Hi, I enabled arm on select (by adding the line -EnableArmOnSelect) to the options.txt file.
Worked great. Now I wish to disable it as I do not want this behaviour for my Live set-up (will just use it when producing). Any ideas how to disable it. I tried saving a new options file without the above line - NO GO. I tried putting in a line that was -DisableArmOnSelect...also NO GO.
Any ideas how to disable this once enabled?

Re: How to DISABLE Arm on Select in options.txt
There's something about posting about an issue that immediately has me solving it for myself. I just worked out that I am on the Beta path with Live and I've had a few upgrades since I set the options.txt. So, I needed to go into the latest version and edit that one. Just did that, and saved an options.txt with out the Arm on selection and it's all good now.
Re: How to DISABLE Arm on Select in options.txt
For anyone still looking for the solution on how to disable -EnableArmOnSelect in the options.txt file here's how to fix it:
1. Open (or create) the "options.txt" file in:
Windows: \Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live x.x.x\Preferences
Mac OS X: \User\Library\Preferences\Ableton\Live x.x.x\
2. Add the line "-NoAutoArming"
3. Save the file and restart Ableton
I actually had it enabled without even having an options.txt file and was looking for an answer to that problem aswell.
