launching Audacity on non-admin accounts on Network Home

Post by Gale Andrews » Thu May 15, 2008 7:28 pm

In 1.3.3 (but not 1.3.2) there were frequent reports that users could not launch Audacity on non-admin accounts on Network Home:

or on managed accounts:

Would any of you be able to try 1.3.5:

and see if you can reproduce any of the above issues. In 1.3.5 the permissions are set to be group writable, and we think this solves most of these problems, but it wants testing for the Network Home issue, including launching from the command line.

Thanks very much.
