if there is a fresh install. Here's the Spanish recording.

2) Spanish put in NLS pet package (thanks to vicmz)

version 4.3

new feature - two new icons added to update the
time and date


This is a nice feature to avoid having to relaunch baconrecorder
just to obtain the current time and date 8)

version 4.4

-changed the interface slightly

I noticed that if you run a gettext version of
baconrecorder on an old version of Puppy
like Fluppy the Xdialog messages are often blank.

The solution is to go to an older version of
baconrecorder (before 4.0)

Button "Pause" bouton Bacon Recorder 4.1

Button "Pause" bouton No hay ?
No "pause Button" ?
Bacon recorder records, but a pause button would be helpfull. Perhaps i Did not see it.
Precord installed waiting some news.
I translate english spoken how-to to french. Speaking is much faster than writing. But sometimes i need some time to understand the english text, that is the reason why a "pause" button would be helpful, entiende usted ?

I think that putting a pause button in the window would be difficult.
I use the arecord command which does support pause however
it has to be done in the terminal. :cry:
Options
-i, --interactive
Allow interactive operation via stdin. Currently only pause/resume via space or enter key is implemented.
What I do to pause is click the stop button. Then wait for something
interesting on the radio.

When my favorite show begins then I set the length of recording
and click "Begin recording"

Two files are created rather than one but
that make no difference.

Hey Don

You should be able to "pause" arecord using SIGSTOP and "unpause" it with SIGCONT signals.
Here's an example that works for me:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# sh won't recognize "literal" signals' names, but in bash it would be ok
SIGSTOP=19
SIGCONT=18
SIGTERM=15

f_pause () {
  kill -s ${SIGSTOP} ${A_PID}
}

f_unpause () {
  kill -s ${SIGCONT} ${A_PID}
}

f_stop () {
  kill -s ${SIGTERM} ${A_PID}
}

# start recording (alter it, if additional options are needed)
arecord /root/testrec.wav & A_PID=$!

sleep 3
f_pause
sleep 3
f_unpause
sleep 3
f_pause
sleep 3
f_unpause
sleep 3
f_stop
exit
Greetings!

I never knew about SIGSTOP :oops:
I'll use it if I can get it to work.

Hi Don,
this is an awesome app! thanks for it ! :D
I've just moved to 4.4 coming from 3.1 ...
...and got a so-called 4.3 which is 4.4 as reported in its script.
just edited line 78 of /usr/sbin/baconrecorder like:

Code: Select all

export VERSION=4.4
deleted folder /root/.baconrecorder and start again and its done.

In the NLS-4.2, the french translation is missing ...here got the spanish translation instead .. :?

record level control ?

Posted: Sun 15 Jun 2014, 05:30

Hi again Don,

Btw, do you happen to have a workaround to control the record volume level ?
I once record some music and the replay sound was somewhat distorded ...i then struggled (using arecord) to try to reduce the capture level (using retrovol) ... but did not found major improvments ;
how do you do it ?

I remember an earlier recording app where there were two record level analogic indicators ... but this would lead to a less-simple-audio-recorder ... :?

Thanks for any advice :) !

Charlie

to get a more persistent display of the Vu-meters MAX , i modified the arecords rxvt geometry and behaviour like this around line 852:

Code: Select all

<action>rxvt -geometry "64x2-0+172" -e arecord -V stereo /dev/null 2>/dev/null &</action>
then opened the retrovol dialog box:
set the PCM button to adjust the record volume

last edited:
- in the above code, "stereo" might also be "mono".
- i noticed that the code has to be as displayed in the below screenshot: i mean that "do not copy-and-comment" the existing line code for conservative purpose: this would add one more line to the script and somewhat mess up the script ( experienced ... :shock: ) ... so i did not have kept-and-commented the original line code.

One suggestion ...
when clicking on VUmeter image.gif ... opening retrovol together with arecord's console would be a «nice to have»

again edited ... :P
got retrovol displayed just adding this line code:

Code: Select all

<action>retrovol &</action>
under the above added line code (see below shot)

So far so good ... i currently just ignore if these addons would bring some BC-4.4s misworking ... :?

Have fun :D

I noticed the animated gif
doesn't work properly while using Precise Puppy :cry:

I'll try your line to see will solve that problem. I hope it does.

I could check which distro is being used in /etc/Distro_specs
and change the line appropriately if that is necessary.

As for your suggestion of popping up two windows at a time,
that's a No-No. :(

Hi Don,
thanks for your quick reply !
as also for the new right click options ... i can imagine how much time it needs to put together all these options (just have a look inside its pet by clicking extract pet ... :wink: )
Would you check my right click version as well?
I'm currently running wheezy-3.5.2.5 and 3.5.2.11 which come with- and where there already are a bunch on right-click options.
So i wouldn't want the new right-click options to interfere with them.
Although I've installed it and it looks to run OK . Uninstallation returns the original options, except that i've now redundant "Extract here" and "Extraire ici", "MD5sum check" and "Vérification MD5sum" options displayed :? - i don't know where they come from ... maybe from the french langpack already installed .. . it doesn't matter anyway.

It also has handy apps in it :D
Cheers, Charlie
