Hi, as i'm absolutely new to the mailinglist business maybe i made something wrong.

Well, you might want to consider posting in plain text, not HTML ;-)

I somehow knew using Outlook Express was a bad idea. I try to use _Nur Text_ this time. Or maybe I'll give a real mailing client a try next time.

...

Skins.QueueMessage(mtWarning, tr("Low disk space!"), 30); produces a message thats 30 seconds long, while AssumeFreeDiskSpace(-1),

And of course it's not AssumeFreeDiskSpace(-1) but AssertFreeDiskSpace(-1)

...

that's called about every 10 seconds fills up The Messagequeue, which is obviously not a good idea. As i'm far from being a coder, i'm sorry, i have to leave it to others finding a working solution.

If you use

Skins.QueueMessage(mtWarning, tr("Low disk space!"), 5, -1);

the message will be displayed shorter, and the '-1' will prevent the message queue from filling up.

Could you give this a try?

Sure! Works like a dream :) No crashes anymore while cutting.

Changing Factor from 10 to 2 in AssertFreeDiskSpace in recording.c

int Factor = (Priority == -1) ? 10 : 1;

also worked for me, while keeping almost the same behaviour as before when calling QueueMessage with a display time of 30 seconds (Displaying the "Low disk space!" message for 30 seconds and again 20 seconds later). But i don't know if there are any side effects. I read a mailinglist thread from about 2 years ago where you discussed the value of the Factor variable when AssertFreeDiskSpace is called with Priority=-1. So i think it's a better idea to leave the Factor value untouched and therefore consider your suggestion to be the better solution to this issue. :)
