gem_hillAudacity has an irritating bug on mac. If I leave it in the background (not doing anything I just move to another program) it will crash when I come back to it and press play. This can happen if I leave it for ~10mins to answer an email and is really annoying. Anyone got alternatives to recommend? #Audacity #Podcast
LWinterberg@gem_hill Hmm, that's news to us. We'll try reproducing it. In the meantime, you may want to try using an older Audacity version.
@LWinterberg I have sent the crash reports over a few times so hopefully there's something useful in there. I'll do some more digging and see if I can find anything else more useful for you
@gem_hill Can you send a screenshot of the error next time you run into it btw? That'd make it easier for us to see which one of the many reports is yours :)
@LWinterberg here they are. I have a feeling this only happens with .aup files, but more testing is needed :)
@gem_hill libcurl being the thing that crashed is unusual as that's only supposed to do stuff regarding online activity. Can you try turning off automated update checks? Are you using cloud projects?
@LWinterberg oo, turning off auto update checks seems ot have fixed it! Not using cloud projects, all local. Will report back if I have the issue again but all seems okay for now (will check for updates manually). Thanks so much for responding/helping <3
@gem_hill very strange. We'll investigate that some more. In the meantime, I guess you should subscribe to our YouTube channel so you get update notifications that way (at least for the bigger updates) https://www.youtube.com/@audacity/
