Description Peter Sampson 2020-06-22 08:41:20 UTC

The new Reset Configuration command does not reset Extended Import preferences.

In the Manual it says:
>Using Reset Configuration will reset all your Audacity Preferences settings to their default "factory settings". 

See: https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Reset_Configuration

Rated P2 as the Manual and app do not agree.
