In a fit of uncharacteristic generosity, I sent Ward a few bucks a couple of months ago and ever since then I've been wondering if Ward ever wakes up wondering what I think ... what I want ... or just generally wants to know how he can ever repay me. (Then I sober up and wonder if my few bux is even noticed)
But then I start thinking of what could be improved and I come up with a long list. Then I try to think it through and I find that it's a lot easier to complain (for example) that the Time Groups and Time Conditions are sometimes hard to visualize and how nice it would be to have a tab delimited output so you can see the "tree" of what is used, where and when. Then I try to sketch out one and then it hits me. Complaining is easy - and most things are the way they are because it's HARD to make them better.
Then I think I came up with one. As near as I can tell ... in my version (FreePBX 2.11.0.43 Asterisk 11.21.1) the "volume control" on uploading recordings doesn't seem to do anything. But even if it worked, if I chose the wrong setting it's problematic. So here is my thought: How about an option in the recordings section where you choose a recording, select a volume (from -50% to +100% or something) and the submit button copies the recording, processes the change, replaces the recording and then reloads the config?
Then I could sit in my Barcalounger listening to the recordings and tweak them and then hear the results in real time. Great idea, huh?
In fact, Ward, get that done and there'll be ANOTHER $10 in it for ya!
