Another suggestion is use in terminal call "fdesktoprecorder" instead of "FDesktopRecorder".

Thanks for your comment :-)
Quote:Froksen, When launching the Fdesktop configure to show by defaut the language system to display if exist the default system lenguage instead of english.
Not sure that I understand your comment fully.
The program should always choose the "System language" if possible (and not chosen otherwise).
Maybe some strings haven't been translated and thats why its in english rather in your language?

Have though of this serveral times too. Sadly I don't have that much time at the moment to fix or do almost anything on the fdesktoprecorder.
But it has been added to the issuetracker on github :-)

Sounds like a super idea. Currently though, I have no idea how to make it. But again great idea :-)

Currently it is not possible via the program. I have been searching for a way to do this. But as far as I was able to find, it looks like it has something to do with whether your hardware supports it or not. (Haven't testet it on my own box yet).
Try looking at the following:

Ability to specify the Region of the screen, something other than the whole window is exactly what I hoped for and so quick. Thank you very much for the responsiveness and great tool.

Sugestion: A program FDesktopRecorder in GTK interface would be great. Besides having the repositories of various distribuition GNU/Linux, #apt-get install fdesktoprecorder

Hi
Fantastic job! Thanks! (BTW, there are some new/changed strings on Transifex :-)
>> Sugestion: A program FDesktopRecorder in GTK interface would be great.
Good idea, although I cannot code in GTK and will focus on making the Qt/KDE version better rather than making two "lesser versions" :-)
(Note: I take it as a compliment that you want a GTK version of my program :-))
But if you or anybody else want to, be free to do so. Although the fdesktoprecorder uses alot of Qt-stuff, so it would be more or less a rewrite - I guess:-/
Again thanks for your translation and your fine comment.

Unfortunately I do not know programming, hopefully someone do, if I knew I write.
Thanks for reply.

1 - When selecting a Single Window, be able to specify whether to include all the window decorations or only record the viewable frame within the window.
2 - Be able to draw an area rectangle on the screen to be recorded separate from the Single Window option.
Thanks for the great work so far.

Thanks for the fine comment, happy to hear that you like it :-)
>> 2 - Be able to draw an area rectangle on the screen to be recorded separate from the Single Window option.
This is one of the things I'll properly want try to do in future versions - but no guarantee. It would be an fantastic feature. Although I do not have too much time at the moment - sadly :-/
>> 1 - When selecting a Single Window, be able to specify whether to include all the window decorations or only record the viewable frame within the window.
Will properly be possible when/if #2 is done, although an interessting though. Just curious - why do you want this, in which use case? :-)
Again, thanks for your comment :-)

Hmm.. sounds really strange..
* On which distro and environment do you get this error?
* Could I get you to copy the consoleput to a pastebin like: http://pastebin.com/ ? :)
* Have you experienced this with previous versions or is it a new issue?
Currently I have no idea what goes wrong, sry - hoping on the consoleoutput can tell more :-)

The distro is Archlinux x64 with its bleeding packages: xorg 1.13, kernel 3.6.3, kde 4.9.2, mesa 9.0 and xf86-video-intel 2.20.12.
There's nothing really helpful in the console output (http://paste.kde.org/580076/). I'll have to look for a way to build a debugging version.

Hmm.. I will see what I can do, and let me know how it does with your debugging package :-/
As far as I know, you are the first having this issue :-/
