Here's what a default 440 Hz tone looks like on my machine when all Audacity preferences are at their default settings:

Spectrogram log (f):

Spectral Selection log(f):

Wow that's weird. How did you do that? Are you using a customized version of Audacity 2.1.1?

It is not safe because the user may already have deleted the file. Which could just as easily happen if they played the audio in some other "media player" couldn't it? If they are treating Audacity as an "audio player" as you suggest, then why would they delete the file if they ...

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be staying with V. 2.1.1 since the green background color in Spectrogram view has been eliminated in V.2.1.2 "Green background"? Are you referring to "spectral selection"? Here's how it works in Audacity 2.1.2 http://manual.audacityteam.org/...

A more general feature for new labels or label track name to take project name or track name would be valuable too, sometime.

but "completely safe" exceptions would not help use cases where Audacity is just used as a player or viewer. I don't follow. if Audacity is "just used as a player or viewer", then you "open" ("import") a file, view and/or play it, then close. That is "co...

Nor do I think we should drop support for importing files without copy in, which would be a big regression. "I could import a three hour WAV file in 10 seconds but now it takes three minutes". Even if a unitary project file format requires that all dependencies are copied in, that does no...
