Tested it, Settings - Apps - Phone - Recorded Calls - long tap on call entry - share - offers to me: Bluetooth, both installed mail accounts and Nextcloud.
Therefore it should be possible to share by e-mail to yourself or share file to Nextcloud and so get the file accessible in your essentially case, @Linux . But not a comfortable way for normal operation.

Can one add a function to this menu (by tweak/hack), something like copy/move to an accessible directory? I mean, would this be doable by a tweaker/tinkerer like me or does this require professional coder skills? If sharing to Nextcloud is possible, why not share to /home/defaultuser/ ?

Imho another important thing would be to modify the device to save calls as ogg or mp3 or whatever, but smaller file size than wav.
Any ideas?

Yes, it does (at least at my phone), and it remains and isn’t deleted after one playback.

WhyTM is the “record to SD (encrypted) SD card” still missing?

Somebody had the idea of programming this option for the Camera but not extend to Voice recorder, Call recorder? Strange. What’s the point of encryption option on SD card if Call recordings need some obscure path?

Suggestion for system wide setting: Settings / Storage / SD Card - select program’s default preferred media output folder.

I do not have sim jet in my Jolla C2. Tested with Xperia 10 II.
After the call you get a notification. Then on events view you have a message. Tapping that message opens Settings app where you have a list of the recorded calls. That is the same location as described @Seven.of.nine

Maybe the person who implemented the feature in Camera app isn’t the same person who is responsible for Voice Recorder or Call Recorder? Maybe people just haven’t made a feature request and kept enough noise to make it a priority for Jolla?

From gut instinct i’m sure this is the case, therefore i think it’s much easier to tweak the share feature and add an option for copy to home directory. This would not require changes in the complex and hardened recording mechanism but only in the share options. I’m sure this is easier to do.

Any hints where I should start to try to tweak the sharing mechanism?

Not hugely complicated, but still too complex for a simple hack or tweak to make it happen.

You need to have an application which supports the (Sailfish) Share action in a certain way so it shows up in that Share menu you get on long-press.

This can not be added by just hacking some config.

But you could for example ask @ichthyosaurus to add Sharing support to his brilliant Filemanager app, so files Shared to this app will end up in Filemanager’s copy-paste clipboard for example.

As an example for the things required, I relatively recently added Sharing to an app of mine, NextMarks.

A much better quality example would be @attah’s SeaPrint sharing plugin which does it properly in c++ and not hackishly in QML like the following example.

You have to have a .desktop file containing certain special keys. This will let SailfishOS know there is an application which claims to be able to consume Share actions:

… and you have to have the app use something like this, so you have an UI:

I only did/do hack qml files and config files, and this is more or less all I’m able to do.
