Hi Bud, well, when you're pressing the space bar to start or stop the recording, you're counting on having your focus be on the start/stop button, and the space bar is acting like a mouse click for you. If something happens to change your focus during the recording (maybe you bump the mouse, or maybe some software popups up a window and gives itself the focus), then you can't press the spacebar and have it stop the recording.
total recorder has a way to have global hotkeys defined for functions such as start, stop, and pause the recording. It would be much more reliable if you used one of these hotkeys from TR. I don't know what they are, or if they are enabled by default. there is a total recorder mailing list where you can ask if you can't figure it out from the documentation. as for starting up window eyes with the hotkey for it's shortcut, I have found it works much more reliably if I minimize all windows first, so I end up on the desktop, when I press the control-alt-w hotkey to start it. You can do this with the windows+m or windows+d shortcut keys. I press one of them first, then the control-alt-w. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Bud Schwab [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 5:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: two problems with WE and total recorder Hi Gang, as the subject line says, two problems. When trying to record a cassette onto the hard drive with Total Recorder I silence WE first and then just press spacebar to get the recording started. When it's finished I press spacebar again to stop recording, but here lately it doesn't seem to stop the recording process. Then the windoweyes problem is that often when I press control alt W windoweyes doesn't come back on so I don't know what's going on. I can't seem to do anything to get windoweyes going short of rebooting and of course I lose all that I had done. That's not very clear but I hope there are some total recorder users out there that may have some ideas. Thanks so much.
