Shutting pc down loses recording #58

Closed AndyZBell closed 4 years ago

AndyZBell commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug If the windows 10 pc is shut down during recording the recording is lost

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start recording
  2. Shut down the pc
  3. No recording is saved

Expected behavior The app should refuse tj shut down and put up a modal dialogue asking if I want to save. Windows will then report that it can’t shut down and that gives me a chance to abort and save the work. Even better would be to stop the recording and save the recording...

I’ve tried looking for the temporary recording file but this isn’t much use as we often don’t realise that a recording was lost until someone wants it - often weeks later.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

@AndyZBell have you tried to check the option "Allow close when recording"? It should save the recording.

AndyZBell commented 4 years ago

Yes. And it saves it when the app is closed, but not when windows is shut down...

I’ll check it again tomorrow...

In my case I've scheduled a task (in Task Scheduler) to start OnlyR when the meeting starts (@ 19:00) and another task to close OnlyR 5 minutes after the meeting finishes (20:50 in my case). For closing you can use use "taskkill /IM OnlyR.exe" command (you need to have "Allow close when recording" option enabled in OnlyR). Also you can configure OnlyR to starts minimized.

Thanks for the info. Someone had turned off the Allow app to close during recording. So that caused the problem.

I now have set up task schedules to automate it.

Many thanks.
