When I used to use Total Recorder a lot when I had XP, I routinely set it to record and then put the computer into sleep mode. I don't remember now which of the possible sleep modes I used, but either way, TotalRecorder brought the computer out of sleep to make the recording.

Hi Everyone! I'm always discovering new features and functions in the Total Recorder application and I do discover some bugs from time-to-time but the support team at High Criteria seem pretty helpful. One you need to be careful of is the problem in Total Recorder's error trapping when typing in a filename, for some reason Total Recorder won't tell you if the "/" character is in a filename. Now obviously, if you're typing in a filename manually then you're not likely to use the "/" character but if you're pasting say from a schedule on the web to the filename box into the scheduler of Total Recorder? Well, that can be a different matter as I've just found out. so what's the consequence of all this? you get an extra folder created off your directory where Total Recorder stores your files along with a possible meaningless filename which you have to try and sort out, in other words the wasting of a few minutes which you could quite easily devote to more productive pursuits. Next thing, be very careful! how you set your power management settings of your Windows PC, if the PC goes to "Standby" mode or the hard drive goes to sleep then I'm afraid that Total Recorder will go to sleep to, this problem is probably beyond the folks at High Criteria as its more a Windows thing I'm supposing. Audio Hijack Pro - the nearest thing to Total Recorder on the Mac - can tap into the operating system and wake or even start your computer just before the scheduled recording is to take place and I'm guessing of course that such nice and nifty things just aren't possible with Windows due to the design of the PC itself. ****************************** Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"[email protected] Twitter: http://twitter.com/grtdane blog: http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com Phone United Kingdom 02032874641 Phone Australia 0390058589 Phone United States 8159261869 Fax: +61 3 9743 7954x MSN [email protected] skype:grtdane12 ****************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected] __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4511 (20091015) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected]
