The Folder seems to be intact and was never separated from the files, nor did I ever rename them manually.
I restart, and both of the copied files open with the message “Couldn’t find the project data folder”, as well as the original “Alien” file being completely silenced when I chose the “Treat missing audio as silence (this session only)” option. My “Alien - copy” file was saved within Audacity so I closed it, and copy and pasted a third copy onto the desktop so that before restarting I had the project folder “Alien_data”, the original corrupted “Alien” file, the “Alien - copy” file that I edited with, and “Alien - copy -copy” file just in case “Alien - copy” corrupted when I reopened it. When I came back to begin editing I opened the original ‘Alien’ file and got the “Project check of “alien_data” folder detected 868 missing audio data”, etc etc, message and I chose “Close project immediately with no further changes” and began editing in the ‘Alien - copy’.Īfter saving periodically but leaving the project file open in Audacity for a day (another precaution so I don’t corrupt data), I needed to restart my laptop for internet reasons. After this initial save I copied and pasted a second one next to it and it named it’s self ‘Alien - copy’.
I saved a recording titled ‘Alien’ to my desktop with its Audacity folder on the desktop as well. That way if the original is corrupted I can work off of it’s copy. When I’ve saved and reopened Audacity files in the past, some are corrupted and lost, so to counter that I’ve been saving, then copying the file and pasting a twin next to it on my desktop. I’ve read through message boards where the same issue occurs, but my “Couldn’t find the project data folder” is from a different cause.
