10 years ago Hi, thanks for the report. I've addressed the default paths not working. It will now try to create them. If it can't, it won't proceed like everything is kosher, it'll just bail (with errors in the ~/.cinnamon/glass.log, if enabled in the General tab of Cinnamon Settings).
As for including sound in the recording, this isn't something I can support. You can experiment with changing the GStreamer pipeline used by Cinnamon, some people have had success with it, but it may result in an unstable system while recording. Before I switched to using the built-in AppletSettings, I provided an easy way for this to be changed, but it's one of the things that has to be done by hand for now. You can search it out fairly easily though.
Using Mint 16.
The default paths are not working. (note double slashes for pictures) (I did not have a folder called screenshots - was it going to make one or was I susposed to make one,) ~/Pictures/screenshots tries to save to (from what it put in the clipboard) /home/peter//Pictures/screenshots/screenshot-window-2014-02-03-174006.png If I change it to /home/peter/Pictures it works
needed to change the default path for video or the recorder would not work (no folder called screencasts - see above) ~/Videos/screencasts changed to /home/peter/Videos
Then the recorder worked but only records video, no sound. I have a usb webcam with a mic in it and no sound is recorded. No option to record sound. Just shows the options 'recorder' and 'start recording' - see screenshot.
