Hiding Metadata editor on export

The option in preferences to show/hide the Metadata editor isn't working. I looked in the cfg file and there is nothing in there for the metadata editor. What can I add to the cfg file to hide it when I export a track?
Thanks.

Well it works fine for me in 1.3.12 and the latest Alpha nighly build of 1.3.13 - go to Edit > Preference > Import/Export and you should see a check-box titled "Show Metadata Editor prior to export step" - ensure that this is checked off.
There was briefly an earlier 1.3.13 which did not honour the setting of that check-box but that was fixed many Alpha releases ago.

That's what I did. It's not 'sticking'. I can just add it to the cfg file if someone gives me the code.

(The [AudioFiles] section probably exists already, so just put ShowId3Dialog=0 in that section).

Well, I discovered that code (now that I know what it is) was actually already in there but it's not working.
Is there a cache somewhere that needs clearing?

Which exact version of Audacity are you using? (Help menu > About Audacity)

1.3.4-1.1 according to Synaptic. You might remember I downgraded to get rid of those nasty green lines . . .

Oh yes I remember. Unfortunately it looks like you've run into another old version bug.
Were you planning to upgrade your OS soon?

If I remeber correctly he was about to switch do debian... But I'm assuming he hasn't done it yet... Current audacity version on debian stable is 1.3.12.

Drat! That's what I figured. I'm nearing the end of a HUGE video remastering project that I've been at for about two months. I don't want to start mucking around OS/hardware until it's finished, committed to disk and backed up. Should be about another 2-3 weeks. I'm assuming the aup files are backwards compatible? Don't want any nasty surprises down the road.
Oh and BTW . . . it's a she and an old one at that!
