Audacity could not find a safe place to store temporary files

Post by ShardsofAudacity » Tue Nov 12, 2019 12:14 pm

Using (or at least trying to use) Audacity on Catalina but get this Message every time I launch the Application using the Terminal workaround. Changing the Directory does nothing as it is seemingly reset to the default (~/Library/Application Support/audacity/) on every launch. Has anyone else had this problem?
