[Audacity-devel] Audacity Recovery Utility

[Markus M. <me...@me...>]

Hi everyone,

following requests from many users I have created a Python program which
is able to connect the .au files which are left in the temp directory
when Audacity crashes during long recordings. The utility essentially
tries to do what users have done by hand or by creating substitute .aup
files.

It can be found here

It uses wxPython for the GUI. Please test! If it works I'd like to put
it on our SourceForge space and place a link on the homepage (say, on
the FAQ or so).

I was only able to write this utility because 1.2.x uses incremental
numbers for blockfiles. This highlights the fact that we really need a
real recovery plan before 1.3 is released, because with the new
dirmanager, the numbers are random (or just use the old incremental
naming style for the new dirmanager, as long as the files are in the
main data directory and not in subdirectories).
