[1.0.2] Gif recording won't work on Arch Linux about menyoki HOT 5 CLOSED

Oh, I was misusing them, with the correct command it works. Sorry for the trouble.

No worries 👍🏼

I'm trying to use it together with slop so that I can use it in a CLI-less style, but I've to figure out how to start the recording after selection is done.

menyoki record --root --size $(slop)

You have to press record key bindings after slop selection is done basically. I could've implement without it but it contradicts with my design choice.

Also about the Failed to run the command message, menyoki can run a command and record/capture it's output. So it probably thought one of your misused arguments was a command and tried to run it.

Alright thanks. I can't help but think it'd be nice to have a flag to start right away as it would allow powerful workflow by just mapping menyoki to a something like Ctrl-PrintScr, selecting the area you want to record and then you're done. But indeed without any kind of feedback, the user is a bit blind to what's happening behind the scene and this kind of workflow typically calls for some kind of visual feedback which may not be the project scope.

Thank you for taking your time to develop this and answer to annoying users!

1. Run `record rec gif` parameters

Try menyoki rec gif.

Edit: What are the exact parameters that you're using to run menyoki?

Okay I changed the default behaviour a little bit:

menyoki cap --root --size $(slop)

And if you still want to confirm the selection with action keys (LAlt-S), use --select:

from menyoki.
