This topic has posts from 2016 where the solution was selecting Nyquist under preferences. This seems different in that Nyquist was already selected and it does not mention the display of any file paths as I describe below

When I scroll down the Analyze menu to Sound Finder it immediately displays:

/Application/Audacity.app/Contents/plug-ins/SoundFinder.ny
/Volumes/Audacity2.4.1/Audacity.app/Contents/plug-ins/SoundFinder.ny

and then clicking on the item does nothing.

I am running macOS 10.15.5 and Audacity 2.4.1

Thanks, Mark

That's not relevant to your case.

You appear to have Audacity installed twice.

I'd suggest that you trash both versions and install the current "Audacity 2.4.2" https://www.audacityteam.org/download/mac/

Before installing the new version, remove the settings for the old versions by removing three files from

Code: Select all

~/Library/Application Support/audacity/

(Note that "~/" means your "home" folder, not the other "Libraries" folder).
The three files to delete are:

Code: Select all

audacity.cfg
pluginregistry.cfg
pluginsettings.cfg

Thank you, file removal and reinstalling did the trick. I guess two is not better than one.
