Export Multiple and FFmpeg

[chrzaszcz]

It was fine in 2.1.0; I don't remember when I started using it like that.

I'm reviving this thread because although the issue of labels, multiple tracks, and export multiple appears in the ‘Known Issues’ section of the 2.1.2 release notes, it appears to have been fixed (by the way, I haven't added my OS information because I'm running Audacity on two different computers that run on two different operating systems – you may want to add an option for that, and in this case, the OS is 10.10.5).

Probably not worth it for the few people that it affects. Just select the one that you use most, or like most, but if you're posting about an issue on the other, mention it in your post.

Thanks but it is not fixed: http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1199. The steps to reproduce still reproduce - I have just done so. Not necessarily all labels will be affected.

Exactly. I would need seven dropdowns to list all the OS'es I could run Audacity on.

You're right, I'm sorry, I was using only two files on two tracks with two labels. By the way, would it e difficult to allow people to list more than one operating system at once? If it would be, perhaps you could just create a ‘Multiple’ option and leave it at that?

It is not difficult to add additional boxes for additional OS'es but it would be a pain for the overwhelming majority because if they did not select "None" in those additional boxes the registration form would be rejected. Without such a check there is no guarantee that the user with multiple OS'es has filled the form correctly.

"Multiple" would tell us less than if you filled in your main or most popular OS, which is what we recommend.

Also at this late stage we can't add any extra items in the existing dropdown because it could change the already saved OS'es for some users.

Alright, and I see the instructions for the OS option say to select your main OS if you have more than one. If you ever do want to expand on it, I'm guessing the easiest thing to do would be to create a ‘Multiple’ option and have it trigger a text box that you would then manually enter your OSes into, but the current system seems to be generally alright the way it is.

So which is your "main" OS chrzaszcz ?

[chrzaszcz]

Yosemite, I'd have to say. I just added it.
