t-rec does not clean up recording frames when being killed

Open stoffeastrom opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Was a while ago I used t-rec but somehow I manage to get into some shenanigans. Starting it by

t-rec

and it looked like usual. After a short while it looks like it's stopping but no message for generating gif/video. After a some hour my disk got full :D. Did a small reproduction video for better understanding. Not sure if I need to update something but either way the process shouldn't run out of control.

Glad you found a solution.

But one question, how did you manage to have the keyboard keys popping up as overlay?

@sassman for this recording I actually used Kap that has a key cast plugin key-cast.

For mac you should be able to use keycastr though

I think one bug can be extracted here, when killing t-rec the files from the recording should be cleaned up.
