A tab for how recordings are named.Settings → Options holds the
recording folder and the whole naming scheme in one place, with a live
preview of the next file name and its full path at the very top. It updates
on every change and never consumes a counter number while you try things out.
Subfolders per day, calendar week, month or year — or none at all.
Recordings are filed by their own date, not by the day they were moved.
A file name assembled from parts. Custom text front and back, year,
month, calendar week, date, time of day, recording type and a running
counter. Each part can be switched on and off and dragged into any order by
its grip on the left, with arrow buttons for those who would rather not
drag. Every row shows what it currently contributes, even while switched
off. Parts that come out empty are simply left out.
The preview shows the name in coloured badges, one per part, so it is
obvious which switch produced which piece of the name. It sits in a card of
its own above everything else: the folder small and dim on top, the file
name large below it.
Each part carries its own settings.Time with seconds sits under the
time row, the number of digits and the reset interval under the counter row,
and the two custom text fields are the rows themselves. The settings appear
with their part and disappear with it — choosing seconds while the time is
not in the name at all was a question without an effect.
Fixed: the two buttons that move a part up and down showed a stub of a
dash instead of their arrows. They carried ▲ and ▼ all along, but the
side padding every button inherits left two pixels for the glyph and Qt cut
it away. They now use their own narrow style.
Longer explanations live behind a small ⓘ as tooltips instead of standing as
grey paragraphs under every field, and the page is laid out in two columns:
what makes up the name on the left, what happens to files that already exist
on the right. Both together take the scrolling out of the tab.
Time of day with or without seconds (14-30-15 or 14-30).
A running counter with a chosen number of digits and a reset interval:
never, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. A button sets it back to 1 by hand.
The calendar week uses the ISO year, so the 1st of January still lands in the
last week of the year before instead of opening a second folder for the same
week. KW stays fixed regardless of interface language, for the same reason
the type short forms do: a language switch must not rename existing files.
Changed
A Changelog button under Settings → Info. It opens the version history
in a window of its own, rendered as formatted text rather than raw Markdown.
The text is fetched from the project page on GitHub, because the copy that
ships with an installation ends at the version you already have — and what
changed since your version is the thing you came to read. Without a
connection, or when the fetch fails, the shipped copy is shown instead and
the window says which of the two you are looking at.
The only network connection this program makes. It happens when you
press that button and never in the background; there is still no update
check and nothing is sent but the request itself. The fetch runs in a thread
of its own, so the window opens immediately instead of standing still until
a timeout runs out. The README statement about network use was corrected
accordingly.
The introduction knows about the new tab. Its settings page lists Options first and says what it holds, and the sessions page points at Settings → Options for the file names now that Choose folder only picks a
folder.
Settings tabs reordered to Options, Analysis, Target profiles, Design, Info — roughly how often one changes something there. The dialog
still opens on Info, which is what you want in front of you when you open
the settings without a particular parameter in mind.
Choose folder no longer opens a dialog first. It opens the folder dialog
of the system and nothing else. Asking about the naming scheme when someone
is looking for a folder was one question too many; the scheme moved to the
Options tab.
Existing recordings are moved to the assembled scheme, not just to month
folders and the type. Whether a name was given by the program or by hand is
now decided by taking the name apart into its parts, so hand-given names stay
untouched under any scheme. During a move the counter is handed out per
period in recording order, not from the stored value — a move brings along
months that are long over.
Empty subfolders left behind by a scheme change are cleaned up, not only
month folders.
Settings now roll back the recording folder and the naming scheme on Cancel, along with everything else. A move is excluded: moved files are not
coming back, so the move button applies its selection right away.
Migration
A configuration from 1.1.1 keeps its behaviour: month_folders becomes one
folder per month, type_in_name switches on the type part. Nothing is
rewritten until the Options tab is used.
