Do you have "Save trace colours with measurement" selected in the View preferences?
No, that option was not selected. I even stared at that View preferences screen real hard last night before I asked my question. When I saw that setting, I assumed that it was associated with something that happens during the measurement action so I didn't test it. Because it says "with measurement". For my brain, it would be more intuitive if it said "
Override default trace colors upon save".
In fact,
I wonder why this is even an option that has to be turned on. Are there a lot of use cases where the user wants to re-open a file later and have all their previous color editing disappear?
As a counterpoint, the graph remembers and saves the line "Trace Options" under the Controls menu. There seems to be a different design philosophy here because it retains the setting and I don't have to go to View Preferences and check a box that says something like "
Save Trace Options with measurement".
Either way, it works now and I have attached a copy of the graph.
Next,
is there a setting that will retain the All SPL view that was saved when I re-open the file? As noted in my previous post, the All SPL graph is completely blank when I re-open the file and I have to click each measurement again for anything to display. It's not a huge deal, but when trying to go back to where I left off and working with a large number of measurements (there are 32 in this file) it's an annoyance.
I realize I am griping. On the other hand nothing improves without user feedback. Please know that I do appreciate this software and your willingness to help people like myself that know just enough to screw something up.
