Scribe v2.4.3 Recordings now continue when the controls modal is closed
Previously, clicking outside the "Open Controls" modal (or pressing ESC) silently cancelled an in-progress recording — nothing was saved. This release changes that behavior, as requested in #113.
What's new:
- Recording survives modal close — dismissing the controls modal no longer stops your recording. It keeps running in the background.
- Tappable recording notice — when you close the modal mid-recording, the familiar persistent notice (
🔴 Scribe: Recording 01:23 — Tap to save) appears with a live timer. Tap it anytime to stop and save. - Reopen and pick up where you left off — opening the controls modal again (via the ribbon or command palette) re-attaches to the live recording: the timer, pause/resume state, and your session options are all restored so you can pause, resume, or complete from there.
- Session options are remembered — options you set in the modal (only transcribe, languages, note template, etc.) now apply however you finish the recording: tapping the notice, the ribbon's "Stop Recording", or the Start/Stop command.
- "Open Controls" in the ribbon menu while recording — the ribbon menu now includes Open Controls alongside Pause/Cancel/Stop during an active recording.
Behavior notes:
- Cancelling a recording is now always an explicit action — the modal's Reset button or the ribbon's Cancel Recording. Nothing is discarded just by closing a window.
- Fixed: opening the modal during a recording started from the command palette previously left the background notice running alongside the modal. The notice now hides while the modal is open.
Thanks to the user who reported #113 🙏
