Re: [Audacity-devel] Automatic crash recovery committed

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

Martyn,

this is an edge case. Since the project only contains silence, there are
no .au data files in the data file directory. Thus, the data file
directory has not yet been created. Of course it could be optimized to
ignore this warning, but in any case for real-world projects (which have
data, otherwise it would not make sense to recover them after all) this
will not happen.
