I do run at pretty much 100% usage, but sometimes there's something I forgot to "non-auto-expire" that I have been meaning to get to. Perhaps one of the best things for a popup would be "Disk almost full, the following recordings are in jeopardy of being deleted...".
<br>I know you can look in the status and find what is up for deletion, but I never do.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 15, 2008 6:43 PM, Jake <<a href="mailto:jakeisawake@gmail.com">jakeisawake@gmail.com</a>
