You can save config files now and name them whatever you want from the recording menu. (write .cfg file)

Therefore you only need to set up the various settings (including paths) once.

Subsequently, from the recording menu you choose "browse .cfg file" and select the one you want.

I.E. Lecture 01, Lecture 02, Monthly Meeting, Weekly Meeting, Etc.

You can even have different inputs, different encodings, channel configs etc.

Cool right? (implicit and profound thanks to all the developers)

Thanks for the tip, it does sound like a pretty useful trick I'll have to give it a try, I was just so use to doing it my "old" way and I was shocked when I could no longer do it.  Thanks for the advice.

Please file a feature request for this (or a patch) in the tracker

Before a file a request for this, I would like to find out if anyone knows why it was removed to begin with, because it could be there was a reason and therefor it would uselessly bother the developers with unnecessary requests.
Please post if you know anything on the matter.

Also, am I the only who was bothered by this feature being missing, because it would be silly to post a feature request just for myself.
Please post if you would like this feature added back to rockbox.

Llorean:
Could you please read our full forum guidelines? They also ask that you not post more than one post in a row if nobody has responded, but instead edit your posts.

As to why the feature was removed, it really wasn't. It was just made more explicitly controllable. Now you can't accidentally record in your /music/ folder because you manually select your recording folder not just by browsing into it, but by actually choosing to set it in the context menu.

Davide-NYC:
I agree with Llorean. The current implementation is a superset (or a generalization) of the old method. The "old way" still exists. It's just more generalizable now.

IMO this is a big improvement to RockBox.  Especially if you start using .cfg files.

GodEater:
Apology accepted :-)
