Package: audacity Version: 1.3.12-6 Severity: wishlist When I start Audacity (with or without any audio files specifed on the command line) and then wish to import additional audio files, usually I want them from either the same directory as the files I specified on the command line, or from the current directory. Instead, using the Import > Audio... function from the File menu brings up a file dialog centered on (apparently) the last directory from which I imported any audio in. This is often a completely unrelated directory; then I must (sometimes extensively) navigate to the correct directory to find the files I want. Further, the other directory sometimes has many entries or resides on a different medium, in which case there is a noticeable wait for the unrelated directory to be completely shown before I can start any navigation at all.
This may be difficult to change due to users expectations and/or not wanting to add a profusion of interactive options, but I'd like to have it recorded that at least one person finds this behavior less than optimal. I would prefer that the import directory default to the directory of the most recently imported audio file in the _current_ project (ignoring any other simultaneous or previous sessions or projects), or to the current directory if there is no such file (e.g., the project is blank or only uses newly-recorded audio). ---> Drake Wilson -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages audacity depends on: ii audacity-data 1.3.12-6 A fast, cross-platform audio edito ii libasound2 1.0.23-2.1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libflac++6 1.2.1-3 Free Lossless Audio Codec - C++ ru ii libflac8 1.2.1-3 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libid3tag0 0.15.1b-10 ID3 tag reading library from the M ii libjack0 [libjack-0.11 1:0.118+svn3796-7 JACK Audio Connection Kit (librari ii libmad0 0.15.1b-5 MPEG audio decoder library ii libogg0 1.2.0~dfsg-1 Ogg bitstream library ii libsamplerate0 0.1.7-3 Audio sample rate conversion libra ii libsndfile1 1.0.23-1 Library for reading/writing audio ii libsoundtouch1c2 1.3.1-2 sound stretching library ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtwolame0 0.3.12-1 MPEG Audio Layer 2 encoding librar ii libvamp-hostsdk3 2.1-1 helper library for Vamp hosts writ ii libvorbis0a 1.3.1-1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisenc2 1.3.1-1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisfile3 1.3.1-1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libwxbase2.8-0 2.8.10.1-3+b1 wxBase library (runtime) - non-GUI ii libwxgtk2.8-0 2.8.10.1-3+b1 wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI t Versions of packages audacity recommends: ii libavcodec52 4:0.5.2-6 ffmpeg codec library ii libavformat52 4:0.5.2-6 ffmpeg file format library Versions of packages audacity suggests: ii amb-plugins [ladspa-plugin] 0.6.1-2 ambisonics LADPSA plugins ii blepvco [ladspa-plugin] 0.1.0-2 LADSPA, minBLEP-based, hard-sync-c ii blop [ladspa-plugin] 0.2.8-5 Bandlimited wavetable-based oscill ii caps [ladspa-plugin] 0.4.2-1 C* Audio Plugin Suite ii cmt [ladspa-plugin] 1.16-1 a collection of LADSPA plugins pn libmp3lame0 <none> (no description available) ii mcp-plugins [ladspa-plugin] 0.4.0-1 LADSPA plugins designed for Alsa M ii omins [ladspa-plugin] 0.2.0-6 a collection of LADSPA plugins aim ii rev-plugins [ladspa-plugin] 0.3.1-1 greverb-like ladspa plugin ii swh-plugins [ladspa-plugin] 0.4.15+1-4 Steve Harris's LADSPA plugins ii tap-plugins [ladspa-plugin] 0.7.1-1 Tom's Audio Processing LADSPA plug ii vco-plugins [ladspa-plugin] 0.3.0-1 LADSPA plugin sporting anti-aliase -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
