Label is filled with output name even when selecting custom rectangle #154

Launching with -o -f '%l' Expecting output name in the label only when output box was selected (click), not when drawn a custom rectangle.

That's expected behavior though.

It's not a label of selected region though. And it could be used for differentiating between result being whole output or region selection based on user action.

What would you expect to happen? What other label would it print?

If you use -o -f '%l %x,%y %wx%h' it will print the output as the label AND will print the region selected.

I expected label to be empty if region is selected. Maybe there is some other way to differentiate between output and region selection?

tmccombs commented 1 day ago

And what would be the format for the selected region?

I think probably the best way to handle that would be to allow setting separate formats for selecting a labeled region and selecting a custom region.
