I had thought they were importing as raw-audio and they/Audacity had 'guessed' the sample rate wrong. So instead we need a dialog with something like: "This doesn't look like an audio format that Audacity can read. For more information on audio file formats..." Where '...' could be: " google for 'Audio file format'" " click on the 'More Help' button". Probably best. This would open our quick-help at the appropriate place. If we have the help in time, we'll do the second. --James. |
