Export Multiple by Label greyed out in Audacity 2.4.2 on Windows 10 Pro

Hi,

As the title indicates, I have defined several region labels on my track. I want to export each region into a separate file but when I go to file/export multiple I can only export by tracks -- the labels radio button is greyed out. See attached screen shot.

Appreciate any help.

Best,
ileana

It's because you have two label tracks - and the top one is empty.

Export Multiple always uses the topmost label track for export by labels.
