Recording-settings dialog rework + menu mnemonic clean-up
Recording settings dialog
=========================
Promote what were row attributes inside the format-attributes table
into their own dedicated listboxes. Pre-rework each format's
attribute list contained a row per (quality knob × channel mode)
combination — doubling the row count for no real benefit. WAV had
6 rows, MP3 / OGG-Opus had 8, FLAC had 4. Channel mode is now its
own listbox; per-format attribute lists shrink to 3 (WAV), 4
(MP3 / OGG-Opus), 2 (FLAC).
FLAC compression level was previously a hidden RecordingSettings
field locked at the libFLAC default of 5. Now exposed as its own
conditional listbox with all 9 levels (0..8). Visible only when the
selected file format is FLAC; the column collapses to 0% width
otherwise so the dialog reads cleanly as 4 columns for non-FLAC
formats and 5 for FLAC.
Mnemonics:
* Source Alt+S (unchanged)
* File format Alt+F (unchanged)
* Attributes Alt+A (unchanged)
* Compression Alt+L (new, FLAC-only visible)
* Channels Alt+C (new)
* OK Alt+O (unchanged)
* Cancel Alt+N (was Alt+C — moved to free C for Channels)
Record menu mnemonics
=====================
Item mnemonics inside the Record menu reorganised so the keystroke
inside the menu matches the same letter used for Ctrl+R outside it,
and Settings reads naturally:
* Start recording / Stop recording Alt+R (was Alt+S)
* Recording settings Alt+S (was Alt+T)
* Open recordings folder Alt+O (unchanged)
* Change recordings folder Alt+C (unchanged)
UpdateStartStopRecordingMenuLabel keeps the underline on a literal
R in both states ("Sta&rt recording" → "Stop &recording") so the
keystroke does the same job regardless of which label is active.
No version bump — the running version stays at 1.3.0. These changes
will be bundled with the next public release alongside whatever else
is in flight.
