Oh, hang on, looks like "check free disk space on record start, warn if less than X" exists already, my bad on that.
I'd still like the other options, though, myself. I often use reaper to record long sessions, live shows, etc. (This is probably how the issue bit me the last time.) I could just increase the value in the above pref, of course, to cover the longest possible session, but it just seems like good manners for a program to say "hey, I ran out of disk space while doing that". Even CLI tools will say "no space left on device". And not creating nearly-invisible zero-length items seems like good practice.

Also, doesn't the OS tell you when you're running low on disk space?

I thought windows only warns for the system drive, no? I have various things going on linux to monitor disks, but 99% of the time I'm not in front of the computer when this happens anyway (rather, playing the music being recorded).
It's not that I want reaper to hold my hand through absolutely any eventuality; it can't protect me from being dumb and forgetting to properly set the output path. I just think it'd be nice to have clearer feedback. It's a bummer to have the band go home and you sit down to mix and realize only the first third of the audio actually got recorded. Not at all reaper's fault, of course, just sayin.
