Peter 18Jul16: This is a page to act as a workbench for my testing on W10 and macOS.

Some DEVEL FIXMADE bugs get "parked" by me as they involve downloading plug-ins from sites I know nothing about - I am not prepared to risk that.

Re-opened

  • P2 1890 - Enh: Punch and Roll fails when splice point is at track end fails because the end is not the end
  • P5 1799 - Un-muting with a single track unnecessarily activates the Solo button - original bug ok on Mac, BUT closely related issue still occurs
  • P4 1806 - Extreme negative settings in Change Tempo cause an "apparent" hang/freeze
  • P4 534 - Page Up/Page Down when slider focused also scrolls the project. looks OK on W10 but iffy on Mac


Devel Fix-Made

None

Parked - because I don't have the wherewithal to test these

None


To be tested

  • P1 1900 - Sample Data Import/Export should both be in the new Tools menu
  • P1 1903 - Sample Data Export has duplicate menu entries: Tools & Analyze
    • Both these work for new installs but not upgraders see P2 Bug #1914


  • P1 1886 - Sluggish behaviour caused by the large time taken to draw the Track Control Panel
  • P2 1881 - Truncate Silence shows a spurious unnecessary info error and resets user's previous settings
  • P4 1910 - Enh: Jerky meters, waveform and Timer Record Progress dialog in 2.3.0 on some PCs


The Bugs I have tested so far on Windows and that look to be good to go so far on W10 - still to be tested on macOS and Linux

  • P1 1873 - Export with "external program" deletes output file on closing output dialog I can't make this work on Mac
  • P1 1912 - Play/Stop and Set Cursor no longer sets the cursor at the stopped play position


The Bugs I have tested so far on Mac and that look to be good to go so far on macOS still to be tested on Windows and Linux
