Is there a way to configure audacity to remember say 50 or 100 recent files and not just 12 ?

There are no configuration options to do that. You would have to modify the source code and build your own, custom version, of Audacity.

I've had a look into the code, and in AudacityApp::OnInit(), passing file list arguments via the command line is implemented for Windows and Linux only: #if !defined(__WXMAC__) for (size_t i = 0, cnt = parser->GetParamCount(); i < cnt; i++) { // PRL: Catch any exceptions, don't try this file again, ...

Sorry, why does it matter?

Because:

• You may be trying to do something that is impossible
• You may be trying to do something that can be done another way

This is something very specific for my case

but you are not willing to say what that use case is?

Unfortunately, I will void my warranty if I have any hardware changes made right now. The Behringer UCA-202 that I use is a USB device. It just plugs into a USB port, and then you can plug "line level" devices (such as an audio amp, mixing desk, powered speakers...) into it. It has just o...

In my case, I need some information Audacity's stdout provides while the aup is opened

What information?
How do you know that Audacity sends that information to stdout on macOS?

open command will not work for me because it will just open the file and return to the terminal How does it "open the file"? For me, it opens the Audacity project file in Audacity - isn't that what you want? And I need to keep the "Audacity" instance running on the terminal Why?...

cursor turns into a magnifying glass wherein waveform can be expanded or deminished

You may have accidentally pressed the F4 key, or clicked on the zoom tool button. Press the F1 key to get back to the normal cursor.
(See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/zoom_tool.html)

I've just checked, and on macOS you can just do:

I've not tried this on a Mac, but my guess is that you've probably not got the path to the file correct. Try using the fully qualified file name, in double quotes, after the audacity command. On Linux (and it's probably the same on a Mac), if you navigate to the folder where the project file is, and...

That's saying that Audacity can't find a compatible version of FFmpeg. Check the instructions here - is this what you did? https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_and_updating_audacity_on_windows.html#winff In particular, ensure that you download the file " ffmpeg-win-2.2.2.exe " by...
