Gale: 12Jan11 Actually I thought we had agreed that loading stuff about "keeping your projects happy" and other random material here was the wrong place to do it.
  • We haven't even explained what a project is.
  • All this is nothing to with a "diagram" and no users who have commented about it by e-mail like it here. Most have said it is completely confusing.

On its way out, I think.
Peter 12Jan11 Yes, but we need to find a good home for it - it is sage advice...
Ed 17Feb11 Move the diagram to the bottom of the Project Window page with a named section to which the link will refer. With the recent changes to the Device Toolbar the image is out-of-date.

  • Bill 06Apr11: Per the discussion above, "commented out" the sections we don't want. Perhaps have a link to Peter's new Audacity Projects page?
  • Gale 06Apr11: Removed the superfluous material. I don't see how to segue it in sensibly. Added the essence of the "golden rules" to Saving with a link to Audacity Projects. A lot of the dire warnings on that latter page could probably be toned down now.

Edgar-rft 06Dec11: The "Hover your cursor over a window element to display the name of the item." doesn't work at all for me. If I hover the cursor over a window element, then name of the linked page is displayed, which is not the name of the item in translated versions. Does anybody know how to add a translated tooltip string to a linked image in WindowElements or any other way how to correct this?

Click on an outlined window element to get details on the functions of that element.
Hover your cursor over a window element to display the name of the item.
