Audacity does not have to rewrite the entire file with each change. Inside the file are 'pages' and Audacity only needs to update pages which change. > And how will be managed FS file size limitations? The disk filling up is already a problem with 'pile of files'. We expect to be better off when the FS 'says no' than we were before, and to only lose the most recent changes that wouldn't fit. And to properly alert the user to disk full. We are planning to have a space-meter for 3.0.1, as the disk filling up has been a long standing problem. For 3.0.0 you will just get some warnings when disk space is low, and Audacity will tell you when it can't write any more. As to actual file size, the max file size on Windows-10/NTFS is 256 Terabytes, which should be enough. > Will there be the choice in the preferences to stay with the the old way? > No. We want to remove the problem of recordings getting broken by the pile-of-file approach, so keeping it would be counter productive. If you've more questions, please ask on the forum or on the development email list, as this email list is for translations. --James. > > -- > Sincerely, Stephane Ascoet > >
