GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 387400
remove new button and new menuitem from the GUI
Last modified: 2015-01-19 11:34:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: user can click new button or new menuitem to open another window , but seldom people will use this functions. And whatis more ,open new gsr window will open the audio device one time, so if open two gsr window, it will open the audio device twice, this could hang on some system, for example, some solaris system. So I suggest that to remove new button and new menuitem from the GUI, since few people use it. BTW: recorder on windows has only one window Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:

Can you make sure that with this patch, things like open (even when a song is already loaded) also don't open a new window? If we do it here, we should do it consistently.
So I've been thinking about this, and since you can open different windows for _playing_ files (they don't necessarily all record), I don't think this makes all that much sense. I would prefer if we'd leave it the way it is...
OK, so for now I'm going to say no to this, unless I see some good reason to say yes.
yes, I agree that the patch is not good enough, but I still think that we should keep a single window , not allow user to open multiple windows.
Created attachment 79713 [details] [review] patch updated version. when open url, still in the same window.
can someone review this patch?
I have to ask some people for comments. I don't know if this is a good thing or not. Regardless, it has to wait for the next release, it's already UI freeze.
File/New should close the currently opened file, and allow the user to save it. Otherwise it makes recording multiple samples very painful.
hi, I agree with bastien, comment #9. Care to make a new patch?
gnome-media has been obsolete since the release of GNOME 3, nearly 4 years ago. Furthermore, the gnome-sound-recorder program in gnome-media has been replaced by the stand-alone, rewritten, gnome-sound-recorder program which has a different interface. The new program should not be affected by the bugs you filed, however, please make sure to file new bugs against the gnome-sound-recorder product.
