Public bug reported:
We need a better way to specify a screen-selection for the purposes of
recording.
The current selection-control provides only a postage-stamp-sized
representation of your desktop for selecting the corresponding exact
portion of the screen you want to capture during a recording. Having two
monitors, and giving my high screen resolution, this control has become
practically useless for selecting the exact (to the pixel) portion of my
screen I'd like to record.
That control should be removed altogether, and instead, there should be
a button called "Make Selection" and that button should allow you to use
your actual desktop for making the selection, rather than a making your
selection using a scaled down postage-stamp-sized representation of the
desktop(s).
If that's too complicated, then we should at least provide text-box controls
allowing the user to specify:
1) Start Pixel X
2) Pixel Width
3) Start Pixel Y
4) Pixel Height
When these simply controls are filled out, the user should be able to
see their selections outlined on their actual screen.
We could also add "selection adjustment" buttons such as:
1) Move Selection Right 1 pixel
2) Move Selection Left 1 pixel
3) Move Selection Up 1 pixel
4) Move Selection Down 1 pixel
5) Increase Width 1 pixel
6) Increase height 1 pixel
7) Decrease Width 1 pixel
8) Decrease Height 1 pixel
These additions would be pretty easy to add to gtk-recordmydesktop, and
everyone using the application will appreciate the additional precision.
