@flxrbr In the gui version it's the option that says "All monitors (for VRR, ...". Note that this option and screen-direct-force is only available on nvidia. On amd/intel I believe that VRR works if you just record a monitor/screen without having to do anything extra. But that is just my guess, I dont have a VRR monitor so I cant test it.

"If you are using a variable refresh rate monitor then choose to record "screen-direct-force". This will allow variable refresh rate to work when recording fullscreen applications. Note that some applications such as mpv will not work in fullscreen mode. A fix is being developed for this."

Which would be this "screen-direct-force" option on the GUI version?

@flxbr thanks, that wasn't an error before for some reason. I fixed it now

Can't build with Yay. I'm on Arch - KDE.

@andreymal the git website mentions where you can report bugs on the front page. You can report them to my email: dec05eba at protonmail dot com

Where is the right place for bug reports?

There are many small bugs (which I can report somewhere if you're interested), but the most annoying to me is that the record directory is reset to default ~/Videos after stopping recording, probably because main.cpp:787 ignores the previously selected directory.

@mfcmquintela those settings should now be saved. For save location, it saves the directory instead of the file path (when recording)

@DEC05EBA I would really appreciate it

@mfcmquintela no but i could add that

Is there anyway of saving the settings (quality, screen, audio, save location, etc) between restarts of the program? Currently I'm having to manually set up everything again between each individual start.
