Description Steve Daulton 2019-07-02 09:48:25 UTC

This bug affects all platforms, but is most obvious on Windows as Windows uses the backslash character as the file path separator.

When testing Robert's script, (https://sourceforge.net/p/audacity/mailman/message/36705482/), Audacity 2.3.3 alpha crashed on my Windows 10 VM.

Testring on W10 with audacity-2.3.3-alpha-282-7857769f96fa8bd6d9954ba5b59bf95dee0b93ec

Running that command in debug causes the most recent file to be displayed - and no error messages

Comment 3 Peter Sampson 2019-07-09 13:39:01 UTC

Running Robert's script from the link in Steve's Comment #0 gives my 3 most recent files (today's projects).

There are older projects on the recent files list but those are test projects that have already previously been deleted

Comment 4 Peter Sampson 2019-07-12 06:20:31 UTC

Testing on macOS 10.14.5 with 2.3.3 alpha jc003

Running the command in Step 1 give the expected result listing the most recent project file- looks to be OK

Running Robert's script also lists the most recent project file - but three lines
a) No file separator …
b) Correct separator, escaped …
c) or not escaped ...
I assume that this is what Robert expects ?

Comment 5 Peter Sampson 2019-08-02 05:02:36 UTC

James has marked this as single platform test OK - so as tests properly in Win and Mac I shall close this
