Audacity Portable 1.3.11 Pre-Release 2

Testing now.

When the bug in PAL is fixed, will it automatically remove the leftover file when the app with the fixed launcher is run?

EDIT: For the test release, you might want to install to X:\PortableApps\AudacityPortableTest by default (it currently installs to X:\PortableApps\AudacityPortable by default)

EDIT 2: Upon first run, it asks if I want to associate .aup files with Audacity. If I click yes, will the launcher take care of it, or is there a way to disable it asking this so the user doesn't get confused?

EDIT 3: It also asks which language to use for Audacity on first run. Shouldn't the launcher take care of this?

EDIT 4: It doesn't actually launch from the menu at all. (Before I had opened the AudacityPortable.exe file directly.) Using 2.0 Beta 4.

If Audacity Portable can detect LAME automatically, how come you have to go into preferences for it to detect ffmpeg?

I have a couple issues with the ini. The end user shouldn't have to rename the ini and change the name of the section heading to get it to work. It should be like every other app where you just copy the ini over and change the settings you want.

Also, shouldn't there be more options in the ini, such as:

AudacityDirectory=App\Audacity
SettingsDirectory=Data\Portable Settings
AudacityExecutable=audacity.exe
AdditionalParameters=
DisableSplashScreen=true

The settings seem a little backwards. It seems to me that the Audacity settings should be stored in the Data\settings\ folder and the launcher settings should be in a different folder (maybe Data\launcher settings\)

These are just a couple opinions that I think would make this release similar to all the other releases.

I'm having a problem with this app, it won't load.

The launcher runs for a few seconds, then sometimes the actual app starts up for a second or two, then the app and launcher shut down. No error messages. Installed to hard drive and using XP SP2.

1. In Help/About I notice it says it's using %APPDATA\Audacity (second tab, scroll to the bottom). Is that normal? I don't think anyone wants their Audacity temp data on their flash drive, but after I exit Audacity, the directory remains. The directory contains two empty folders, a zero-length file, and a 2kB file.

2. Purely cosmetic, but for the portable build, shouldn't you guys get some credit in the thanks? I know PA normally doesn't alter the base program, but since it's open source, and you are creating a derivative work (in a sense) I believe you're completely justified to add yourselves into the special thanks/credits.

I have a question. Will this run from the, er, PAM mod R34 menu?

EDIT: TWO, actually. Will this run from eXpresso as well?

Works beautifully (both in actual use and from the MOD R34 menu). It works very well with my desktop version files (and this is coming from Windows 7).
