Audacity 1.3.3, how to export OGG files? [SOLVED]

I can't find the way to export files in ogg format using the latest Audacity (1.3.3). Even in the preferences menu it doesn't appear anymore (edit > preferences > file formats, I only see mp3, no WAV, FLAC, OGG,...) Then when exporting, I can't choose mp3 or ogg, just wav and others.

Anybody knows how this new version works?

Thanks.

running 1.3.3-beta, everything running as it should, make sure you have the correct libraries installed for mp3 and ogg

make sure you have the correct libraries...

Libvorbis should do it for ogg. Additionally, deleting Audacity's config files may help out.

It is strange. I have the necessary libs installed, also tried deleting configuration files, but still the same. Downgrading to 1.3.2-beta solves the problem, though. Here are some screenshots so you see the problem:

Audacity-1.3.2:

Audacity-1.3.3:

And when I select File > Export, 1.3.2 gives me options (wav, ogg, flac, mp3) while 1.3.3 gives me none

Ok, I finally solved the mystery (for me).

When you select Export, a dialog opens with the filename, folder to save it to and Options. Clicking on Options only offered me different WAV configurations, never ogg, mp3 or flac. Solution? Clicking in "browse for other folders" (even if the default was the one I wanted) extended the dialog, and there you can select the format.

It's the most unintuitive design I've seen in quite a while (you should only click there if you want to selct a different folder, not to be able to select a different format!). But anyway, once you know it, it's easy enough

Thanks for the help.
