When monitor/window is selected, it would be a good idea to see its current pixel dimensions #37

The rationale is this, for example I would like to record 1280x720 clip so I am also interested to have the window of the same size or maybe a multiple. One way is to maybe put a button and offer a resize of the target window to the desired resolution, but I realize it might be tricky in certain aspects like e.g. permissions and UWP app sandbox. So maybe we can at least see current width and height of what will be scaled to target 1280x720 during recording and let user manually size the window to desired matching. This also might apply to aspect ratio (if the app is doing letterboxing in the transcoding session, probably it does not). Or, alternatively maybe one another and good way is to just keep the resolution of original window assuming it won't change or just doing scaling to what we started with.

Sorry, I had to write all this in order to find "Use source size" option on the screenshot on the frontpage, and then in the app too. This is what I was looking for, thanks!
