Is it possible to make Time Selection tool as default in spectrum view as render display spectrum only on this tool and the tool also works like cursor?
Or
Is it possible to allow display of spectrum in render + spectrum view when any tool is active on Spectrum Tab?
Or
While activating render tab, the tool is auto - switched to Time Selection?
If you select “Spectrogram” at the bottom left, and don’t select the Spectrum Ribbon, then the Time Selection tool is used by default.
There is very little reason to have the Time Selection tool as default when using the Spectrum Ribbon, hence there is no option for that.

When you activate render tab on spectrogram, the view is switched to waveform when any tool other than time selection is chosen.
Also, when I click spectrogram, the spectrum tab with rectangular selection is showing by default.

This is … with respect … a good thing and makes sense to heavy users

Ok, leaving aside the rectangular selection coming there by default, what about the view changing to waveform while activating render tab?
I only render from montage …
This does not happen if the Time Selection tool is selected.

I have been testing, sometimes the Spectrogram button below takes to spectrum tab, sometimes it goes to edit tab with Time Selection option. When the render tab is first chosen and then the spectrum view is chosen, it works different.
From what I understand, the spectrum render view is working according to what was tab was chosen before. If Edit View Insert Process Correction Analyze and Render options were chosen the Spectrum view is retained. Ideally this would work only from the second file loaded as opening spectrum view for second file depends on what setting was used on the first file. And as you wrote, for the Spectrum tab WL show spectrum on render only when Time Selection is chosen.
To summarize, spectrum view for render is working fine for every tab except for where it is supposed to work. The solution is either to make Time Selection as default in Spectrum Tab or Auto Switch to Time Selection when render tab is activated.
Also, the spectrum tab is not just to remove clicks through rectangular selection. Having time selection as default gives user a chance to play in spectrogram view like a regular audio file with cursor and then choose whatever tool necessary.
I don’t see what you mean, because you can play in the spectrogram view as you can in the waveform view. I mean, this does not depend on the time selection tool.

The default tool to play audio is cursor (and not pencil or play tool) which was also default in spectrum. The user then choose what tool to use. Render was very easy this way.

Alternate + mouse Click plays audio in all contexts, whatever the current tool.
Yes, but the post was about render.
