Re: [Audacity-devel] Audacity Error

Hi Simon,

 

Yeah, I did that, and that just deepened the mystery.... That's why I
wanted someone else to try it and see what it did.

Hi Todd, I would step into that piece of code. It might reveal the
problem.

Dear All:

 

I posted something about this earlier but never got a response, so maybe
I can get someone to try this for me.

 

I have run into a problem with my version of Audacity. It has to do with
the Portable Settings Directory. If I rename this directory (say Poot
Settings or something),

And start Audacity, the Filenames.cpp code will attempt to make the
Directory c:\Documents And Settings\{myuserid}\Application Data\
Audacity as the gDataDir.

(This happens around line 112 in my copy of FileNames.cpp).  I am
running this in Visual Studio on Windows XP..... Audacity version
3.11-alpha Dec 29 2009.

 

 

	But when I run this in the debugger this directory is never
created, which eventually will affect my ability to Export into my
database the actual sound file,

	I believe this is the root of the problem since the data
directory that I think I am using doesn't actually exist.

	 

	Can someone attempt this in their environment(s), with the
debugger, and see if you are seeing the same behavior?

	 

	I can Export and Import in files directly with Audacity, but
when I attempt to do that with my database something gets confused and
it writes out a blank sound file eventually.

	I am more curious about the FIleNames.cpp code and whether
people see the same behavior in terms of the directory not being there.
I am thinking the import/Export

	Stuff in Audacity proper works because it puts the file in the
current working directory....and it defaults to there so it finds it.

	 

	Thanks,
