Better metering settings (menu improvements)

 
Look at the example in the picture.
If for example I want to change the Peak/RMS, dB range and Peak hold functionality of playback, recording and bus meters it's a real P.I.T.A. needing 36 "steps/clicks" to get there because the menu auto-collapses after each click/selection.
It would be far more relaxing if the menu stayes open and then closes after losing focus
(especially for sub-sub-menu's like the metering one)
 
Other sub-sub-menu's like for example Process-ApplyEffect-Normalize do not need to behave like that as they open a seperate dialogbox and there would be no point in the menu staying expanded
 
I am not quite sure if this might be a windows behaviour issue but couldn't find anything.....if so; could someone please help me in the right direction to change it.
Cheers

I have made a couple feature requests for meters based on these exact issues. I'll vot for yours, you vote for mine. :)

 It is very annoying.

Great one!  It's the kind of thing you get used to, but it can be incredibly frustrating to have to click 38 times as you describe.   Sometimes it seems like the programmers never actually use the program or they'd have never made it work this way. 

Currently we have to navigate through a menu for each and every change made to each and every meter option.
This can be tedious and time consuming if you make a lot of changes.
 
What if there was a window with all the options in one place where you can set up your meters the way you want and even make it default?
 

Although it should probably be in the Project section, as these settings are (I think) saved with a cwp.

The options for Track view and Console view are slightly different, but that could be sorted out... or incorporated so they're the same. And "Reset" should probably be a button not a box (as in new pic).

Anywhere would be fine, but Audio Meters already has a home so to me that would be the most logical place if it's going to be truly "consolidated" without having to visit more than one place.

Me too. There's an issue with my photo hosting sight. Every time I think I fixed it the next day it's broken again.

And now it don't. Link to folder added because it actually works. Still working on a solution for the actual image url.

The OneDrive team tells me that due to new security measures I am no longer able to post direct links to my pics (even though older direct links still work). I can only post url links. Many other sites are doing the same, so I am still looking for a good hosting site that allows posting direct links.

Hi. I have been using Imgur for posting images lately (I do actually not know how much space I have there), and it allows me to post images. 
All the best.

So I tried signing up with imgur but am having no luck getting it to work.

Finally went with Photobucket. Hopefully it will work.
