81.10.221.189: /* Bugs */

===Overview===
[http://maemo.org/packages/view/recaller/ Recaller] is a widget(for the Maemo desktop) which allows your [[Nokia N900|N900]] to record all kind of audio ("Rec-All" :-)
Starting with version 2.0 (currently in extras-devel), it has the following features:
* Auto-recording of GSM calls
* Useable as dictaphone
* Record device audio (e.g. FM or internet radio, game sounds)
* Configurable Save Folder
* Autonaming of files (including call partner number)

PLEASE donate if recaller is useful to you. Donations give me motivation, encouragement and happiness (plus pocket money :-)

===Help===
If there is no big red button on the desktop after installing the widget, simply reboot your phone.

Please use the settings mode of the Desktop to configure recaller to your needs. You can change the following settings:
* Save folder location (where recaller puts its recordings)
* Audio source when manually recording (with Autorec enabled, recaller will automatically switch to Phone or Bluetooth recording mode)
* File Format (AAC is available on all phones, is compact and clear, playback on most computers possible, but uses high CPU. Other available formats [FLAC, WAV] might not work for everybody or use too much storage).
* Autorec automatically starts the recording of GSM calls (in- and outgoing)
* Show reminders puts up a banner every 30 seconds to remind you of an ongoing recording). Icon on desktop also changes to green when a recording is ongoing.

===Screenshot===
Not much to see, just a big red "REC" icon on the desktop.

* Thanks to various pymaemo and gstreamer gurus :-)

===ChangeLog===
The [http://maemo.org/packages/view/recaller/ current changelog] is available through the package viewer.
* 2.0.0: Vastly reworked, only in Extras-Devel right now
* 0.4.0: Simple version, no config options, available in Extras

===Roadmap===
* Other codecs
* Improved auto-record timings
* Auto-record for other voice protocolls

===Wishlist===
Use this space to add possible feature wishes:
* Different widget icon according to mode chosen. I keep one icon for recording calls, one for dictaphone. E.g. you could use the current icon, but overlaying "c", "d" or "s" for widget configured for calls, dictaphone or system.
* WISH (YOUR NAME)
* Address book name for the recorded phone calls files.
* Incoming/Outcoming icon for the recorded phone calls files.

===Bugs===
Use this paragraph to report possible bugs. If you encounter a problem with the widget, please remove/delete it from the Home screen, then open X-Term and launch the widget manually by typing:
python2.5 /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/recaller.py
You can now see some output from the widget. Now switch to the Home screen and work with the widget - you can then control the output in X-Term and report any errors ecountered.

* <del>Config dialog doesn't pop up yet (NORMAN))</del> Solved in 2.0.0-2
* In 2.0.0-2 I am able to record as a dictaphone just one time. The next time the icon stays red and recording is not possible. (fmonera at gmail)
* Package doesn't list/install dependencies. I installed the -devel version and got "ImportError: No module named gconf" (viraptor at gmail)

* It makes two files of one and the same phone conversation.
