custom recording dir setting

(1/3) > >>

JdGordon:
So, we are arguin in IRC about FS#7201 (user selectable record dir) and what should happen if the directory you want to record to doesnt exist and cant be created. (If it can be created it will).

Either it records to / -
pros:
will still record so no nasty suprise later

cons:
possibly have to go searchign for the file
recording to the ondios 128MB internal ram wouldnt last very long.

or, fail with an error message
pros:
umm...?
cons:
you recording may not happen

my view is it shhuold do the first, but I dont record very often. (and i guess if this goes 50:50 we could easil add the option so you can choose what to do)

ColdSphinx:
I think it should record to the rootdir so the record don't get lost if the "thing" to be recorded can't be repeated.

(Currently don't know how to explain better)

whatboutbob:
My instinct would be to have it fail gracefully.  ie option 1 + an error message (if possible) - 'Dir doesn't exist; saving to root dir'...

gnu:
Yes, I agree with option 1. If you don't like your recording, or your disc/ram gets full, you can always delete your file!

JdGordon:
can the person who voted option 2 explain why? although it does look like opt 1 will win
