Audacity Forum

Over the years we have discussed adding an "Help" button to some of the dialogues - most recently the Effects dialogs. At first I lobbied for a Windows-centric "round blue button with a white question mark" in the top right-hand corner of the window. I even floated a proof of con...

I would be +1 on a unified tool if the parameters were saved so that in the 99.9% of the times that I use it for Silence Finder the odds are very high that it will start out configured for Silence Finder. I have a whole bunch of albums recorded, but not yet split into tracks, on my hard drive. I cou...

Is there any possibility to change the script color, e.g. by a hex code or anything else? It is possible if you compile your own version. I posted the steps in the "Adding Features" forum a while back but I can't seem to find the post now. If you can compile Audacity and wish to go to thi...

I'd be in favour of "Don't show again" if there was also an option to not write metadata.

Can the Metadata window be turned off This seems to be a discoverability issue - I was just offered money to create a build of Audacity which had the Metadata window turned off. When I pointed out that the ability already existed in Preferences the company's reply was something like "Oh, we ha...

Most text and word processors don't allow SHIFT + DELETE to do anything. Wouldn't it be more useful to have SHIFT + DELETE delete the label if open for editing? It seems to be a developer decision to make "Delete+modifier" act the same as "Delete", but I don't know why and I don...
