Timer record: if a labels are present recording starts at last label position - not cursor position
Last modified: 2020-04-17 07:15:55 UTC
Timer record: if a labels are present the timed recording starts at the position of the last label position - not cursor position as expected (and documented). This is in direct contrast to Record on New Track which starts recording at the cursor position regardless of any labels. Testing shows that this is a regression on 2.2.2
Upgraded to P2 due to the long-standing regression. This was first reported by user Emerogork on the forum: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=109829&p=390686
Fix committed in: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/b68c417
(In reply to Leland Lucius from comment #2) Tested on W10 and macOS 10.15.4 with Audacity 2.4.0 b68c417 The Timed recording now starts properly at the cursor position
(In reply to Peter Sampson from comment #3) The other use case to consider 1) set "record on a new track" to be on 2) generate 30 second chirp 3) add a label at 20 seconds 4) save project 5) set cursor at 10 seconds 6) Initiate Timer Record 7) Observe recording starts on new track at ten seconds This is good and desired behavior as if in stead at Step 6 you just press record, then the recoding also starts at 10 seconds (the cursor position)
Works as expected on Linux.
