Ships the dialog reorganisation and mnemonic adjustments from
commit 45b709d. No wire-format or audio-pipeline changes — v1.3 and
v1.4 peers interoperate.
About dialog gets a v1.4 release-notes block; csproj Version
property bumped 1.3.0 → 1.4.0; RELEASE_NOTES.md rewritten with the
v1.4 highlights and a one-paragraph upgrading-from-v1.3 note (clean
auto-update via Help → Check for updates is now expected to work on
Dropbox-installed copies since v1.3's helper hardening took effect).

# RemSound v1.4
|
|
|
|
Recording-settings dialog cleanup and a few mnemonic adjustments. No wire-format or audio-pipeline changes — v1.4 and v1.3 peers interoperate.
|
|
|
|
## Highlights
|
|
|
|
### Recording settings dialog reorganised
|
|
|
|
- **Channel mode** is now its own dedicated listbox (**Alt+C**) instead of being folded into every attribute row. The per-format attribute lists shrink correspondingly:
|
|
- **WAV** — 6 rows → **3** (16-bit PCM / 24-bit PCM / 32-bit float)
|
|
- **MP3** — 8 rows → **4** (128 / 192 / 256 / 320 kbps CBR)
|
|
- **OGG-Opus** — 8 rows → **4** (96 / 128 / 192 / 256 kbps VBR)
|
|
- **FLAC** — 4 rows → **2** (16-bit / 24-bit)
|
|
- **FLAC compression level** (0..8) now selectable in its own listbox (**Alt+L**). Previously hard-fixed at the libFLAC default of 5. The list is only shown when the file format is FLAC, with friendly tags on the endpoints (`0 — fastest encode, biggest file`, `5 — default (libFLAC reference)`, `8 — slowest encode, smallest file`). All levels produce bit-identical lossless audio — it's a pure encode-time vs file-size trade-off.
|
|
|
|
### Record menu mnemonics
|
|
|
|
- **Start / Stop recording** is now `Alt+O, R` (was `Alt+O, S`). Matches the `Ctrl+R` global toggle so the same letter does the same job from either entry point. The underline stays on a literal *R* as the label flips between "Sta**r**t recording" and "Stop **r**ecording".
|
|
- **Recording settings** is now `Alt+O, S` (was `Alt+O, T`). Reads more naturally now that the *R* slot is freed.
|
|
- **Open folder** (`Alt+O, O`) and **Change folder** (`Alt+O, C`) unchanged.
|
|
|
|
### Dialog mnemonic adjustment
|
|
|
|
- The **Cancel** button in the Recording settings dialog now uses **Alt+N** (`Ca&ncel`) rather than the conventional Alt+C, so the **Channels** listbox can take Alt+C as its natural letter. Esc still dismisses the dialog the way it always has.

## Install
|
|
|
|
1. Download `RemSound-v1.4.zip` from this release.
|
|
2. Extract somewhere with write permission (e.g. `C:\RemSound\`, `Documents\RemSound\`, etc.). Avoid `Program Files` unless you grant write permission so the self-updater can replace files in place.
|
|
3. Run `RemSound.exe`. Allow on private networks when Windows Firewall prompts.
|
|
4. Press F1 (or use the Help menu) for the user manual.
|
|
|
|
Requires the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime. If it's missing, Windows offers to fetch it on first launch.

## Upgrading from v1.3 inside a Dropbox folder
|
|
|
|
Should work cleanly via Help → Check for updates. v1.3 introduced the hardened helper (60-second retry window, exit-code check, no silent rollback) so the Dropbox-lock window is no longer a problem. If you're on v1.0/v1.1/v1.2 in a Dropbox folder, see the v1.3 release notes for the one-time manual install steps — once on v1.3 or later, future auto-updates are reliable.
