Broken REC button, how to start new recording?
petur:
I'm working on a simple fix, it is in Flyspray (FS#10621).
Basicaly, it will swap REC and PLAY functions, meaning REC will start/pause recording, while PLAY splits into a new file.
targets changed to this scheme are h1x0, h3x0, x5 and m3
If nobody has a problem with this I can commit this soon.
Llorean:
What's the point of committing this to fix one person's button problem? Is something else gained from this other than "confusing all the users who've gotten used to the current controls"?
perfectdrug:
I'm not much a recording user but this one took me a while to figure out that Rec doesn't start recording but play does, so I think this change would be logical.
Llorean:
It took you a while? Why didn't you read the manual?
Meanwhile, people used to using it may be in trouble since there's no reason for them to expect it to change on them... They could attempt to record something important and be stumped (whereas anyone recording for the first time who hasn't taken the time to actually look at *how* to do it in advance is simply not prepared).
perfectdrug:
Of course you are right, I just said it isn't intuitive. But as I said I'm not using the recording feature very much, and you may also be right that changing this might not be the best idea for something that is that way for several years now (as I presume it is).
Maybe a poll would be nice, or just leave it as is.
