Saving Undocked and resized toolbars

Audacity Help Forum Windows
1

I have Audacity 2.0.0, installed from the .exe file. I run on Windows XP Pro, SP2. I am new to Audacity, and find it to be very well done. As a new user, I find the on-line manual to be great–I wish all programs where this thorough.

I have undocked/resized the meter toolbar, and also made some other toolbar location changes. I cannot find any way to specifically save these changes. The program “appears” to save them when I close it. But after working correctly for a few days, I will open the program and all the toolbar changes will have reverted to their defaults.

Is there a way to save these changes that I have missed, or is there a bug in this release? Any help would be appreciated.

(I checked the FAQ, and did a forum search. The only reference I could find to this problem related to Ver. 1.2.)

Do you also get the “Welcome To Audacity” screen? Do all your Preferences Presets revert as well?

I can’t 100% answer your question. I ‘think’ I get the Welcome screen, but I am so used to just clicking to bypass it that I might have missed it.

I can’t answer the Preferences either. On Preferences: Libraries I have had to re-point MP3 and FFmpeg to the correct locations, but I don’t really remember if those events were in conjunction with the toolbar default problem.

I will pay more attention when it happens again.
