[gnome-sound-recorder] Use names based on date instead of word "Untitled"

[Oleksij Rempel]

I found for my self really useful to have files named by date by default
instead of have it "Untitled".

For example:
was - Untitled.ogg
now - 2009-09-21-190728.ogg

here is upstream link.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595867

i submited the patches upstream, currently with no response.

That's a smart idea, fishor, nice work!

Have you compared the format your patch uses with the format Cheese uses? If they're different, which is better?

[Oleksij Rempel (olerem)]

I copied this part from cheese, so it is the same format.
It will be better to minimize users interaction with fs, like cheese or tomboy do,
but i do not fink i can do it.

[Oleksij Rempel (olerem)]

I use this program to record lectures in my university. So i have my format to safe files:
lecture_name-date-some_tags.ogg
If i use fs to manage it - files are gruped by lecture name and sorted by date and there is some info too.

It will be great if i can use my calender to have lecture names and info i need written in the ogg container.

The patch attached to this bug report (and all subsequent patches) have been rejected due to the code not following GNOMEs coding style. If anyone wants to take a look and resubmit the patch, there is a lot of feedback on the upstream bug page you could have a look at. Thanks!

fishor is working on the patch with upstream ,setting bug as in-progress

[Oleksij Rempel (olerem)]

The patch is ready ready but upstream is not responding. I'd like to have this functionality in maverik :(

For now i created ppa. for testing https://launchpad.net/~bug-track/+archive/ppa
