Re: A (possibly) silly question re "scrubbing", v2.1.1.

But in this case, ctrl (which is available) gets mapped to command. That's confusing and seems like a silly choice,... No, it isn't. On a Mac Ctrl+Left-Click must always be available as a replacement for Right-Click in order to to support one-key-mice and one-key-trackpads. In consequence, Ctrl is ...

Re: A (possibly) silly question re "scrubbing", v2.1.1.

It's sufficiently general that the Mac version of wxWidgets (the interface toolkit we use) maps CTRL to COMMAND. Man, I wish I had a memory like that... :shock: I have to go back to the Mac+ in 1984 to find a Mac keyboard that didn't have a control key. Or is my memory failing again? To be clear, I...

Re: New Limiter in 2.1.1

Repairing disk permissions seems to have reset prefs. Audacity 2.1.1 shows the default warnings and is back to defaults. It still finds ffmpeg and lame in /Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/ But that's a standard location, so no worries there... In a portable install, prefs seem to behave as...

Re: New Limiter in 2.1.1

Spotlight can't find it, locate can't find it and I can't find it if I look in I'm guessing that OS X is hiding it from you, but I don't use OS X so that's just a blind guess ;) Well Steve, as a <fanboy mode on>Mac user, I have to strongly disagree. <fanboy mode off> :twisted: As an average guy, th...

Re: New Limiter in 2.1.1

Now I'm baffled... :shock: I seem to have no file named "Audacity.cfg" on my system. EDIT: nor pluginregistry.cfg, nor pluginsettings.cfg... Spotlight can't find it, locate can't find it and I can't find it if I look in /Library/Application support/audacity/ There's only a directory named "libs", co...

Re: New Limiter in 2.1.1

Is there supposed to be a "debug" button? When I click it, there's a Nyquist error: That is a concern, but I can't reproduce that, Can you give steps to reproduce? It's a brand new install of 2.1.1... Besides having the .cfg problem (prefs not being read/stored when using 2.1.0 next to 2.1.1, it al...

Re: Audacity 2.1.1 crashes on OSX 10.8.5

Sometimes the Repair Permissions without restart has enabled users to read /usr/local/ again. Other times they had to go in as root to change permissions on that folder or just not use it for LAME or FFmpeg. And yes sometimes Repair Permissions can "seemingly" fix issues with ~/Library/Application ...

Re: New Limiter in 2.1.1

Tried it. It's a bit daft to be limited that way. Is there supposed to be a "debug" button? When I click it, there's a Nyquist error: Maximum table size exceeded (10000) -NIL if continued use truncated sound for table ... And I can select the error text, but not copy it :roll: Command-w doesn't clos...

Re: Audacity 2.1.1 crashes on OSX 10.8.5

the "old" seettings directory did have the correct permissions Have you done Verify Disk and Repair Permissions yet? It does not matter what GetInfo says if your permissions are messed up. Gale That only verifies and repairs ***some*** system permissions. Doesn't do a thing for user owned data... Y...
