Mike Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-343:
---------------------------------------
I keep circling back to this in my mind and don't currently see a clean way to
do this without issues:
* Adding "enable-recording" would match established conventions but would break
existing connection behavior.
* Adding "disable-recording" would work, but would give the impression that
recording is enabled by default.
* Enhancing form behavior to allow sections of parameters to be shown/hidden
(and cleared) based on a checkbox would be intuitive and would not break
anything, but would not serve the need behind the original request (preserving
values but disabling recording).
I think there's really no way around it - the only parameter that makes sense
is "enable-recording", which means we need to need to either break
compatibility (and save the change for a future release that is reasonably
expected to break compatibility, like a 2.0.0 containing GUACAMOLE-1085 or some
other major breaking change) or make the parameter purely cosmetic (checking
the box merely shows the relevant fields, while unchecking the box clears those
fields out).

> The "Screen Recording" and "Typescript (Text Session Recording) option should
> receive a checkbox to enable/disable recording. Currently recording is
> enabled by configuring a recording or typescript path and name.
> Currently it is not possible to setup the recording path and name without
> automatically starting to record. An additional checkbox like
> [ ] Enable Recording
> would be nice. So you could then preconfigure the paths, filenames per
> connection, easily clone or preconfigure them. When recording is needed you
> just need to enable the checkbox.
