Description Steve Daulton 2017-07-30 19:41:44 UTC

Audacity does not currently support drag and dropping Allegro (.gro) files.

The error message is:

"Audacity did not recognise the type of the file '<path>/<file name>.gro'.
Try installing FFmpeg. For uncompressed files, also try File>Import>Raw Data."

which is misleading because neither FFmpeg or Import Raw will help.

Tested on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 aae0c4c 04Aug17

Tests ok on Mac - I will flag it so

Can't test on Windows as currently there are no nightlies.

RESOLVED FIXED.

I used a .mid file renamed as .gro, and Audacity responded to it by creating a note track (with junk in it?).  I regard this bug as about whether drag and drop of .gro works at all, not about whether Audacity correctly handles all aspects of the format.  Hence marked as tests on Linux +.  Other issues with .gro can be other bugs if necessary.
