Sorry to pick your brains again, but do you know of a Windows music player that does not insist on building a library from your tracks? Foobar2000 https://www.foobar2000.org/ It has an "option" to build a library, but only if you tell it to. It's very lightweight and can play virtually an...

i guess because i built it from source (?)

No, it's because you haven't installed Audacity and are running it with a "Portable Settings" folder.

To install Audacity you need to run: from your build folder.

Compressor, change tempo, and change pitch all work fine here, although compressor has a problem if the selection extends before time=0.0.

I post to another thread which content non-english file/path name.

The problems with non-English characters is being investigated by the Audacity developers. At least part of the problem is due to a bug in a recent Windows update. There may be other issues relating to this.

Audacity does not yet fully support gtk3. I'm not aware of any major problems, but there's a few places where text in the GUI is a bit weird - other than that it seems OK, but I've not tested thoroughly with gtk3.

There's due to be a bug-fix release (Audacity 3.0.1) very soon, so I think it would be nice to get this fix in quickly.

2) I decided based on what I read on this forum to completely uninstall the current version of Audacity 3.0.0 win 10 As it says countless times on this forum, uninstall / reinstall is very unlikely to solve anything. "Resetting" Audacity by deleting Audacity's configuration files is much ...

"Click track" has been replaced by "Rhythm Track" (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/rhythm_track.html) I think it's going to be best to reset Audacity completely. To do that, open the hidden folder: ~/.audacity-data/ (where "~/" means your home folder) Ensure th...

To sum it up, other applications are able to restore their position, so far the only one is Audacity which is not. So it must do something differently. I think this is handled by wxWidgets. In ProjectWindow.cpp we have: wxRect windowRect; gPrefs->Read(wxT("/Window/X"), &windowRect.x, ...

Rather a late reply, but this is logged on the Audacity bug tracker as bug 2723.
