Bacon recorder version 2.5
I finally have a version of Bacon recorder that I'm
satisfied with after spending the last couple of weeks
testing.
New features:
1) new folder selector should aid inexperienced users
2) Now supports /mnt/home/ as a destination folder,
however in some situation this only links you to the top of
file structure /. In other situations it will
link you to the partition where you have puppy installed.
It is easy to tell which is which by simply opening
/mnt/home/ and looking.
3) Both Retrovol and the VU meter can can left on the desktop safely.
4) There is now a warning message if you click 'Play' button
while a recording file is being created
5) Help button to suggest some possible destination paths.
6) The destination folder path must always end with a slash /
7) The destination folder path can have an empty
character space
8 ) The user can change the name of the recording by
clicking on the default button, then setting the name.

Some notes and pics:
Here's a picture to help understand the new features
To better understand how Puppy Linux mounts a partition
and then names a partition, go to the console and type 'df'.
This will let you see if a label name is being used for
the partition. Note that labels are rarely used in Puppy Linux.
Certain Puppies can be difficult, such as Fluppy 012.
There is one rare situation in Fluppy 012 where finding a suitable folder
path can be difficult. Namely, booting with boot line
'puppy pfix=ram'.
Note that I find this rare and only occurs with a few oddball Puppy variants.
It still is possible to record on the partition where puppy is installed
by opening through /mnt/home/ as the picture below shows.
The folder selector icon can be useful in understanding this path.
Fortunately this is rare. Lucid puppy and Racy puppy don't have
this problem.
