There are two ways to proceed.TheBori wrote:Edgar,
Thanks for the history and the look into the code. So much for the "simple fix". I would like to try your proposed change, if it's not too difficult. I've been known to get into the registry, etc. But not the innards of Audacity. If you can walk me through it...
1) The easiest for you would be to let me send you a "fixed" version of Audacity. The drawback to that is that you must trust me not to create malicious software to install on your computer--something I generally would not recommend.
2) Otherwise you must compile Audacity (and as a prerequisite, wxWidgets). The drawback to that is that you must read and follow a fairly long specific set of posted instructions--something I have stepped a number of others through over the years. There are a few benefits to the second method as well. First, after getting set up to compile Audacity and making that first change,it becomes natural to make other changes which suit your personal needs. Second, it is a real learning experience to get set up to compile Audacity and invokes a real sense of accomplishment when successful. Third is the possibility that it might encourage you to expand your horizons--the ability to program in C++ is not terribly difficult to learn (though tough to master) and can be a useful job skill.
Let me know which of the above two choices suits your needs and I will give what help I can!
