I noticed, incidentally, that my attempt to also “save it as” a file on a directory in a flash drive was not successful. I would recommend saving to your hard drive rather than a flash drive. If you wish to keep a backup copy of the project on a flash drive, then try using the option "Save Los...

"no new menu items and no new preference items" A bit of an exaggeration ;) though there has been, for a long time, a resistance against "feature creep" and "preferences creep". While it's probably not a problem for a personal version of Audacity to add new menu items ...

Thank you and I don’t mean to sound rude but your solution does not sound practical
