I recently bought the pro version as I switched from another auto-recording app to the rooted auto-recording of BB.
Everything works great on OnePlus 5T, LineageOS 16.0 (=Android Pie), rooted.


The one big pain point is the recorded file naming.
I would like to propose the following naming format:

TIME-I/O-NUMBER

As I do not want the Contact name in the filename. I also dont want to have any spaces in the filename.

So Ideally it would be:
YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss_I/O_+1234567890___<Whatever the other 2 fields are>.mp3

Or possibly you could make it fully user customisable?

Currently there are 4 file name formats available.

It's a little hard to let users to customize the file name format completely. The reason is, the app needs to get information from file names to "rebuild display list" when users ask the app to do so. If the user changes the file name format, new recordings will use the new format but old recordings remain the old format, this confuses the app when it scans the files and tries to get information from the file names.

Anyway thanks for the suggestion. We'll consider it.

This could be solved, if you forced users to define the pattern before rebuilding the list (which is a geat feature btw.)...

it also seems to work, if you name the file: yyyy-mm-dd<space:(>hh.mm.ss__-1234567890_...mp3 - so the name doesnt seem to be required atm. when importing the list...
as in: make the name =null. (At least) I dont care about the 2  '_'.
As long as the NAME is not there, and nospaces are there, im happy :)
