Apart from the glitch that the Audacity in the apps bar must not be active for it to work drag and drop works fine,  I shall log this as a bug in Bugzilla and then close this UP issue off.

Mac: Drag&Drop of a project file onto Audacity in Apps bar or Finder fails if Audacity is active in the Apps bar
 +
 
 +
{{done}} On Mac I can't drag&drop onto either the Audacity icon in the apps bar or an open Audacity project
 +
*{{done}} Drag&Drop of an .aup3 file onto an Audacity app in Finder or the Audacity icon in the apps bar<br>'''Bill 17Jul2020:''' This behaviour is the same as 242 on Catalina. Drag&drop an AUP or audio file onto the Dock icon or Application icon ''when Audacity is not running'' (in 242) works. Do the same when Audacity is running and it does not work. Same now in 300. So it looks like we need to address the underlying issue on Catalina. This is [https://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2437 Bug #2437].
 +
**'''Peter 26Jul20:''' I upgraded [https://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2437 Bug #2437] to P2 as it attracts more visibility as a result of the UP
 +
*{{done}} Drag&Drop of an .aup3 file onto an open Audacity Window fails<br>'''Bill 17Jul2020:''' This now ''kind of'' works. Drag&drop an AUP3 into an empty Audacity window results in the project opening, '''but''' the project remains "untitled" (window title bar still reads "Audacity"). Closing the project window results in a "Save changes?" dialog. Surely this should just open the project, the same as File > Open.<br>'''Bill 18Jul2020:''' Testing with e669b36, drag&drop an AUP3 file onto an empty project window results in the window taking on the name of the file. Closing the window gives a "save changes" dialog. I think this is OK - any drag&drop of any file into a project window (empty or not) should be considered an import.
 +
*{{done}} Drag&Drop of an .aup file onto an open Audacity Window - <strike>''behaviour unknown for now''</strike> <br>'''Bill 17Jul2020:''' Again, this ''kind of'' works. Drag&drop an AUP file into an empty project window and the AUP is imported, but the project window remains "Audacity". Seems to me the project name and window title should become the name of the AUP project that was imported. However you can drag&drop an AUP file into a non-empty project window and the AUP project will be imported into new tracks. So perhaps the project should remain untitled in these cases.<br>'''Bill 18Jul2020:''' As above - this works. Any drag&drop of any file into a project window (empty or not) should be considered an import.
 +
*{{todo}} '''Bill 18Jul2020:''' In the above two cases, on closing and accepting to save changes, the file-save dialog box has no default name. I believe 242 would offer the window title as the default save file name. Shouldn't 300 do this?

'''Leland 28Jul20:''' I’ve pondered this some and it’s going to be difficult to get an exact size comparison.  We can maybe get closer, but unless we can correlate the SQLite b-tree path to a specific sample block, then close is about as good as we’re going to get.  Let me play a bit.

==UP-44 Molestation of project files when applying Macros {{done}} ==
 +
Cliff reported that if you apply a macro to "Files" and you had  a "saved project" open at the time, you would get the "not saved properly" dialog when you next open that "saved project".
 +
 
 +
I can reproduce this on Windows but not on Mac - steps are
 +
#Launch Audacity
 +
#Generate chirp
 +
#Save Project as chirp.aup3
 +
#open new project
 +
#Run a Macro on files from the new project
 +
#Close new project without saving
 +
#Close chirp.aup3 project and exit Audacity
 +
#Launch Audacity
 +
#Observe: Recovery dialog for the new unsaved project (from steps 4-6)
 +
#Accept Recovery
 +
#Observe: the "not saved properly" message
 +
 
 +
 
 +
In fact you don't need the open/saved project to get this - simpler steps to reproduce
 +
#Launch Audacity
 +
#Run a Macro on files
 +
#Close new project without saving
 +
#Launch Audacity
 +
#Observe: Recovery dialog for the new unsaved project (from steps 4-6)

UP-01 - initial launch Done.png

Done.png initial launch message

On initial launch I got a message asking if I wanted to associate .aup3 files with Audacity to click on for launch.

I never normally see such a message with any new versions. I don't get this on Mac Catalina. Leland says that this is expected behavior.


UP-02 - Save Project grayed-out Done.png

Done.png initial launch Save Project grayed-out on Win, Mac & Linux

This was a regression on 2.4.2 and earlier.


UP-03 - Drag&Drop Done.png

Windows

Done.png On Windows I can drag&drop an .aup3 file onto the Audacity app icon on my desktop, or onto an open Audacity project and it launches OK

Apart from the glitch that the Audacity in the apps bar must not be active for it to work drag and drop works fine, I shall log this as a bug in Bugzilla and then close this UP issue off.

Done.png On Mac I can't drag&drop onto either the Audacity icon in the apps bar or an open Audacity project

  • Done.png Drag&Drop of an .aup3 file onto an Audacity app in Finder or the Audacity icon in the apps bar
    Bill 17Jul2020: This behaviour is the same as 242 on Catalina. Drag&drop an AUP or audio file onto the Dock icon or Application icon when Audacity is not running (in 242) works. Do the same when Audacity is running and it does not work. Same now in 300. So it looks like we need to address the underlying issue on Catalina. This is Bug #2437.
    • Peter 26Jul20: I upgraded Bug #2437 to P2 as it attracts more visibility as a result of the UP
  • Done.png Drag&Drop of an .aup3 file onto an open Audacity Window fails
    Bill 17Jul2020: This now kind of works. Drag&drop an AUP3 into an empty Audacity window results in the project opening, but the project remains "untitled" (window title bar still reads "Audacity"). Closing the project window results in a "Save changes?" dialog. Surely this should just open the project, the same as File > Open.
    Bill 18Jul2020: Testing with e669b36, drag&drop an AUP3 file onto an empty project window results in the window taking on the name of the file. Closing the window gives a "save changes" dialog. I think this is OK - any drag&drop of any file into a project window (empty or not) should be considered an import.
  • Done.png Drag&Drop of an .aup file onto an open Audacity Window - behaviour unknown for now
    Bill 17Jul2020: Again, this kind of works. Drag&drop an AUP file into an empty project window and the AUP is imported, but the project window remains "Audacity". Seems to me the project name and window title should become the name of the AUP project that was imported. However you can drag&drop an AUP file into a non-empty project window and the AUP project will be imported into new tracks. So perhaps the project should remain untitled in these cases.
    Bill 18Jul2020: As above - this works. Any drag&drop of any file into a project window (empty or not) should be considered an import.
  • ToDo.png Bill 18Jul2020: In the above two cases, on closing and accepting to save changes, the file-save dialog box has no default name. I believe 242 would offer the window title as the default save file name. Shouldn't 300 do this?

UP-10 - timing tests ToDo.png

Done.png Some preliminary timing tests on W10 with Phase-1 build

UP-3.0.0 is a little slower than 2.4.2 right now 0 except for MP3 export which seems bang on the money.

Amplify takes more than double the time though.

Test file is a 3-hour stereo audio file

UP-3.0.0

  1. Import 3-hour WAV 1:31
  2. Amplify 3-hour audio 2:07
  3. Export 3-hour WAV 2:16
  4. Export as 3-hour MP3 4:36
  5. Import 3-hour MP3 2:07

2.4.2

  1. Import 3-hour WAV 0:50
  2. Amplify 3-hour audio 0.50
  3. Export 3-hour WAV 1:30
  4. Export as 3-hour MP3 4:35
  5. Import 3-hour MP3 1:12


Peter 15Jul20: I did some further timing tests on my Zurich PC today. Also an i7 256 SSD machine, but it seems faster than the HP Envy I have in Manchester for the 2.4.2 tests.

UP-3.0.0 2accd9e

  1. Import 3-hour WAV 0:35
  2. Amplify 3-hour audio 0:44
  3. Export 3-hour WAV 1:12
  4. Export as 3-hour MP3 3:37
  5. Import 3-hour MP3 1:03

2.4.2

  1. Import 3-hour WAV 0:15
  2. Amplify 3-hour audio 0.18
  3. Export 3-hour WAV 1:07
  4. Export as 3-hour MP3 3:40

UP-13 - Move and Rename a closed projectDone.png

Done.png Move and Rename

On W10 and mcOS Catalina I can:

  • rename a .aup3 file
  • move a .aup3 file to a different folder

and in both cases Audacity successfully opens it.

This is GREAT - as this is a tangle with old projects where losers could trip up and lose/damage their projects.


UP-13a - Move after Closing Done.png

It's unclear if this is a bug or desired behaviour. It will go away if we clear the clipboard on closing a project. Paul is very very keen on keeping the clipboard around after closing the Audacity project.

Paul 07Jul20 I'm no longer very keen: I wanted to keep old behavior if it was not difficult to do safely, but now I have been persuaded that there are enough hidden difficulties.

And Paul has now fixed this. RM is fine with the tiny 'regression', that you can close a project and lose a clipboard that previously would have hung around until you close Audacity (and that caused all sorts of problems).

UP-17 - Projects can be larger on UP-3.0.0 ToDo.png

Initially Projects in UP-3.0.0 could be much larger than the equivalent project in 2.4.2

Re-test later

ToDo.png we will need to retest later as the UP development project progresses

Projects are slightly larger as they develop on 3.0.0 than 2.4.2 - but on exiting Audacity 2.4.2 releases space whereas 3.0.0 does not. "Vacuuming" is what is needed, but when and with what trigger(s)

Leland 18Jul20: This should now be corrected as vacuuming at project close has been added.

Windows

Done.png testing on Audacity 3.0.0 6c2cd20 - the bloat-space is released on exit from Audacity (it is slow though seeUP-18)

Testing with a 5 hour mono chirp

  • Audacity 3.0.0 0fbabb0 the .aup3 file occupies 3.134GB

This for me is within acceptable limits

UP-18 - Closing Audacity is slower with UP-3.0.0 Done.png

Leland 18Jul20: This should be much better now. It’s still possible that it will be somewhat slower that 2.4.2 since vacuuming may occur. But, when it doesn’t closing should be just about the same as 2.4.2.

Windows

Done.png Testing on W10 with Audacity 3.0.0 0fbabb0 - seems fast enough to me and with a good progress dialog

Done.png retest

Done.png But Exit or Quit on Mac is much faster than on W10 taking a mere 3-4 seconds cf. 20-plus seconds on W10 with the same project steps.

  • Is this acceptably fast for a one-hour mono project ?

Done.png retest Bill 18Jul2020: Testing with e669b36. 680 MB project, duplicate stereo track, amplify duplicated track (doubles project size), delete track, close and save. Vacuuming takes less than 2 seconds. Acceptable.

Linux

ToDo.png Better than before. It's still slower than 2.4.2, which was virtually instant, but nowhere near as slow as it was initially.

I've not tested this extensively, but closing a saved project seems to take a lot longer than closing an unsaved project.

Done.png retest


UP-19 - Easier opening and deleting Done.png

Done.png It's much easier to find projects for opening and for deleting them

I'm finding that just after a couple of days testing the UP is much easier to manage:

  • Open: only one thing to look for, you don't get confused trying to "Open" the data folder
  • Delete: also only one thing to look for - and on W10 at least the folders and files are always separated so tour aup could be a long way away from its data folder (which could lead to fumble-fingers trouble)

Accordingly the current error message used for the deprecated Save Lossless... and Save Compressed... can be used as-is:


UP-22 Import .aup projects Done.png

Done.png We need an import utility for .aup projects from Audacity 2.4.2 and earlier.
Bill 22Jul2020: There was an AUP import bug that was fixed in commit 7bb2417 so this should probably be retested
This is what I found.

  1. In Audacity 2.4.2, import or create a stereo track with exactly 5 minutes of audio
  2. Save the project
  3. Quit 2.4.2
  4. Start Audacity 3 commit 0c14e61
  5. Open the project from step 2
  6. Zoom into the end and play the last 10 seconds of the track
  7. Observe - there is audio missing from about 4m 57.215s to the end
  8. The waveform is there but if you zoom in far enough the waveform disappears - not even a flatline
  9. If you now zoom out and select the entire track and do Repeat with 3, you will see gaps between the repeats.
  • Done.png Windows - works properly - can be opened or imported
    • Peter 22Jul20: reteste with Audacity 3.0.0 7bb2417 - all fine, Bill's steps now work with no missing audio

The new backup Macro command "Save Copy" appears to effectively be a duplicate of "Save Project2"

  • Leland 07Jul20: it’s really not a duplicate (I had the feeling at first too). The difference is that once “Save Project2” writes out the new file, that file becomes the active one. With “Save Backup” the original file remains the active one.

  • Done.png Simultaneous playback and recording
    • James requested: Can you do some testing of play-through record please Peter? The point there is that we are both reading and writing the database, so there might possibly (low probability) be new issues around lock files. It's unlikely, but let's find out. So for worst results, play back a mix of 4 stereo channels, and record stereo and at the highest sampling rate your card offers at the same time. If we're unlucky this might get SQLite in a twist. It might try to do things in big batches and lock us out for too long.

On Mac when I first use Save Project As I get a blank filename offered and Documents as the location (which is good)

When I next use Save Project As a) The location offered is Session Data (this is bad) b) The project name field has: New Project 2020-07-10 11-53-11N-2.aupunsaved.aup3 - which looks like a temp filename c) Pressing Save button saves it with that rubbishy file name

UP-33 History window shows misleading "space used" ToDo.png

The "Total space used" in the History window may indicate much less than the size on disk.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Generate 1 hour Rhythm Track
  2. Save Project
  3. Undo
  4. Generate 1 second "pluck"
  5. Observe: The project size is over 600 MB with 1 second of audio and hardly any Undo history (only the "Pluck").
  6. Observe: "View menu > History" shows: "Total space used: 172.3 KB"

Proposal:

  1. For the History window to indicate both "total space used" and "size on disk" for the project.
  2. For the History window to provide an option to "compact project" (vacuum the project) to reclaim disk space.


Peter 16Jul20: Steve wrote by email: This is looking better, but I'm not sure that compacting is working correctly.

I've been playing with a project, adding long tracks and deleting them to build up a large database, then deleting all tracks and generating a 1 second "ping".

  • On saving and closing, the AUP3 file was 1.3GB.
  • On "compacting" with "DB Browser for SQLite", the file size went down to 524.3 kB (524,288 bytes).

The checkbox "Compact at close" is selected.

Leland 28Jul20: I’ve pondered this some and it’s going to be difficult to get an exact size comparison. We can maybe get closer, but unless we can correlate the SQLite b-tree path to a specific sample block, then close is about as good as we’re going to get. Let me play a bit.

UP-38 Default File Save Location Done.png

Bill 20Jul2020: If the audacity.cfg contains the preference "[SaveAs]<newline>Path=/Users/<etc>" then 3.0.0 will use that as the default save-as location.

Version 2.4.2 ignores this setting and instead uses "DefaultOpenPath=/Users/<etc>" for the default save-as location.

Furthermore, version 3.0.0 does not write to this setting when using a different save-as location. The upshot is that a user of 3.0.0 will always get the location from the "[SaveAs]" setting (if they have one - apparently starting with a virgin CFG this setting will never be created).

IMO 3.0.0 should behave the same as 2.4.2 unless we decide otherwise. In any case the current behaviour of 3.0.0 is unacceptable.

There may be a bugzilla enhancement request for user preferences for default Open / Save / Export / Export Multiple paths.

Leland has introduced a new command to compact the project - we subsequently removed this cimmand

Done.png "File > Compact project" removed

UP-41 Opening a Saved project can get a "Project Recovered" message Done.png

Testing on W10 with Audacity 3.0.0 757bc0b - also happens on macOS 10.15.6

At its simplest:

  1. Launch Audacity
  2. Save Project (as projname say)
  3. Exit
  4. relaunch
  5. Observe: Project Recovered dialog

I get the same if I generate a chirp as step 1.1 Which is what I need for my test Macro - and this bug kiboshes that Macro nicely ...

The workaround is to

  1. Accept the offered recovery
  2. Save the "recovered" project overwriting projname.aup3
  3. Exit
  4. Relaunch
  5. Observe: no recovery dialog
  6. Open Project projname
  7. Observe: Project projname opens

UP-44 Molestation of project files when applying Macros Done.png

Cliff reported that if you apply a macro to "Files" and you had a "saved project" open at the time, you would get the "not saved properly" dialog when you next open that "saved project".

I can reproduce this on Windows but not on Mac - steps are

  1. Launch Audacity
  2. Generate chirp
  3. Save Project as chirp.aup3
  4. open new project
  5. Run a Macro on files from the new project
  6. Close new project without saving
  7. Close chirp.aup3 project and exit Audacity
  8. Launch Audacity
  9. Observe: Recovery dialog for the new unsaved project (from steps 4-6)
  10. Accept Recovery
  11. Observe: the "not saved properly" message


In fact you don't need the open/saved project to get this - simpler steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Audacity
  2. Run a Macro on files
  3. Close new project without saving
  4. Launch Audacity
  5. Observe: Recovery dialog for the new unsaved project (from steps 4-6)
  6. Accept Recovery
  7. Observe: the "not saved properly" message
