MultiTrack as a menu option in "open in"

Post by Anorton »

It would really help my workflow if MultiTrack were available in the "open in" menus of other apps. Sorry if this has been requested before, but I didn't see it in my search.

It does happen, but not always when you'd expect it.

As an example:-
I've been using AudioShare as a quick simple mono recorder. It will record WAV files. When I click on the "Open In..." option, MT DAW doesn't show up. But if I convert the file to .m4a, and press "Open In...", MT DAW is now on the list. Which of course makes no sense, as MT DAW is perfectly capable of handling a 16/44.1 WAV file.

I have no idea how apps register their options with the OS, but I'm guessing that MT DAW needs to register some extra options.

The wav filetype "com.microsoft.waveform-audio" is registered and was working, but now it seems to be broken. I've filed a bug report with apple, with any luck they'll take a look. It seems other apps are specifying the ability to open ALL audio file formats, whereas multitrack lists the supported formats separately (because it supports extra formats, like ogg)
