You shouldn't need to. No else has to. And we can't do anything about it if we can't make it happen.TheKMan wrote:Forget it. I'll just keep selecting the options each time I Plot Spectrum.
In case the .cfg file got corrupted, I would File > Exit Audacity. Run the installer again with "Reset Preferences" checked. Then try again.

Re: Plot Spectrum drop-down settings not sticking
Good news! As of this reply the settings are sticking in Spectrum. Size = 2048 and Axis = Log Freq. I did not do anything different. I just reopened Audacity and the settings are as I left them yesterday.Gale Andrews wrote:OK, so if you did that reset after choosing your settings in Plot Spectrum, you would have wiped those settings changes out. Is that what you did? If not, read on.TheKMan wrote:How did I reset preferences?
Per Steve's instructions(dated October 10):
If you are using the current Audacity 2.0.2 installer there is an option to reset preferences. Audacity 2.0.2 is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/"

- Launch Audacity, then in Plot Spectrum, set Size to 2048 and Axis to "Log", exit Audacity
