However the labels seem to reopen correctly if you save as an Audacity project (AUP) - does that help?
Has this ever worked in label export in previous 1.3.x or 2.0.x Audacity, or have you not used other versions before?
Yes, it reopens correctly as a project. But I need to export to a text file which I use to render data in a different application. I did not use other previous versions.
Do you think it is fixable any time sooner in the future?
You could open the AUP file in Textedit then copy the label tags that look something like this:
Code: Select all
<label t="3.97058800" t1="4.97058800" title="্গহ্যযয"/>
<label t="9.06862700" t1="11.06862700" title="পপিীূ"/>
then in the label.txt file, paste in what you copied, then delete everything except the "t", "t1" and "title" values that are inside the quotes:
Code: Select all
3.970588004.97058800গহ্যযয
9.0686270011.06862700পপিীূ
then press TAB on your keyboard between the values in each line:
Code: Select all
3.97058800 4.97058800 গহ্যযয
9.06862700 11.06862700 পপিীূ
This should then in theory re-import correctly in Audacity as a label file.
But at the moment I can do what I could not do before in Audacity - copy-paste from
http://www.google.com/intl/bn/inputtools/cloud/try/ in labels, or change to a Bangla input language and type in a label, then export the labels correctly.
And at the moment the crashes importing files I told you about by e-mail when Bangla is top of the list in System "Language & Text" Preferences have stopped.
So perhaps this Unicode label export problem is random, like the import crashes that are triggered on Mac by some kind of action involving Unicode are random.
If you have the patience to test, you could try making sure Bangla is top of the list in System Language & Text Preferences. Also make sure in the System Keyboard Preferences > Input Sources... button that a Bangla choice is checked. Then reboot.
If you still have the same problem after reboot (or the problem comes back after a time), try 1.3.7 as a second Audacity version
http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/au ... -1.3.7.zip . Another Mac user I have been communicating with (who I think uses English language) does not have the Audacity audio import crashes in that version.
