feat(settings): configurable storage locations for recordings, exports, temp, caption models and cache - #1213
Adds one settings surface for every folder Recordly writes into, instead of only the recordings folder.

The panel is wired into both the Home dashboard settings and the editor settings dialog, and every string is translated for all 11 shipped locales (en, es, fr, de, it, nl, ko, ja, pt-BR, zh-CN, zh-TW).
Motivation
English: Recordly already lets you move recordings, but everything else stays on the system drive. Anyone running a small C: drive has to relocate exports by hand, and a long export silently fills it with scratch files. The same applies to caption models — ggml-small.bin alone is ~488 MB — and to regenerable thumbnail caches.
No open issue is linked. The feature was requested directly: "录屏软件不能更改录制视频位置，所有可保存的项目/产出都要能改保存位置" (report: Recordly cannot change where recordings and outputs are saved).
Screenshots / Video
Not included: building the renderer needs the full dependency tree, which did not install reliably from this network. The panel reuses the existing SettingsRow + Button building blocks and the same layout as the Storage block it replaces, so it renders like the surrounding settings rows.
Open Settings → Storage locations (dashboard) or ⌘/Ctrl+, → Storage locations (editor).
Confirm six rows render with the resolved path and a "currently the default location" hint when unset.
Click Change… on Exported videos, pick a folder, then export an MP4 and confirm the save dialog opens there.
Click Change… on Temporary files, start an export, and confirm scratch files appear in the new folder.
Point Temporary files at an unwritable path (e.g. a file's child path); expect an inline error and the previous folder to remain.
Reset a single row, then Restore all default locations, and confirm both return to the OS defaults.
Restart the app and confirm every choice persisted.
npm test covers electron/storageLocations.test.ts (defaults, persistence, unwritable folder, per-key reset, full reset, allowlist).
中文
npm ci && npm run dev
打开 设置 → 存储位置（首页）或 ⌘/Ctrl+, → 存储位置（编辑器）。
确认 6 行都显示实际路径；未自定义时带「当前为默认位置」提示。
把「导出视频」改到新目录，导出 MP4，确认保存框默认打开该目录。
把「临时文件」改到新目录，开始导出，确认中间文件落在新目录。
把「临时文件」指向不可写路径，应显示行内错误并保留原值。
单行 重置，再 全部恢复默认位置，两者都回到系统默认。
重启应用，确认全部设置持久化。

Implementation notes
electron/storageLocations.ts owns the four new keys (exports, temp, captionModels, cache). It validates with mkdir + access(W_OK), writes atomically via temp file + rename, and reports failures per key.
electron/ipc/register/storageLocations.ts merges those with recordings/projects into one list. projects stays derived from the recordings folder because the library resolves <recordingsDir>/Projects, so picking a projects folder adopts its parent.
src/types/storageFolders.ts is the single shared type source for main and renderer.
project/manager.ts adds the configured folders to the local-read allowlist so reopened media stays readable.
The legacy two-folder Storage block in DashboardSettings.tsx is replaced by the shared panel, so there is one implementation rather than two.
Known limitations / 已知限制
English: I could not run npm run typecheck, npm run lint or npm run i18n:check end-to-end: fetching the full source tree and dependency install kept resetting on this connection. What I did verify: every changed file parses with esbuild against the project's ts2020/JSX settings; electron/storageLocations.ts, electron/ipc/register/storageLocations.ts, electron/ipc/captions/whisper.ts and electron/ipc/captions/parakeetModel.ts compile clean under tsc --strict --noUnusedLocals --noUnusedParameters; no file has unused imports; and all 11 shipped locales contain every new key. Please run the full checks in CI before merging.
Recordly only let users move the recordings folder. Exports always landed in the
OS Downloads folder, scratch files in the system temp folder, and caption models
plus thumbnail caches in the app data folder. That forces anyone with a small
system drive to move files by hand, and long exports silently fill the OS drive.
This adds one settings surface for every folder Recordly writes into:
- recordings and projects (existing behaviour, now in the same list)
- exports: default folder for the export save dialog
- temp: scratch space for recording and export sessions
- caption models: Whisper and Parakeet downloads
- cache: wallpaper and project thumbnails
The renderer never assumes a path. The main process creates and write-checks a
chosen folder, persists the choice atomically, then returns the resolved folder
list so the UI can only display values the app accepted. A folder that cannot be
created is reported for that key alone instead of discarding the other edits.
Configured folders are also added to the local-read allowlist, so a recording or
export opened from a custom location stays readable after a restart.
Tests cover the fallback defaults, persistence across a reload, an unwritable
folder keeping its previous value, per-key and full reset, and the allowlist.
The change adds configurable storage locations for recordings, projects, exports, temporary files, caption models, and cache. It adds Electron APIs and settings controls to manage these locations, updates storage consumers to use configured paths, and adds translations in eleven locales.
Changes: Storage locations
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Storage settings and shared data electron/storageLocations.ts, src/types/storageFolders.ts, electron/storageLocations.test.ts
The storage module loads, validates, updates, and resets configured paths for exports, temporary files, caption models, and cache. Shared types describe the six folder IDs and operation responses. Tests cover defaults, persistence, invalid directories, and resets.
Caption, export, recording, project, and asset code uses configured temporary, caption-model, export, or cache paths in place of previous fixed locations.
The settings screens add a storage category and controls for viewing, changing, opening, and resetting locations. Locale files add labels, descriptions, and status messages.

Merge Risk: High · up to e5e54
The storage-locations feature has several confirmed defects. The typings and test setup are likely to fail type checks and tests. Exports can fail if the temp folder goes missing. Caption models and projects folders may not follow the chosen location. Resolve these before merging.

- Around line 7-11: Remove the duplicate storage-type import block from the
electron environment declarations, keeping the existing shared type definitions
as the sole bindings for StorageFolderId, StorageFolderMutationResponse, and
StorageFoldersResponse.
- Around line 2-6: Preserve the global scope of the declarations in
electron-env.d.ts by removing the top-level imports and using inline import type
references for StorageFolderId, StorageFolderMutationResponse, and
StorageFoldersResponse where needed. Alternatively, wrap the ambient
declarations, including Window and NodeJS, in declare global so
Window.electronAPI remains globally available.
Review comments at @electron/ipc/captions/parakeetModel.ts:
- Line 9: Update the parakeetModel test setup so it loads the module only after
beforeEach sets state.userData: reset the module cache, dynamically import
parakeetModel, and use the imported functions in the tests. This ensures
getCaptionModelsDir and modelDirectory resolve paths under the fixture root.
Review comments at @electron/ipc/export/exportStream.ts:
- Line 5: Mock the storageLocations module in the export-stream test so
importing exportStream does not load appPaths or call app.getPath("userData").
Have the mock provide getTempStorageDir with the temporary directory expected by
the test, while leaving the existing electron mock unchanged.
Review comments at @electron/ipc/project/manager.ts:
- Line 78: Update the allowed-prefix construction used by isAllowedLocalReadPath
to include canonicalized forms of configured storage roots while retaining their
lexical paths. This lets paths under symlinked storage folders match either root
form; if a root cannot be canonicalized, keep its lexical form.
Review comments at @electron/ipc/register/assets.ts:
- Line 33: Resolve the wallpaper thumbnail cache directory at request time
rather than when the handler is registered. Remove the captured `thumbCacheDir`
in the registration scope and call `getCacheDir("wallpaper-thumbs")` within the
thumbnail request flow before cache reads and writes, matching the
project-thumbnail behavior.
Review comments at @electron/ipc/register/export.ts:
- Line 249: Update isTempPathSafe and the ownership flow used by
finalize-exported-video and discard-exported-temp so validation uses the temp
root associated with the export when it was created, rather than the current
getTempStorageDir() value. Preserve the containment check and use the ownership
registry to identify the registered export path and its creation-time root, or
omit the root check only for paths already registered as owned.
Review comments at @electron/ipc/register/storageLocations.ts:
- Around line 55-56: Update the storage-location listing flow around
getRecordingsDir and getProjectsDir so one unavailable directory does not
prevent the other locations from being resolved. Handle and report failures per
location, preserving access to the choose handler and reset controls when a
location cannot be accessed.
- Line 100: Update the storage-location handler around
persistRecordingsDirectorySetting so it does not silently discard the selected
folder name; align the selection contract with getProjectsDir by requiring a
Projects folder or making the user select its parent, and validate the directory
that will actually receive projects before reporting success.
Review comments at @electron/storageLocations.ts:
- Around line 223-224: Update getTempStorageDir() to ensure the configured temp
directory exists before returning its path, creating missing parent directories
recursively using the project’s existing filesystem utilities. Preserve the
configured path as the return value.
- Around line 233-234: Update Whisper’s directory(id) to build model paths from
getCaptionModelsDir() so status checks, downloads, and deletions use the
configured caption-models root. Preserve the captionModels fallback at
userData/captions, and establish whether installed models are migrated or
require a new download when the location changes; align captionModels.test.ts
with that behavior.
- Line 179: Serialize updateStorageLocations and resetStorageLocations through a
shared mutation queue, taking each stored-state snapshot only after its queued
task begins. Ensure each mutation observes prior commits and that a reset cannot
be overwritten by an earlier-started update; preserve the existing validation
and write behavior.
Review comments at
@src/components/video-editor/settings/StorageLocationsSettings.tsx:
- Around line 128-133: Add a localized retry button to the error branch in the
storage-folder loading flow, anchored by the `error` and `folders` condition.
Have it invoke the existing folder-map loading action so users can retry after a
failed initial load; preserve the alert and keep settings open.
- Line 120: Update applyResponse to return immediately when result.canceled is
true, before the failure check can set a load-failure error; preserve the
existing handling for all non-canceled responses.
- Around line 184-186: Handle the Open action separately from `run` in
`StorageLocationsSettings`, so its acknowledgment is not passed to
`applyResponse` as a folder-list response. Set an error only when opening fails,
preserve the busy-state cleanup, and use an appropriate localized failure
message, adding its locale key where required.

Preserve the global scope of these declarations.
Adding top-level imports makes this declaration file an external module. The existing interface Window, declare namespace NodeJS, and supporting interfaces then become module-local instead of augmenting global types. Renderer code therefore loses this file's global Window.electronAPI declaration.
Use inline import("...").Type references without top-level imports, or move the ambient declarations into declare global. Removing only the duplicate import does not fix this scope change.

Load the Parakeet module after the test sets state.userData.
storageLocations.ts reads USER_DATA_PATH when it loads (appPaths.ts:32). The static import in parakeetModel.test.ts runs before beforeEach assigns the fixture root. During that import, the electron mock returns "". The captionModels fallback then becomes path.join("", "captions"), a working-directory-relative path (storageLocations.ts:70). modelDirectory() uses this path (parakeetModel.ts:46), so it no longer points at the captions directory the tests populate (parakeetModel.test.ts:39).
This can cause two failures:
The "reuses a ready model without network" test can start a download instead of reusing the fixture model. The zero-request assertion then fails.
Download and staging files can be written under the working directory instead of the mkdtemp directory that afterEach removes.
Load the module after each test sets its root. For example, call vi.resetModules() and await import("./parakeetModel") in beforeEach. Then USER_DATA_PATH is evaluated against the fixture root. Update the test to use the dynamically imported functions.

Mock storageLocations in the export-stream test. Importing appPaths throws under the current electron mock.
exportStream.ts now imports storageLocations.ts. That module imports appPaths.ts, which calls app.getPath("userData") at module load. The test's electron mock throws for any key except "temp". The test file therefore fails at import time, and the export-stream suite does not run. Mock the storage-locations module so the test does not load appPaths.ts.

Match canonical file paths against canonical storage roots.
isAllowedLocalReadPath checks each canonical candidate against the lexical prefixes. Configured storage roots are saved as path.resolve output, and that output is never canonicalized. A selected folder that is a symlink therefore fails the canonical check. Files created there then fail the second check in the asset and export read paths, unless they are in the approved set.
Canonicalize the allowed prefixes as well, and keep the lexical roots so existing paths still match.

Create the configured temp directory before it is used.
getTempStorageDir() returns the configured path without checking that it exists. If that directory is removed between launches, export start fails. openExportStream() calls fsp.mkdtemp() under this path, and mkdtemp does not create missing parents. The audio mux path also writes beneath this directory. Nothing in the inspected startup code recreates it. The directory is recreated only after a storage-location update or reset, so exports fail until the user restores the directory or changes the setting.
Create the directory in the accessor so both call sites use it:

Provide a retry action after the initial load fails.
If getStorageFolders() rejects or returns an unsuccessful response, this branch replaces all controls with an alert. The user cannot retry. Switching settings categories does not reload the component because SettingsCategory retains visited children.

Route Open through its own handler.
Each Open action passes through run, which passes its result to applyResponse. That function requires folders. The open handler returns only { success: true } on success, so every successful Open sets the load-failure error state to "Could not read storage locations." The folder still opens, so the impact is a spurious error message. The renderer type also omits folders, so TypeScript does not flag the mismatch.
Handle the open acknowledgment separately. Set an error only when the open fails.
Add the settings.storage.openFailed key to the locale files that contain the other settings.storage.* keys.

Adds one settings surface for every folder Recordly writes into, instead of only the recordings folder.
中文：新增统一的「存储位置」设置，覆盖 Recordly 所有会写入的目录，而不只是录制文件夹。
app.getPath("downloads")app.getPath("temp")(8 call sites)<userData>/captions<userData>The panel is wired into both the Home dashboard settings and the editor settings dialog, and every string is translated for all 11 shipped locales (en, es, fr, de, it, nl, ko, ja, pt-BR, zh-CN, zh-TW).
Motivation
English: Recordly already lets you move recordings, but everything else stays on the system drive. Anyone running a small C: drive has to relocate exports by hand, and a long export silently fills it with scratch files. The same applies to caption models —
ggml-small.binalone is ~488 MB — and to regenerable thumbnail caches.中文：Recordly 已经允许改录制位置，但其他目录仍固定在系统盘。C 盘小的用户只能手动搬导出文件，长时间导出还会被临时文件悄悄占满；字幕模型（单个
ggml-small.bin约 488 MB）和可再生的缩略图缓存同样如此。Type of Change
Related Issue(s)
No open issue is linked. The feature was requested directly: "录屏软件不能更改录制视频位置，所有可保存的项目/产出都要能改保存位置" (report: Recordly cannot change where recordings and outputs are saved).
Screenshots / Video
Not included: building the renderer needs the full dependency tree, which did not install reliably from this network. The panel reuses the existing
SettingsRow+Buttonbuilding blocks and the same layout as the Storage block it replaces, so it renders like the surrounding settings rows.截图/录屏暂缺：本机网络无法稳定安装完整依赖以构建渲染层。面板复用了现有
SettingsRow与Button，布局与被替换的 Storage 区块一致。Testing Guide

Implementation notes
electron/storageLocations.tsowns the four new keys (exports,temp,captionModels,cache). It validates withmkdir+access(W_OK), writes atomically via temp file +rename, and reports failures per key.electron/ipc/register/storageLocations.tsmerges those withrecordings/projectsinto one list.projectsstays derived from the recordings folder because the library resolves<recordingsDir>/Projects, so picking a projects folder adopts its parent.src/types/storageFolders.tsis the single shared type source for main and renderer.project/manager.tsadds the configured folders to the local-read allowlist so reopened media stays readable.DashboardSettings.tsxis replaced by the shared panel, so there is one implementation rather than two.Known limitations / 已知限制
npm run typecheck,npm run lintornpm run i18n:checkend-to-end: fetching the full source tree and dependency install kept resetting on this connection. What I did verify: every changed file parses with esbuild against the project'sts2020/JSX settings;electron/storageLocations.ts,electron/ipc/register/storageLocations.ts,electron/ipc/captions/whisper.tsandelectron/ipc/captions/parakeetModel.tscompile clean undertsc --strict --noUnusedLocals --noUnusedParameters; no file has unused imports; and all 11 shipped locales contain every new key. Please run the full checks in CI before merging.typecheck/lint/i18n:check。已完成：全部改动文件经 esbuild 按项目 ES2020+JSX 配置解析通过；四个主进程文件在tsc --strict --noUnusedLocals --noUnusedParameters下无错误；无未使用 import；11 种上线语言的新 key 齐全。合并前请在 CI 跑完整检查。Summary by CodeRabbit
