Re: [Audacity-devel] location of debug report zip

[Leland <ll...@ho...>]

It uses wxFileName::GetTempDir() which checks the TMPDIR, TMP, and TEMP environment variables. And then (on Windows) it calls the Windows GetTempPath() API, which does this:

1.	The path specified by the TMP environment variable.
2.	The path specified by the TEMP environment variable.
3.	The path specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable.
4.	The Windows directory.

So, maybe there’s a TMPDIR or TMP environment variable that is specifying the unusual path.

It should be in what is returned by wxFileName::GetTempDir() since we don’t override the directory.  For me that is C:\Users\Yam\AppData\Local\Temp and is what the environment variable %TEMP% points to.  (<-- I’d check the TEMP var first)

 

That's what I thought, but:

 

1. I asked them to run:

ECHO %Temp% 

and they got:

C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local\Temp

 

2. Their audacity.cfg contains:

TempDir=C:\\Users\\Brian\\AppData\\Local\\Audacity\\SessionData

 

Yet this is a screenshot of the debug report message:

 



Any idea what's going on here?

We have a user on the forum that is getting repeated crashes with 3.0.0 and 2.4.2 when they try to save or export.

 

I noticed that the debug report ZIP file was being written to:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Wondershare\CreatorTemp\

 

That's not normal is it?
