SoundRecorder records only few seconds by default

[nutela]

# how to reproduce Press record and don't press stop # experienced behavior After a few seconds (10?) SoundRecorder stops recording, time is not displayed # expected behavior SoundRecorder should record to buffer on hard disk drive until hdd is full, the elapsed time should be displayed

Default record time is 8 seconds: you can change it in the bottom part (hidden at first).

But isn't that a bit unintuitive?

Dunno, this is typical for recording applications to provide a max record time. I think the BeOS SoundRecorder behaves the same.

Replying to korli:

No it does not, there is no limit displayed in the GUI of R5's SoundRecorder. Why is there a limit? Does it record to RAM? What could be done is have it disabled with a check box to enable it because I think it is not a bad feature at all. I can set this bug to "enhancement" is that desirable?

I'd also vote for putting a checkmark in front the limit text box and to turn it off by default (unlimited recording time), especially since the limit text box is hidden in the default interface.

I removed the record time limit in r28505.

verified thanks! Still a limit setting is not a bad idea.
