Can't open aup files from file search
Posted: Wed May 04, 2011 3:57 am
Windows XP sp3 OS
I have numerous aup files saved on C: and an external HD. Did some drive cleaning and moved a bunch around to new folders.
When I select "Recent Files" and try to open the files shown Audacity 1.3.13 naturally says it can't locate the files. (Were moved)
But if I do a “search all files and folders” file search, then click on one of the files located I get a message saying: (file name) .aup is not a valid Win32 application when Audacity 1.37 tries to open the aup files.
However I can click on and open them if I select an old 1.26 audacity program but then it says “this file was saved using audacity 1.3.7 , ..... need to upgrade”
What am I missing here? Any ideas as to how to get Audacity 1.3.13 to open up a file from the file search?
Also, since upgrading to 1.3.13 I am getting a constant orphan files found when ever a aup file is opened. Did the same on 1.3.7. Any ideas on this?
Thanks in advance for any help one might give.
