You can get errors like that if you try to use punctuation marks in your filename other than -dash- and _underscore_. Today is not 6/20/19. It's 2019-06-20. No slashmarks.

well I don't use points in my names files… I still get the error…

do I need to not put space bar in the tittle?

by exemple:
1 2 3
1_2_3?

but thank you for sharing.

I come to save it and it' say that the files doesn't exist!

What is the full and exact message (without missing anything out or changing anything)?
Which exact version of Audacity are you using?
Which operating system are you using?

[Rosaberge2]

my version of audacity is 2.3.2 and I use it on windows 10.

the message say that I cannot save my files because the files doesn't exist. when I try to export it, the same message is wroten.
it cannot find the files name, check the file name and try again.

I hope this can help.

the message say that I cannot save my files because the files doesn't exist.

Please quote exactly and in full what the message says. Without the full and exact message, it could be anything causing the problem.

[Rosaberge2]

well this is the message it cannot save because the file name doesn't exist, check the files name and try again.

this is the only message I got when I try to save or export.

OK, let's try another way: Please post a screenshot of the message.

In the search box of the Windows Start menu, type: cmd
and select the "Command Prompt" app.

When the Command Prompt window opens, you should see a prompt:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Utilisateur>

Do you see that?


If you do, then type:

Code: Select all

dir "C:\Users\Utilisateur\Desktop\son"

That will print a list of all files and folders in that location.
Post a screenshot of this.

What exactly did you press / click to get this message to appear? (please be precise).
