rm ~/.audacity-data/audacity.cfg That could be made into a downloadable bash script Remember, any external sledgehammer must first ensure that Audacity is not currently running. So, even though the above should work just fine, it is not bulletproof. With only a tiny bit of editing the same would wo...

Currently, most if not all of Audacity's dialogues open in a fixed position at a fixed size and, in general, may not be resized by the user. By "dialog" I mean those windows which open (modal or modeless) when the user issues a command from the main Project window. Some examples are: Preferences, Ex...

Best chance of acceptance BTW is to get a patch Your wish is my command, find patch attached… This is a bare-bones patch; its only feature is to add a button at the bottom of every Preference dialog panel: "Reset". Clicking this button immediately results in a dialog which warns you of the dangers ...

In srcMenus.cpp function OnPreferences() which is at or near line number 3334, a few lines into the function we see: #if defined(__WXGTK__) // Workaround for: // // [url]http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458[/url] // // This should be removed with wxWidgets 2.8.13 is released. wxRect ...

Imagine you have 2 (or more) users registered on your computer (I'm not sure of the details on Mac or Linux) - let's say Joe & Joan; ignoring the concept of administer rights (at least for now) let's say that Audacity has never been installed on this computer. Joe logs onto his account and installs ...

This thread has gotten way off topic. The question under discussion is how to give all 3 platforms the ability to "reset" the CFG file. There are 2 NOT-mutually exclusive camps/sledgehammers: 1) a control within Audacity (while running) which will cause the CFG file (and possibly its RAM (while runn...

Plan D: Add additional controls to the Meter Preferences dialog: t trigger dB, x samples before clips show; y samples before it holds; z.z total fade time (.75z seconds would be fully saturated, .25z would fade from fully saturated to gone). Change the current clipping menu item from a single checka...

Does this mean Ed that when you do your reset from Prefs, you don't force restart of Audacity? How I currently do it is to not have the reset done until Audacity exits. Other options exist, as I said before, the configuration class has very good tools for this sort of thing and, as long as no prefe...

There is a small chance that your problem is that the file name is too long. The entire filename including the path: X:folderfoldermore foldersa really really … really long filename.aup has a maximum length allowed. Gale and I worked on this a few years ago but could never get anyone to review my pr...

is there any reason not to make the Noise R... dialogue modeless? With the possible exception of the user wanting to apply the cleanup to the entire track from which the noise was selected (my gut feeling is that this is a very high percentage of the cases and why I suggested my solution in the fir...
