[Issue] Screen recording doesn't work unless ~/Videos folder exists #489

Closed b4shful closed 1 month ago

b4shful commented 1 month ago

Screen recording using one of the default shortcuts (e.g CTRL+ALT+R) does not work (no notification or anything, it does nothing) unless the ~/Videos folder already exists.

Reproduction:

  1. Ensure your home directory does not have a ~/Videos folder
  2. Attempt to take a screen recording using CTRL+ALT+R (It does nothing)
  3. Create a ~/Videos directory (e.g mkdir ~/Videos)
  4. Take a screen recording using CTRL+ALT+R to start and stop
  5. Notification appears and screen recording works as expected

This behaviour is not the same as the screenshot functionality (CTRL+PrintScreen) which creates a ~/Pictures directory to save the screenshot into even if it doesn't yet exist.

made the script create that folder i also added the xdg-user-dirs package just in case other stuff are like this too (maybe ~/Pictures)
