timestamps
Multiplex:
I exhibited my ignorance a while ago by suggesting that the internal value "runtime" could be used to generate incrementing recording numbers. (that's no good as it is the battery runtime, it gets re-set by charging).
But while digging through that idea I'm pretty sure that I discovered that on a platform with no RTC Rockbox uses the timestamp of the build when files are created - this correlates with rickeyjt's observation.
Llorean:
Allowing non-RTC users to set the current Date in the Recording Menu or Screen would probably be a good idea. I'm not sure the time is necessary (takes longer to set it, and besides the files are numbered sequentially so you'll know "This was the 5th recording I did on X day" anyway, but there's no real reason to leave it out either). Someone here might want to either put up a feature request, or suggest it in the "Recording Enhancements Pack" thread.

Mine didn't reset upon charging. It shows over 29 hours elapsed. Perhaps it's because I always charge with the power off?
Llorean:
Yup, it can only reset on charging if it actually knows that it's been charging. That requires the power be on. ;)

Can it be manually reset?
