Re: [Audacity-devel] "Stopping" (instead of "Canceling") audio importing

[Vaughan J. <va...@au...>]

Seems a good idea to me. For Timer Record, it'd be nice to just change 
the i/f to specify the button label. As is, Cancel stops the timer 
recording, but doesn't throw out the recorded track (which I think is 
the desirable behavior), but with Stop and Cancel buttons, it could do 
either.
