naming of imported files

Hi,

when I open one file "song.ogg" it is imported with the name "song 1". When I
then open another file "song.ogg" in a different directory it should be named
"song 2" IMHO instead of "song 1" as it is now. Or is there a special meaning of
that "1"?


Lars

Hi
I would be guessing it is keeping track of which folder your files are
coming from , it also has to know how to undo anything you do when editing.

Hi Dave,

I don“t know if I understand you correctly. The number is "1" for both files.
So, no chance to distinguish between "1" and "1" ;-)
It is also "1" when I import the same file twice (via drag&drop from explorer).

Please always state what version of Audacity you are using and what
operating system if you are raising an issue, though from what you
say you must be on some version of Audacity Beta. In the stable
version the two tracks would simply be called "song". I don't think this
has ever been particularly thought through - in the Beta every song has
"1" appended to it in the name in the Track Drop-down menu. I suspect
it was some code to append track numbers which never got finished. The
only case where there is numbering is if you were using a screen reader
and the tracks only had the generic "audio track" name. In that case,
the track number is presented to the screen reader as "1", "2" and so on.

Sorry. 1.3.4 beta, Win XP SP2

It would be useful if there were two tracks with the same name. With "1" and "2"
you could distinguish between them.

I would not see it as especially useful unless the path of the
identically named file was distinguished - after all you could move
the tracks up and down on the screen. And this probably is not a
common case for most users.

sholden@... is not in the database so already has been removed.
The usual reason confirmation emails are not received is that the user's
spam filtering has caught them.  However sholden1@... is in
the database. Do you want to remove that, just leaving sholden@...?
