The Status Bar messages that appear are relevant to what you are doing at the time. So when you first start Audacity, the Status Bar has the welcome message and version number that Sandra mentioned. You have to start an Audacity recording before the Status Bar shows the message about disk space remaining time. You will need to wait a few seconds after recording starts before the message appears. Or just press R to record and SPACE to stop recording then the message will appear after you press SPACE. There is a warning on launch of Audacity when you have 100 MB or less space in the temporary folder. But 100 MB is only about five minutes of recording time for stereo recording in 32-bit float. If you are recording and run out of disk space, unfortunately there is no warning. Audacity will start corrupting the existing recording when it has no more space. It is yet another thing that is on the list to be fixed. Gale | From Aidan Maher <aidan.smarttalk@xxxxxxxxx> | Sun, 7 Apr 2013 16:42:42 +0200 | Subject: Disk spaceYes that is weerd that it does that. But what I do no that unless if you switched it off under settings, there is a setting wich allow to warn you when the space on your harddrive becomes low.
