Although the external application is currently Windows only, I presume that, as it is wxWidgets, it could be cross-platform? Does the External Sledgehammer need to be "installed" on Mac? In spite of the clear installation instructions repeated in several places, it seems that some Mac users will st...

Internal sledgehammer: patch attached
As before, only the Device pane has the per-pane reset; the other panes can be added once the design is approved.

External sledgehammer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h2thp8qg5oziuzb/ResetAudacityPreferences.zip?dl=0 This zip file contains an entire Window's solution with source code and icon resources. I also have the icon as a 32x32 XPM if we need it. I have not created a makefile for Linux or Mac. The Windows so...

Ed, I think you've over-complicated this and thereby made more work for yourself. This is not work, this is fun! Remember, any external sledgehammer must first ensure that Audacity is not currently running I thought that the main reason for an external application was for when Audacity wouldn't lau...

partial resets: incremental.png patch attached; only the global Reset All and all the new buttons on the Devices pane function.

Sorry, on my high-resolution monitor it only consumes about two thirds of the vertical space on my monitor. I also give my users control over the font used for this control: all.png default Audaci...

@Edgar > why do think I should not get [my] hopes up ? Do you think this kind of patch is considered as irrelevant by the devs' team ? The Audacity Development Team members are generally resistant to adding features unless they are thought to be relevant to a large percentage of the Audacity users....

First possibility ("seconds" being modified) Second possibility (adding a new format) What do you think about my request ? Should I submit a patch ? I do not think you should modify the current "seconds" format; I think you should add the new format. I also think you should submit a patch, but do n...

Is this something vaguely like what y'all envision: global.png devices.png Source code file & two header files attached; I can help anyone figure out how to compile it on Windows; I could figure out how to do it using make which should probably work for all three platforms. Only the Global & Devices...
