Add an earcon for the \ character #4

Closed jscuster closed 3 years ago

jscuster commented 3 years ago

In windows paths, the \ character is used multiple times, IE c:\Users\Fred\Desktop\Radio\80s\80s.lnk. I added an earcon for that. If it's useful, cool, if not, that's fine too. I like it on my system, so thought I'd share. I created the earcon in Audacity, and release it to the public domain. I also made the appropriate change in the code.

Hey @jscuster, thanks for this earcon! I definitely welcome any new earcons, as I don't know how to make them myself.

I'm sorry, I'm still getting used to GitHub, I just noticed your message. I'm glad you found that earcon useful. If you need/want others, let me know. I just opened audacity, went to the Track? menu, the one left of Effects, and picked one, the Risit drum in this case. Then I mucked about with the effects menu, reverse, speed up and add echo, slow down, etc. Control-C will undo, you can use it to go back each step until you get to the original file. Control Y is redo, I think.

I made another effect starting with a dropped metal water bowl sound. When I was done, you'd never know it was a water bowl, but it was perfect for a dieing monster sound.

Audacity is free and accessible with NVDA, but the newer versions are said to be spying on us, so you might want to stick to older, open source versions from github if you want to go down that rabbit hole.

You're awesome, keep up the good work!
