Pending Feature Requests

This locked page is for the use of sysops to transfer feature requests from the Audacity Forum and other sources. They will be reviewed and where appropriate transferred to the Wiki Feature Requests page. For this page, it is best not to summarise, but paste in verbatim, so the context of the suggestion can be understood.

Not yet reviewed

• Autodetect LAME library: In Audacity, I export my recordings to MP3 using the LAME library. Everytime I install it, I have to go to the Preferences menu and show the path to the library. It's always in "Audacity\Plug-ins" directory. Since it is the default place to put plugins, could Audacity automatically detect if the LAME library is in the "Plug-ins"?
  • SteveTF responds: LAME is a bit different to other plug-ins (such as effects plug-ins). If you put it in the main Audacity program folder instead of the plug-ins folder, it will probably be detected automatically. (seems to work with Audacity 1.3.x anyway).

 

Reviewed but not added - intending to delete

These pending FRs were posted here but on review, appear to be inappropriate for the reasons stated (for example, the Beta already supports this feature). Unless reasons for adding them/more explanations of usefulness/purpose are given, they will be deleted.

• Allow waveform to show label start/end locations A label is supposed to indicate something about the audio (waveform). But currently, labels can't show specifically where they're "pointing to" on the waveform. Perhaps a dotted verticle line extending from the label-line up through the audio waveform would help. Then, when one moves a label-line, they can see where the label hits the waveform. This capability could stay off unless one clicks on a label.... I understand the "snap to" feature, but I want to move a label and know where that label is pointing on the waveform. If the yellow line you mention popped up and stayed active while I click to drag the label, that'd be perfect.
  • GA: just click in the label to make it show the point or region through all the tracks.
