Audacity 1.3.12 on rightclick menu

Post by AadK » Mon Sep 27, 2010 11:24 am

Audacity 1.3.12 on rightclick menu will not work.
The older version always was in the rc-menu.
Even with "öpen with" ,it will not appear.
What do i wrong?
Search my mp3,then right click,but AC is not there.
Then i choosed 'open with' and search the Auda map.
When i'm cilck on the Auda.icon it won't appear in the rc-menu after
restart AudaC. Even not after i restart my PC.
I put the Audamap on my secundairy (build-in) HD.I use XP-Pro.
Is that wrong?
The older Auda was there always,and that worked always for me.
By the way,AudaC 1.3.12 launches correctly with the Desc-icon.

Due to a Windows limitation, "Open with" won't support more than one executable on the computer having the same name.

So rename the Audacity Beta executable to something other than "audacity.exe". This is noted in the 1.3.12 Release Notes.
