Default smoothing will be 6 in future versions. I am pleased we finally increased default smoothing, but don't you think it looks odd to have a default at the extreme of a slider scale? Gale My thoughts too. The extreme should in any case be higher - 10 or 12. If I'm correct, 6 is approx. 150 Hz an...
