SOLVED: Can't save voice recordings

Yes, when I hit the play button to start recording, a file name is automatically generated. I can see it on the While Recording Screen. The problem is when I stop recording, that recording is not saved anywhere.
Chronon:
Strange. Is Rockbox saving it to a location other than where you think? Mine are saved properly.
Llorean:
Do you have enough free disk space?
wallmg:
Well, no matter wherever I designate my "Set As Recording Directory" through the context menu, it doesn't save there. I've tried my 2GB Micro SD card, which is empty, so there should be no problem with space there. And I've tried the Record / Voice directory on my main unit. There should be enough empty space there too. But when I check those directories, nothing is there.
UPDATE: I just checked something. I went to my card's directory location, went to the context menu and selected properties. Here's the readout:
Subdir: 0
Files: 12
Size 2975 KB
So this tells me they are there, they are just not visible to me. Any idea on how to fix this?
ANOTHER UPDATE: I went into Database, and did a Search for .mp3, and whatta you know ... they show up at the top of the list. I'm able to play them back and everything. However, this is very inconvenient, and I know there should be a way to go into the File menu and access them from there, they just are visible there. So, again, and ideas? Thanks.
LAST UPDATE: I went into the Context menu for Database, hit Update Now, and voila! They all show up. I have now turned on Auto Update, so hopefully I won't have this problem again.
Thanks for all your help on this problem. I'm very happy now, and extremely happy with Rockbox! Love it.
Llorean:
Have you considered simply having your computer find all *.mp3 files on the device, then scrolling down the list until you find your recordings and using that to figure out where it's putting them?
Though at this point you should be able to just play one you do know where is, than check it's location in its properties.
