Re: reset Preferences CFG file

Ed. Leland tried this with your reset.cpp on Mac: #!/bin/sh g++ -o Reset.app/Contents/MacOS/Reset -DMAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED=1040 -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 `wx-config --cxxflags --libs --universal=no` reset.cpp but it makes no interface and does nothing when run. He says he will try to see wheth...

Re: reset Preferences CFG file

In re. Portable Settings: …I did not figure out anything about where the audacity installation was in the case that a Portable Settings folder was in use. But now I tested your external app for that case on Windows 7. If audacity.cfg and pluginregistry.cfg are in a Portable Settings folder in an Au...

Re: reset Preferences CFG file

My personal belief is that, given that these files are tiny, the application should create a date-named (audacity26November2014.cfg) backup by renaming the current file instead of deleting it That's a neat idea - I like it :) Or perhaps it should be a full date and time stamp. That said, I don't se...

Re: reset Preferences CFG file

@Ed, I have not seen a new "single button" patch that deletes audacity.cfg, so I propose to try your patch "as is" on Mac later on today.

Re: reset Preferences CFG file

Rescan without selecting a plugin does not remove that plugin from pluginregistry.cfg. Can you see any reason it should not do so? Is it supposed to be removed from the plugin registry, or just marked as "don't use"? I'm not sure what the intention is. I can see a good reason for keeping ...

Re: reset Preferences CFG file

I am not sure of the best way to build it on Mac, so I asked Leland. Of course we can still post unofficial external reset apps for Mac and Linux on the Forum if developers don't want to officially distribute an external app. For my primitive effort on Mac, I used bash rm to delete audacity.cfg and...

Re: reset Preferences CFG file

It would be better to fix the bug than program for existence of a bug. Absolutely, but this is all very new and there are a lot of "unknowns". For example, if a user tries to load/install a plugin that crashes Audacity, can it be guaranteed that Audacity will launch if the effect has been...

Re: Padding in m4a file

On Windows, Audacity 2.1.0-alpha imports the file correctly using FFmpeg 2.2.2 but Audacity 2.0.5 using FFmpeg 0.6.2 adds padding as you describe. Your Audacity 2.0.4 will only be using FFmpeg 0.6.2 or earlier because that is all it supports. So I suggest you update your obsolete version of Audacity...

Re: Importing AIFF files results in weird stuttering playbac

Try Audacity > Preferences..., Recording section then adjust "Audio to buffer". If you are playing to an MBox, Audacity does not officially support that hardware. If you are using some other external playback hardware, set Audacity project rate (bottom left) to 44100 Hz and set that device...

Re: Locating an LV2 Plugin

For the benefit of others, the Audacity Manual lists the LV2 locations that Audacity searches:
