| From Martyn Shaw <mar...@go...> | Sat, 01 Sep 2007 22:46:28 +0100 | Subject: [Audacity-devel] Fw: [Audacity-help] Small bug | I can see something similar in 1.3.3Beta: | Do some process that uses the progress bar. | Minimise Audacity whilst processing. | Wait for the processing to stop (you'll have to guess, or look at CPU | useage). | Maximise Audacity. | Progress box is still there, finished but un-get-riddable of. | Do a couple more processes that use the progress bar. | Old progress bar disappears. | | This behaviour (keeping old progress bars around but hidden) was | introduced by Leland to keep screen readers happy. | | In HEAD this does not happen, as I can't minimise Audacity whilst | processing! As a result, I can't fix the problem, which does not exist | at the moment. | | Should we be able to minimise whilst processing? I guess 'yes'. What | has been done to stop us? Hi Martyn I can now in 13 Aug build neither minimise during a process or click on menus during a process, so it looks as if the issue James (?) fixed that was on the Checklist: "Fix: Disallow clicking on menus when a progress dialog is running, as per 1.2.x behaviour (liable to cause crashes)" which is a desirable fix has also prevented minimisation, which "should" not be dangerous (I am not sure though if the user was suggesting he had to quit Audacity because of the locked progress dialogue, or if he meant that was the only way to get rid of it). I'll ask him. I notice the second part of the issue "Also consider if commands should be runnable in other Audacity windows while a progress dialogue is already running in one window" has not been fixed, at any rate in the build I can look at. Can you check that? I just tried pitch changing a 10 minute tone in one window, then while that was in progress, amplifying a 10 second part of a track in another window. The amplify took 2 minutes and worked but then pitch change got no further and I had to force quit. So if this part has not been fixed and can be, it looks if perhaps it should be. In 1.2.6, Effects and other processes are greyed out until a process in another window is finished. Gale Outbound message virus free. Tested on: 9/2/2007 12:31:15 AM |
