Created an attachment (id=497) Tobias Platen's patch to allow passing subsequent files to Audacity on Linux
Tested on Win and Mac that patch builds and does not affect current functionality. Tested on Ubuntu 13.10 dragging audio files to Audacity icon, using file manager Open (with association set to the format), file manager Open with, and importing files at command-line using "audacity file1.wav file2.wav". Works well in preventing "Audacity is already running". Big improvement. Multiple files are still a problem. With the patch, multiple files can be now be imported with all the above methods if Audacity is not running. But if Audacity is already running, only one of the multiple files will import (no error appears). This isn't a Linux limitation as e.g. Gedit and LibreOffice open multiple files when already running. Also Audacity on Windows and Mac does not have this limitation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615307 Title: opening a file from file manager when audacity is open gives error message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/audacity/+bug/615307/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
