Description Cliff Scott 2020-05-11 15:25:52 UTC
Nyquist effects do not display their Progress Dialog if run from a Macro. Also noted that immediately after running the macro if the same effect is run from the Effects menu that there is no Progress Dialog displayed as well. On Mac this remains this way, no Progress dialog for the chosen effect is displayed until restarting Audacity.

This was first noticed using the De-Clicker effect as it is a longer running effect.

This is also the case on Linux, and I would guess that Windows is no different (I've not tested on Windows).

I've attempted to add this to the release note, but if anyone can word it better without becoming overly verbose, please do.

Re Comment 1: This detail is also so on Windows.  It is per-effect, which may help in locating the bug.

This is a regression on Audacity 2.3.3.

MacOS Mojave, Commit: #3646bb now the progress dialog appears normally.
Comment 6 Peter Sampson 2020-05-30 06:37:22 UTC
Testing on W10 with Audacity 2.4.0 3646bb8

now the progress dialog appears normally when run in a Macro either when running on a project or on a file.
