## Handle different microphone and system\-audio rates

- ID: echo\-cancellation\-across\-different\-audio\-rates
- Type: fixed
- Area: desktop
- Availability: unverified

Fixed some recordings missing their cleaned microphone track when the microphone and system audio used different sample rates\.

If that preparation failed, the recording could remain without a cleaned microphone track\.

## Make new recordings local\-only

- ID: a\-local\-only\-recording\-option
- Type: added
- Area: desktop
- Availability: unverified

Added a Local only setting that marks new desktop recordings as ineligible for upload\.

A recording made with this setting on stayed non\-uploadable even if the setting changed later\. Local retention rules could still delete it\.

## Find a local recording more easily

- ID: find\-local\-recordings\-more\-easily
- Type: added
- Area: desktop
- Availability: unverified

Added search, sorting and uploaded\-or\-local filters to the recent\-recordings list\.

## Choose a local retention policy

- ID: control\-local\-recording\-retention
- Type: added
- Area: desktop
- Availability: unverified

Added choices to keep local recordings, delete local copies after upload, keep a selected count or remove recordings older than a selected age\.

Age and count rules could remove local\-only recordings too\. Delete after upload applied to uploaded recordings, while ordinary recordings queued for upload were protected from pruning\.
