| − | ==GUI Custom Resets for Toolbars & Preferences==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Following on from [http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=94527&start=10 this recent Forum posting] I would like to suggest that we have two custom resets introduced into Audacity:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===1) Toolbars===
| |
| − | Currently in the '''View >Toolbars''' menu the only reset available is '''Reset Toolbars''' which only offers the ability to reset to default.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Now given that the user may have carefully customized their Toolbar layout and which Toolbars they choose to have displayed (as I do) it would be useful to add two further commands to the '''View > Toolbars''' menu for '''Save Toolbar Layout''' and '''Restore Toolbar Layout'''.
| |
| − | *a) These commands could be direct additional entries in the View >Toolbars menu, or
| |
| − | *b) We could add a command in b]View >Toolbars[/b] menu for Reset Toobars with the folling entries:
| |
| − | ** Reset to default
| |
| − | ** Save Toolbar Layout
| |
| − | ** Restore Toolbar Layout
| |
| − |
| |
| − | My prefence currently is for a)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This would also Save/Restore the user's preferred Time display format in the Selection Toolbar.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===2) Preferences===
| |
| − | I would also suggest that a simple way to save and restore a user's carefully set Preferences would be a good addition to the Audacity toolset.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We could either introduce commands for this or add buttons to each of the Preferences panes for Save Preferences and Restore Preferences.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If either, or both, of these ideas gains traction here I will write up a proposal for this.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | And yes, I do realize that this is achievable by carefully storing and restoring mandraullically your audacity.cfg file (that's the way I do it all the time right now) but with thse suggestions I'm looking for a way for non-technical users to be able to do it from the GUI.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Of course both could be achieved in a single sweep with a Save Settings and Restore Settings which would work on both at once with a simple save and restore of the audacity.cfg file.

| |
| − | '''Steve:''' or we could go the whole hog and save/restore named layouts (like saving presets in effects).
