I just tried Mosquito-Killer4 in Audacity 2.1.3 in Windows Vista : it works as advertised, & menu entry is correct ...

OK, that I was not expecting. I know from cat that v3 and v4 appear close cousins of each other aside from the desired changes. I may have hosed my Audacity with one of the bogus install attempts.

Not dealt with the damaged install yet, but I know one failure. Make sure you got ~/Library and not /Library.

Both directories have Application Support and they both have audacity and they both have Plug-ins.

Curiouser and Curiouser (for the moment I quite forgot how to speak good English).

So just to do it, I gracefully removed both Mosquito3 and Mosquito4 from ~/Library.

Audacity thinks they are "Disabled" rather than removed.

It does that on an older machine, too.

Would this be an accidental, undesirable feature or activity, experienced by multiple people on many different machines?

It's an enhancement request or bug depending on your point of view. Audacity does not know if you intended to delete them or intend to reinstall later. Certainly Plugin Manager should have a way to deregister an effect so it is not listed anywhere in Plugin Manager.

The Mosquito effects were automatically removed from the Effect Menu. We can do that for Nyquist plugins, but plugins in other formats would still be in the Effect Menu even though you deleted them, until you did an OK in Plug-in Manager. That's a bug, but it's not an easy fix to test for presence of an effect when opening the Effect Menu because of the time that can take for other plugin formats.

Yes. I got that. That part does work.

bug depending on your point of view.

I did restart the machine in the gaps there. I'm finding it really hard to avoid the "B" word. The listing in Enable Effects is Pure Fiction. It's also preventing me from repairing a damaged condition.

I need to go.

In my opinion Mosquito-Killer4 and Man are complete. The only failure I know of is a MacBook Air who fell into an Audacity Program Unintended Feature.

Found it.

The original code has three periods after -Killer4.

The bad code has a single horizontal ellipsis (2026h) after -Killer4.

This time I watched it happen. This is Mac Text Edit trying to "help me."

I do kozco.com in Text Edit. I'm amazed I don't get stuck with this more often. Maybe I'm going to take the recommendation and use an actual html editor.

That still doesn't excuse needing to go into the system files with a sickle to fix Audacity.....
