Bug ID: 486933
Summary: Spectacle can't screen record video (never saves to
file)
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 24.02.2
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: noaha...@gmail.com
Reporter: bdunla...@icloud.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I attempt to make a screencast (video recording of a window) and the file never
saves.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Spectacle
2. Type Meta+Ctrl+R to initiate a window-specific screen recording. I then see
the red circle at the bottom right of my screen showing it is recording.
3. I do my thing recording the window (in my test-case: simply me using KCalc)
4. Click the red circle to end recording.
5. Open Dolphin and go to ~/Videos/Screencasts (I had to create the folder, it
wasn't auto-created)
6. See no video files saved.
OBSERVED RESULT
No video files of the screen capture were saved. I checked other areas in the
home folder and they weren't saved elsewhere either.
EXPECTED RESULT
Screen capture of me using KCalc should be saved as a video file in
~/Videos/Screencasts
