Re: Snap to region label boundary

Re: Keeping Temp files longer or autosave feature

Much better practise and safer to Save a proper Audacity Project as soon as you open Audacity. AFAIK it doesn't even use temp files if you save the project straight away like this. You can always delete the project later if you really don't need it. The clue is in the name "temp" files 8-)...
