Screen Recording Permissions don't re-prompt #26

Open cori opened 5 months ago

What I Did: Tried to allow screensharing permissions

What Happened: When I was prompted to allow screen-sharing I already had a System Settings dialog open, so macOS couldn't open the Screenshare pane for me to allow rem.

Once I'd gotten out of there I wasn't in the screenshare pane, and when I went back to rem it was still greyed out in the menu bar and the "Start Recording" menu item was still available. I re-clicked it a few times but rem didn't enable and didn't ask me to enable screensharing.

Once I went into the screensharing pane and allowed rem (which was in the list - I didn't have to go find it) I was able to "Start Recording" and rem enabled itself.

What I Expected (or at least a would-be-nice): If rem doesn't have the appropriate permissions so can't enable recording when you try to enable it it would be amaze if it re-started the allow permissions workflow (if that's even possible - I think I've seen it elsewhere)
