Audacity, no crash recovery process?

Submitted by RichR on May 21, 2019 - 3:46pm

UPDATE: Hah, never mind! When I closed the unhelpful Audacity instance and right-clicked on the unedited file to "Open with >" and start over again, Audacity Portable did, indeed, offer to recover the crashed projects, just like 'normal' Audacity does. Not sure why it works that way but I'm thankful I didn't lose all those hours of edits. Smile

Audacity 2.3.1 doesn't use Portable .cfg file

Submitted by jathalls on March 22, 2019 - 1:20pm

I just loaded and installed Audacity 2.3.1 using the ...paf.exe file (rather than the .zip file from the Audacity download site which was available for 2.3.0) and find that it does not use the .cfg file in a PortableSettings folder. There is another PortableSettings folder in the Data folder but that doesn't appear to be used either.

VLC Updating & Default App in Windows 10

Submitted by BPaul_H on March 15, 2019 - 6:20pm

I have VLC Portable 3.0.4 on my updated Windows 10 Pro computer. Two issues:

1) Cannot assign VLC Portable as a default application for the various file types it uses (I've tried all ways).
2) When VLC gives a message to upgrade, unlike Firefox & Thunderbird, VLC "_INSTALLS_" on my machine (in "C:\Program Files(x86)\..."), so I am unable to upgrade.

Audacity 2.3.0 does not run on Windows XP

Submitted by Swwright on October 15, 2018 - 3:19pm

Please remove "Windows XP" from the System Requirements line on the Audacity app page. Audacity 2.3.0 does not run on Windows XP.

Audacity 2.1.3 was the last version that supported Windows XP, according to the Audacity site. In all later versions, Windows XP is "not officially supported". However, up until a couple months ago, Audacity did run on my XP box. Today was the first time I tried to run Audacity since the release of 2.3.0 on the PortableApps site. It does not run anymore on XP.

Mixxx Version 2.1.4

Submitted by Stamimail on September 27, 2018 - 2:57am

Beat Detection feature is missing.
I can't see any Beat Analyzer in Preference, so I can't choose one.

Win7 x64

Edit:
I think I found the problem.
The MixxxPortable folder was located in a path that contained Hebrew charaters.
I moved the MixxxPortable folder to the root folder (D:\) and everything work is working as expected.
It should work no matter where I place the MixxxPortable folder.
