Conflicts with ScreenRec #173

Closed mayurjobanputra closed 10 months ago

I have two monitors on my Mac Mini setup. When I use this app and then attempt to do a screen capture or video recording with screenrec.com (free for mac/windows), the "select an area to record" function in screenrec doesn't work as expected for my second monitor when I have any app window present.

In order to say something about this, I will need more information. What exactly isn't working? Note that I can't reproduce this myself because screenrec only works on Apple silicon which I have not. So I will have to rely on as many details as you can provide. Maybe a screen recording using QuickTime helps? It might be difficult though as you are trying to screen record a screen recording tool 🤔

I figured it out. If you use Autoraise with Screenrec, you need to insert a delay in how focus is handled so that Screenrec's capture intent doesn't get automatically hijacked by Autoraise.

We can close this ticket, but perhaps it will come in handy for anyone searching for answers
