You could try making a macro that a) saves the project to a temporary file (always same name and same location) b) and then Exit. I don't think you can do that unless you manually delete the unwanted project each time. The "SaveProject2:" command does not allow you to overwrite an existin...

There are two parts to an Audacity project. There's a ".AUP" file, and a "_data" folder. Example, if you save a project as "MyProject", then Audacity creates "MyProject.aup" and a folder "MyProject_data". The audio data is in the "_data" fo...
