We need a better way to specify a screen-selection for the purposes of recording.
The current selection-control provides only a postage-stamp-sized representation of your desktop for selecting the corresponding exact portion of the screen you want to capture during a recording. Having two monitors, and giving my high screen resolution, this control has become practically useless for selecting the exact (to the pixel) portion of my screen I'd like to record.
That control should be removed altogether, and instead, there should be a button called "Make Selection" and that button should allow you to use your actual desktop for making the selection, rather than a making your selection using a scaled down postage-stamp-sized representation the desktop(s).
If that's too complicated, then we should at least provide text-box controls allowing the user to specify:
1) Start Pixel X
2) Pixel Width
3) Start Pixel Y
4) Pixel Height
When these simply controls are filled out, the user should be able to see their selections outlined on their screen.
We could also add "selection adjustment" buttons such as:
1) Move Selection Right 1 pixel
2) Move Selection Left 1 pixel
3) Move Selection Up 1 pixel
4) Move Selection Down 1 pixel
5) Increase Width 1 pixel
6) Increase height 1 pixel
7) Decrease Width 1 pixel
8) Decrease Height 1 pixel
The additions would be pretty easy to add to gtk-recordmydesktop, and everyone using the application will appreciate the additional precision.

Even with the on-screen-selection feature, making modifications to your selection is not possible; after you've made your selection, all you can do is redo it entirely. Other selection controls (in other applications) typically allow you to hover your mouse over any edge of your selection and shrink or enlarge that side of your selection.

Actually, it is possible to make you selection on the actually machine, if you select that option from the applet/indicator's context-menu, but that option should also be provided on the application window, because it took me several sessions before I finally discovered that feature.
Even with the on-screen-selection feature, making modifications to your selection is not possible; after you've made your selection, all you can do is redo it entirely. Other selection controls (in other applications) typically allow you to hover your mouse over any edge of your selection and shrink or enlarge that side of your selection.
If that's too complicated, then we should at least provide text-box controls allowing the user to specify:
1) Start Pixel X
2) Pixel Width
3) Start Pixel Y
4) Pixel Height
When these simply controls are filled out, the user should be able to see their selections outlined on their actual screen.
We could also add "selection adjustment" buttons such as:
1) Move Selection Right 1 pixel
2) Move Selection Left 1 pixel
3) Move Selection Up 1 pixel
4) Move Selection Down 1 pixel
5) Increase Width 1 pixel
6) Increase height 1 pixel
7) Decrease Width 1 pixel
8) Decrease Height 1 pixel
These additions would be pretty easy to add to gtk-recordmydesktop, and everyone using the application will appreciate the additional precision.

We need a better way to specify AND MODIFY a screen-selection for the purposes of recording.
The current selection-control provides only a postage-stamp-sized representation of your desktop for selecting the corresponding exact portion of the screen you want to capture during a recording. Having two monitors, and giving my high screen resolution, this control has become practically useless for selecting the exact (to the pixel) portion of my screen I'd like to record.
That control should be removed altogether, and instead, there should be a button called "Make Selection" and that button should allow you to use your actual desktop for making the selection, rather than a making your selection using a scaled down postage-stamp-sized representation of the desktop(s).
