Screenshot of a start window with missing recording options
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Spectacle settings.
2. Go to General tab.
3. In "At Spectacle startup" set "Do not make screenshot automatically".
4. Close Spectacle settings and main window.
5. Launch Spectacle.
6. Try to find options for screen recording.
Observed:
Only screenshot options are available (see screenshot).
Expected:
Recording options should be also available.
Workaround:
Make any screenshot to allow the main window be shown, then switch to Recording tab and use recording options from there.
*** Bug 477664 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Can confirm that the interface is really confusing. Meta+Print takes a screenshot and then you also have the ability to record. Launching Spectacle from App menu does not allow this. Also on Plasma 6 it seems the "print" button alone does nothing. Would it be appropriate to bump the importance since otherwise users may never find the screen recording functionality?

I'm not sure if that warrants bumping up the importance or not. With that said, I will work on this now that the translated string freeze from beta is over.

No, we have a bot that auto-assigns when someone posts a relevant merge request if they put "BUG: 468778" in the description. *** Bug 481363 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/graphics/spectacle/-/merge_requests/336 Git commit df97b89ec03513e2525d0648c3bacdfd793c49ac by Noah Davis. Committed on 04/03/2024 at 15:35. Pushed by ndavis into branch 'master'. Add recording options to the no screenshot dialog I also removed the "Take a new screenshot" header because it was redundant and there's a decent amount of padding all around without it. Not using tabs because they don't look good in this context and there's no segmented control yet.
