Talk:Audacity Selection

Peter 15Oct09

I'm not sure using the word "plethora" is necessarily a good idea. Personally I love this word, but I've always been a dictionary-eater. But I'm conscious that for many readers English may well not be their first language and this may then be an obscure word for them.

Bill: How about "Audacity gives you many ways to display the time in the selection bar."

Peter: Sounds good to me - I will fix this.

In "Menu Commands for Selection" what is written is "Selection Save" and "Selection Restore" - However in 1.3.9 and 1.3.10 these have been changed to "Region Save" and Region Restore". I did not edit the manual as I am unsure what the correct and final form will be in 2.0

Bill: They're documented as "Region Save" and "Region Restore" on the File Menu page, so this change is probably safe.

Peter: I can't see them on the File Menu Page - so the question remains, do we make the change in the manual from "Selection" to "Region"?

Bill: Sorry, they're in the Edit Menu page.

Isn't the "label area to the left of a track" more formally known as the "Track Control Box" - or am I wrong about this.

Bill: It's called the "Track Panel".

Bill: More proofing: In the section Track Selection using the mouse -- "There are two very useful things you can do by clicking in the label area to the left of a track, like this" which implies an image should follow, but there is no image. Do we want an image or not? I say not - instead link to the Audio Tracks page.

Peter: A link would be fine by me.
