Audacity 'portables' - v2.1.2 & v3.1.2 - 64-bit ONLY

[mikewalsh]

Afternoon, gang.

I've been meaning to pack this one for quite some time, since I came across the older of these two AppImages the best part of two years ago.

There are two 'portable' Audacity packages here:-

v2.1.2 - this works nicely in anything from Bionicpup64 backwards.
v3.1.2 - this is for those of you who absolutely MUST have the very newest of everything, and was released only a few weeks ago.

I don't think I need to explain its operation, since it's been kicking around the kennels for many years, and I think most of us know how it works.

---------------------------------------
You can find both packages here:-

Help yourselves to the one you want. As always; d/l; unzip; move the portable anywhere you want, though outside the 'save' is best. Click to enter, click 'LAUNCH' to fire it up. Additional scripts allow you to add/remove a Menu entry if so desired. The 'MenuReadMe' explains how to use these.

Enjoy!

Mike.

Hello Mike,
I've just installed v3.1.2 in BookwormPup 10.0.7. Have not made use of it yet but on startup a panel opens telling me that v3.6.0 is available and offering to install the update. I'm just wondering if the portable version can be updated in this way or not.

Regards,

Ken.

@keniv :-

No idea, Ken. I've never investigated, 'cos unlike many people, I'm not that bothered about always having the very newest version of everything. If summat works, I usually leave it the hell alone.

You could always try, but as it's based around an AppImage I wouldn't like to say. The risk is on YOUR head, mate!

(Try the update trick with a copy of the portable. That way, you still have a working 'original' IF the update goes tits-up.)

Well to be honest Mike I probably don't need the update either but as I have a backup of the save folder and the portable I thought I would try it. It downloaded audacity-linux-3.6.0-x64 to/root. I'll deleted this and will shutdown without saving and hope this leaves nothing behind and stick with v3.1.2. Thanks for the help.

Ken.
