It would be even better to add a "confirm shutdown" prompt in the case that no recording is active, but a recorded stream is being played back when hitting the Power key.
It can be confusing that the Power key stops recorded playback but not live playback. I'd rather display the "press any key to cancel shutdown" prompt and keep playing back the recorded stream. Alas, I do not know how to achieve that; maybe it would require some more inter-thread communication.
Now you're confusing me. Isn't that the current behavior?
Well, the current behavior (completely ignoring the Power key during recorded playback) is confusing, but admittedly so can be the new one as well. It would be more consistent to ask for confirmation up-front in any case (no matter if live or recorded playback) and replace the confirmation message with a warning if a timed recording or a cutting is in progress.
In version 1.3.25 there was a change
No longer stopping Transfer Mode or replay immediately when the Power button is pressed (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
Your suggested change would countermand that, wouldn't it?
Since I don't use the power off feature myself, and this is apparently a rather complex thing, I'd like to hear some other users' opinion about this before I change anything.
That makes sense.
