Package: audacity
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: normal
Me(The Fool): I just recorded this tape into a.wav, let's cut away the
silence at begin and end to save disk space and to make it ready
for gramofile track-splitting
-> audacity a.wav &
-> cutting away silence
Now I want to save into the original file, because what I cut
away was just silence and there's not much space on the
partition.
Audacity: You have to use 'Export WAV' to do that
me: 'Export WAV', double click onto 'a.wav'
audacity: Really overwrite file?
me: Yes
audacity: smartly copies remaining data from a.wav into a new file a0.wav
to not loose the data while still reading it, plans to move
a0.wav over a.wav when ready
me: staring at file list, a0.wav growing and df output:
The partition is to small for both a.wav and a0.wav, let's move
a.wav to another partition and start again
audacity: there is a 'cancel' button (i don't remember the button label,
but it is the only one)
me: presses cancel to stop the writing which is going to fail
audacity: moves a0.wav over a.wav, the original a.wav is gone
me: %@&%#^&@, now i lost the remaining 90% data not written into
a0.wav at this time
Should audacity not have interpreted the 'cancel' as 'stop the complete
export step' and removed a0.wav or maybe just let a.wav and a0.wav live
and let the user remove a0.wav?
