Per-session custom recording folder name (JSON-RPC)

[iknowkungfutoo]

Currently, Jamulus adds "Jam-" to the start of every recording session folder name. If a band record multiple songs during a jamming session, it would be very useful that on each start or a new recording, that the name of the song, or whatever tag they would like to use, could be used instead of "Jam-".

I propose adding an optional parameter, e.g. sessionName to the JSON-RPC startRecording and maybe the restartRecording commands.

If this parameter is not used, default to the "Jam-" tag.

I'd be happy to make this and associated changes to implement this functionality.

Nice idea. But the Server UI would need to include it as part of the same PR to retain parity.

Suggested approach for anyone picking this up:

1. Add the feature to the recorder itself
2. Expose that to JSON-RPC for testing the feature and attach a test session (directory listing would probably do)
3. Expose the same feature to the Server UI and attach screenshots plus test session (directory listing would probably do)

Thanks.

I am unable to build/test macOS, iOS and Android. I would not be comfortable making changes for those.

It's a Qt UI. There's no code difference. Use Qt Creator on whatever platform you're developing on normally, get it working there, and it'll get tested by people who do have those available.

Right. Ok. I can do that for the Windows UI.

And if you've got a phone, you can grab the side-loadable binaries from the Autobuild, too.

Do we have a consensus for this activity so I can progress with the implementation or is there anything else to add?
