Odd. It's standard isn't it that "Look in:" only has root and system folders?

Do you mean you can't see folders in the main window, which 
you then select and double click on (or hit ENTER) to navigate? 
Have you got a screenshot to explain? It is working for me on XP,
and once detected the library remains detected in Prefs., unlike
FFmpeg.

Just checked. Works for me.

Apologies to LRN, since I wrote that, I updated and I noticed FFmpeg
detection works on Windows.

Oh, I see you were focused on the "Look in" itself. It *will* show any 
folder, but starts with just Desktop, top-level folders, and the 
branching down to the current folder (not just root (?) and system 
folders). It's for going *up* the hierarchy, not down (except from 
Desktop to one of the top levels).

What I wrote is that when I go up the hierarchy with "Look in", I cannot 
go lower. This is because no subfolders are shown in the main pane, 
where they usually appear.

D'oh! The list moderator held this msg because the jpgs are too big. But 
please look at my description of the filters and I think you can 
replicate the bug.

The last time I "browsed" for LAME, I selected it in the Audacity folder.
So, the "where is lame_enc.dll" dialogue opens there (for me on XP)
and that folder is selected in "Look in". If I click "Look in" and
select "C:" or "D:", their folders appear in the main window, and so
does "lame_enc.dll" if it's there.

OK I understand (but can't replicate on the XP machine I am on now). 
Do you see the "places bar" on the left? That might suggest the window
is working properly if you are on Windows 2000 or later. 

Could you possibly check this on 1.3.5 release, as we need to be aware
of if this is a potential problem there? 

Thanks

I tested HEAD on Win XP and it works fine, but not on Win 2k Pro, where 
I build (images: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/files/no_folders.jpg 
and http://audacity.sourceforge.net/files/folders.jpg).

Audacity 1.3.5 works fine on both Win versions in this regard.

Thanks, Vaughan. OK I will add it somewhere to the Checklist,
though I guess it's not P1 given your workround, also that you don't
need to locate lame_enc.dll in Preferences, just drop it into the same
folder as the Audacity executable and you're ready to export MP3.

If you see this problem elsewhere with any of the filters e.g. in
Import or Export, or locating FFmpeg, please let us know.

I still think this is a P1, because it occurs in *every* open/import 
dialog on Win 2k Pro. I doubt that typical users would figure out my 
workaround, and it is very non-standard behavior. I guess nobody else 
can replicate it so I'll take a look at it when I get a chance.

Also, in the prefs for FFmpeg, the buttons should be disabled if FFmpeg 
isn't built in (or loaded). And the Download button links to a missing 
page (which should not be on the Audacity site anyway for legal reasons).

Export dialogs, too. I think *any* file spec dialog. And it's worse for 
Export because the workaround isn't available (there's no "All Files: *.*").

Doing it like LAME is fine, I think, just not actually hosting the DLL 
on the Audacity site.

Yes.

It's fine to disable the buttons if FFmpeg support isn't compiled in,
and the Prefs.will state that. But if the library isn't loaded (Prefs.
displays as "FFmpeg library not found"), the buttons need to be 
enabled so that you can browse for or download the library?

Just to be clear, we have a LAME FAQ, pointing to Buanzo's site in 
Argentina for LAME downloads. FFmpeg will probably be worth a 
FAQ of its own, so why don't we create a FFmpeg FAQ as a holding 
page, and LRN point it there? Then if Buanzo is agreeable, host 
FFmpeg libraries on his site and the FFmpeg FAQ points to those?
Leland is currently hosting a Windows FFmpeg binary, but for the 
same reason as LAME, hosting a binary in the US isn't really advisable.  

Note that I think we've more or less agreed to migrate the web site 
FAQs to the Manual Wiki, and they have mostly been copied across
"as is" already, but I don't know exactly when we might want to do it.
The Manual FAQs aren't ready now anyway, as they contain quite a
few older FAQs that need to be changed/incorporated.

Now a P1 on the Checklist. Could conceivably affect Win 98/ME as well, I
suppose.

Try it again Vaughan.  I've just installed Win2k here and found the 
problem.  See if it work for you.

BTW:  Does the record and play icons on the Mixer toolbar display 
improperly for you too?

Hadn't noticed that before, but yes 
(http://audacity.sourceforge.net/files/about.jpg), the gray behind the 
tabs should extend all the way around the scroll, I think.

Also, I occasionally see a little rectangle at the right of the menu bar 
that's a weird, varying color, not gray. Something to do with themes, I 
think.

Yes, inverted. Mentioned it a while ago but nobody else could replicate 
it and I haven't looked into it.

Jan was mentioning something not dissimilar on XP, though I have 
never seen it - looks like the remains of a dropdown menu though:

When I've seen it, it's just a block of a varying color, so I think a 
more general erasure issue.

It was always background (unerased indeed).
Applies only when started maximized and disappears after some operations.
My screen is 1024x768.

I sent more details to Gale (24.6.2008), I can repost here if you wish.
(In the same mail I warned about an unrelated problem:
the following setting is sometimes used and/or written to audacity.cfg:
X=-31975
Y=-31975
This is related to hiding of audacity window. Audacity is not minimized, 
but its window is on coordinate -31975.)
