Description Steve Daulton 2012-09-12 03:50:58 UTC

On Linux, a process type plug-in that is copied and pasted from a text document that uses CR+LF will fail.

Nyquist workbench fails to read the plug-in header correctly, so it does not recognise that it is a "process" type plug-in, hence the symbol "S" is not bound to the track audio data.

Workaround:
Convert documents to use "LF" before copying, or use "File menu > Open".

Comment 1 Gale Andrews 2012-09-13 05:23:48 UTC

FWIW on Windows, creating and copying text with different line endings in Notepad++, the workbench output is correct each time.

Comment 2 Steve Daulton 2015-06-30 15:26:56 UTC

This appears to be fixed in 2.1.1.

(for 2.1.1, the "steps to reproduce" should say "*track*" rather than "S")

Comment 3 Peter Sampson 2019-05-30 09:35:32 UTC

Nyquist Workbench has been declared obsolete for Audacity 2.3.3 onwards.

there is a Proposal for a replacement: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Proposal_Nyquist_IDE
