Audacity 1.3.6 crashes with .lof files

[steve]

Audacity 1.3.6 (Unicode) release build
Ubuntu 8.10

When opening a .lof file (see here about LOF files; http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php? ... _playlists ) Audacity will load the files, then immediately after loading it will crash.

Relaunching Audacity will allow the FIRST file in the list to be recovered.

This is the contents of the LOF file that I am using, though I have tried many different variations with the same result:

Code: Select all

window
file "/home/steve/Desktop/noclicks.wav"
file "/home/steve/Desktop/metronom.wav"
file "/home/steve/Desktop/orchestra.wav"

Hi Steve

I don't think the exact .lof syntax is the problem. I tried on a Windows build from CVS HEAD with this .lof:

file "C:Track No02.wav" # displayed
file "C:Track No04.wav" offset 5 # displayed with a 5s offset
File "C:Track No05.wav" # displayed

Behaviour is the same here as with you, but Audacity 1.2.6 handles the .lof perfectly so it is a regression. I get the same behaviour either with the Import / Export Preferences set to "make a copy", or to "read directly", so it does not seem that on-demand loading is to blame.

If I import a group of three files normally by multiple select then force-quit as soon as they have loaded, Automatic Crash Recovery only recovers the first one, so that is a separate issue not connected with the .lof crash.

I've just checked in the fix for this...
