[tde-users] Re: getting Logitech USB microphone to work with krec

Or maybe I hijacked this off-topic topic, to make it on-topic? :-} Okay, so I went back into krec, gave it another try. I thought I was already doing pretty much what you said above in those steps, but the end result is the same. I don't actually see a new file icon, for what it's worth, but that choice is available in the menu under File (or by Ctrl-N). When I do that, I see a change at the top (beneath toolbars) to "file with no name", and when I look in the menu under Play, I see a red button for Record (or just use Ctrl-R); also there is a red button for record on my toolbar. There is no button for Stop that I can see, and nothing appears in the menus. There is an X in the toolbar, but that seems to mean just Close. When I hit it, I am told that the document has been modified, and asked if I want to save or discard it. Also, at the extreme lower right corner, there is a kind of counter or meter which is active, suggesting that I am recording something, or that krec wants me to believe that I am recording something; there are numbers showing Position and Size, which appear to be in minutes, seconds, maybe milliseconds or frames. Also, at the extreme upper left, there is a thin bar which on my machine appears to be purplish, and which I imagine to be some kind of graphic progress bar. Again, nothing happens: the think purplish bar remains the same. When I try to save the file, or export it to wav format, I get empty files of a few kilobytes. I cannot show you some of this, because ksnapshot disappears when I do anything with an active window, but here is a screenshot of my krec, which tells me that it is currently recording. See attachment. Bill
