Live Session app v1.1.17: Pick the project for a call you accept from the popup

Chief now takes you to the project picker when you accept a call popup with an earlier session still open, and stops treating a past session you are only reading as a recording in progress. Windows installs also land in a plain Chief folder.

Back-to-back calls rarely belong in the same project, and reopening an old session to check something shouldn't change what Chief does on your next call. This build fixes both.

Project picker from the call popup

Accepting a call popup while an earlier session was still loaded used to skip straight past the project picker and file the new session under whichever project you used last. Chief now shows you the picker in that case, and keeps it in front of you while you join the call, while the session is being created, and after a start that fails.

Past sessions and calls

Opening a past live session, or watching a session someone else is hosting, used to make Chief think you were already recording. The prompt to start a live session stopped appearing when you joined a call, and Chief told you your session was paused once the call ended even though nothing was recording.

You now get the start prompt on those calls, and a session you are only reading or watching stays untouched when the call ends. A live recording running alongside an open past session still pauses the way it always did.

Fixes

The Windows installer used to place Chief inside an extra folder with the old company name. New installs go to a plain Chief folder under Program Files.

If you run Chief on Windows, install this build to get the corrected folder. On any platform, the call popup now files your sessions where you put them.
