Hi, if you try to export in MIDI, it will export a WAV.

(Mac OSX 10.10.1)

Title Midi export MIDI exports as WAV
Status (old) active needs info

Hi

I can't reproduce. Anyone else?

Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build 79fb22c - Mac 10.7.5.

This shows that is trying to *name* the filw using a ".wav" extension; what did you type into the name box at the previus screen? And did you check to see if it really is a WAV file, or just a MIDI file that happens to be named with a ".wav" extension?

Hi I didn't type anything in the "save as" file name box. I did just leave it as it was.
I tried to rename the file into .mid instead of .wav
But it really is a wav file.

I think that there's something wrong in the drop-down menu where you choose the file type. But it's strange that this problem comes up with OS X 10.10.1 but not for OS X 10.7.5 (chen lung post).

Chen Lung, did you try to export the file and check if it's a mid or a wav?

Can you remove the underscore in the name of the score?
What happens if you uncheck "Hide extension"?
Can you export as a PDF?

Hi

I've found that the drop-down menu is all messed up

If you

CHOOSE........IT EXPORTS
pdf................pdf
png...............png
svg................svg
flac................wav
ogg...............flac
wav...............ogg
mid...............wav
xml...............mid
mxl...............xml
mscx.............mxl

Maybe OS X 10.10.1 has got some new feature that somehow mess up the drop-down menu?

I just downloaded musescore 2.0 beta1

There it's better, but something is still messed up (last three options)

CHOOSE..........EXPORTS
mscx..............mscx
xml................xml
mxl................mxl
mid................mid
pdf................pdf
png...............png
svg...............svg
flac..............wav
ogg..............flac
wav..............ogg

Hope this could help :-)))

Yes, no mp3 available. Maybe it's *THE* real problem...!

Missing an item (mp3 export option) it messes up some of the items in the drop-down menu...

Could it be !?

Hi maxpierini1

I tried all in 'Export…' and it's still fine.

Within the last few months, a commit was made that changed the order of the list - maybe this is the culprit?

Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build 79fb22c - Mac 10.7.5.

Status (old) active fixed

should be fixed, please update your translations (either via preferences or resource manager)

Interestingly this went unnoticed for 8 months, so predates 2.0 Beta 1 by quite a bit ;-)

I've made a similar stupid mistake in the German translation, translating *.mscx into *.mscz or vice versa.
And, guess what, I just found (and fixed) the same bug in the Italian translation too. So now I'm feeling less stupid ;-)

There are many more languages affected by this bug:

ast, bg, ca, da, eo, et, eu, fi, fo, he, hr, hu, lt, nl (fixed a few minutes ago), pt, ro, ru, vi, zh_CN, zh_TW

Found with
grep -C1 '\*\.mp3' share/locale/mscore*.ts | grep '\*\.wav'

I'm puzzled why this issue has propagated itself to all the languages. Perhaps we should remove these extension from the translatable strings all together.

I think that have been 'inherited' from the 1.x translations, as they also show up in languages that currently don't have a translator, like Asturian.
The extensions do provide valuable context though, so I'd rather keep them.
