RecNForget Changelog

What's new in RecNForget 0.6.5

Oct 26, 2021
  • upgraded application to .net 5.0
  • setup is now provided self contained, so .net runtime does not have to be installed
  • reworked most windows for a more consistent layout
  • layout is STILL not final, but I don't expect any HUGE future changes except for Font/Sizes/Paddings/Margins :D - BUT
  • RecNForget now has a dark mode, which is the new default
  • window colors can now be changed using context menu -> Change theme -> (Select theme)
  • selected file control now also shows file size and play length
  • selected file can now be exported as mp3, this action can be reached by
  • pressing the 'X'-Button, while having the RecNForget-Window open or
  • clicking the export button right next to the file name in the selected file control
  • bitrate can be set using context menu -> open settings -> output -> Bitrate
  • a dialog, prompting for an export name can be enabled using context menu -> open settings -> output -> 'prompt for exported file name'
  • (otherwise filename is taken from original wav-file with mp3-extension)
  • new recording timer control:
  • users can now delay recording start/ stop with the new recording timer control
  • this control can be toggled using context menu-> show recording timer control
  • time spans used are entered right to left (seconds first) in the following format: d:hh:mm:ss
  • if the "Stops after"- timer is enabled, a recording session will be automatically ended after that time span
  • "stop recording" can still be forced by hitting record again (if "Stops after"- timer is already running)
  • "Stops after" can also be enabled while already recording
  • if the "Starts after"- timer is enabled, the "start recording" action will be delayed by that time span
  • "start recording" can be forced by triggering record again (if "Starts after"- timer is already running)
  • switched to svg for icons
  • popup info windows have been replaced with non blocking toast messages(errors and warnings)
  • toast messages now use Notifications.Wpf.Core, which makes them consistently silent (not adding random windows sounds to recorded samples)

New in RecNForget 0.4 (Apr 14, 2020)

  • Migrated to .NET Framework 4.8
  • FIX: upgrading deletes existing user data
  • FIX: uninstalling RecNForget will now also delete all user data (under %APPDATA% machine configuration and in registry for autostart)
  • FIX: clicking the open folder button does not crash RecNForget anymore, if that folder does not (yet) exist
  • FIX: changing the file prefix changes the displayed file name with output path
  • Reworked controls of the main window to use a simple white and black "theme"
  • Window options and settings can be opened via context menu on the main window
  • Moved always on top option to context menu
  • File name pattern textbox no longer in main window (it is instead configured by the pencil button next to "recording path" or via settings menu)
  • Selected File Control is now hidden by default (can be changed in the context menu)
  • Output Path Control is now hidden by default (can be changed in the context menu)
  • Default hotkey for "toggle record" is now [Pause]
  • Added skip buttons to navigate through output folder (auto selects the latest file on program start)
  • Added a stop-replay button (this also closes the file in RecNForget enabling you to move or rename it...)
  • Can select the selected file in the explorer using [Down-Arrow]-key in the main window
  • Can play/pause selected file using [Space]-key in the main window
  • Can skip to previous/next file using [Left-Arrow]/[Right-Arrow]-key in the main window

  • Auto selecting the last recording is now optional (enabled by default)
  • Added a help link to the menu (opens help window)
  • Can stop playing slected file using [Esc]-key in the main window
  • Clicking the open folder button now selects the last result file in explorer (or just opens folder if there is no result yet)
  • Taskbar Icon background turns green when replaying the last audio (stays green also when paused to remind you that the file is still open)
  • Tray icon menu now shows the same menu as the windows options menu at the top left of the main window
  • When started for the first time, RecNForget will show the toggle record and output folder setting and allow to change them
  • Window position is now remembered after closing the application
  • RecNForget can now update itself via clicking the about-button (via top left window button) and then "check for updates"
  • RecNForget can now show random tips on program start (did you know?) (enabled by default)
  • Installation is cancelled if .Net framework is not found
  • Installer lets user choose target installation folder
  • Installer now shows a minimal UI with license agreement and logo during installation
  • Installer now starts with elevated privileges (so it can update the files installed in programs folder)

New in RecNForget 0.3 (Nov 18, 2019)

  • RecNForget now has a msi-Installer (generated through WiX) (for now just simple "silent" setup: installing to the default programs folder and creating a shortcut in start menu, running msi with higher version will upgrade, also allows repairing via programs/features (in case a file went "missing" for example), clicking "change" will just rerun the msi, not very useful for now
  • RecNForget now enforces that there is only one instance of it running (even though it could be "funny" to have multiple applications capturing your hotkeys and recording :D)
  • User configuration has been moved to user/appdata/roaming (is created on program start)
  • FIX error when trying to play the last file (but it was moved or deleted - missing replay file leads to button being disabled, missing audio feedback files are silently ignored for now)
  • FIX: application icon was not shown when executing from a directory different to the application directory
  • FIX: suppress not allowed characters for filenames in filename prefix pattern
  • Can enable instant auto-replay of audio after recording (disabled by default)

  • Show proper icon for exe in explorer
