Audacity 2.0.4 still crashes

[Gale Andrews]

Looks like success, doesn't it?

Thanks for testing. It's better than 2.0.4 for many people, so it seems, but not a complete fix.

Anyone else feeling like testing is encouraged to try:

Believed free of the bug:
http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/au ... 1.3.10.zip

Crashes for most on import, but not everyone:
http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/au ... 1.3.11.zip

Unknown, but probably same behaviour as 1.3.11:
http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/au ... 1.3.12.zip

Here is another build that has my fix but also sets the locale internally in our code:
http://gaclrecords.org.uk/test-builds/a ... -2.0.5.zip .

It may or may not be a complete fix, so please try to break it, for example by adding ƒ to the name of the Audacity folder then import files with accented characters or symbols in their file name (any character that is legal in Finder).

Looks good. Of course, your previous fix (revert r12334) worked fine for me as well.

The new version works just like the previous one for me (on a Mac mini with OS 10.8.4): drag and drop starts Audacity but does not import anything, but both File/Import and File/Open import audio without crashing.

What is the advantage to a non-technically-expert user of one of these two versions as against the other?

Thanks for testing.

I assume you are referring to drag and drop a file to the Audacity icon?

That does not work in 2.0.4 on Mac and neither does right-click > Open with. I've already reported it to a developer. The problem is not caused by the fixes but by something else in 2.0.4 (and apparently it's not caused by the modules dialogue that occurs if you have a modules folder because I already tried disabling it).

What is the advantage to a non-technically-expert user of one of these two versions as against the other?

The second version of the fix that includes setting the locale internally should be more robust where the user is running Mac in a language that has accented or Unicode characters, like German or French. That second fix has now been added to our source code.

What system language do you run on your Mac?


Gale

[Michael_Graubart]

Thanks for the explanation. That's very useful.

I use English — British/UK, insofar as it is different from English US — but occasional audio files might have German or French names. I haven't tried such files with your latest version of Audacity yet. I'll report when I do.

[Michael_Graubart]

I have now tried the latest version with an audio file which I renamed to include both a couple of German Umlauts and a French acute accent (United Nations!). Both File/Import and File/Open worked perfectly.

My test suite imported fine using File > Import > Audio and using drag and drop into an empty project window ... except in two instances (which I cannot now reproduce). These two cases were for an OGG file and I had set my quality preferences to 16-bit.

Thanks for testing, Bill.

I am not sure why dither is called for OGG - dither does not happen on Windows when importing OGG at 16-bit resolution. Do you have an OGG with absolute silence to test if Audacity is dithering on import?

Can you get that crash in "audacity-r12559-plus-import-fix-macosx-ub-2.0.5.zip" (which does not have the dither changes in r12560)?
