metadata editor unchecked.
It still opens when I apply the chain to export an OGG.
