EnableArmOnSelection in Live 12?

[vasilios47]

having issues with Options.txt in my 12.0 folder, seems like adding -EnableArmOnSelection isn't working? Wondering if this was removed in 12, or if a setting could be added into the UI in the next patch? thanks

I just stumbled over the 'EnableArmOnSelection' by coincidence in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAaxuEl ... nel=TAETRO and immediately tried it out: it works! (Ableton Live Intro 12.0.1)
I created an 'options.txt' file in this folder:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live 12.0.1\Preferences
With nothing but his line:
-EnableArmOnSelection

After restarting Live, it works.

What I'm curious about:
There is no reference to the parameter '-EnableArmOnSelection' on the Ableton help-page about the options.txt.

I personally even can't understand why one wants to have this setting NOT set, so I don't understand why EnableArmOnSelection isn't the default in the first place.

What am I missing?

When playing live I certainly want to select a track while playing keyboard on another.
