Release notes
Videorc 0.9.10 Beta 1
Videorc now checks for updates automatically on every launch, and an output directory written with ~ no longer sends recordings to the wrong place.
Updates find you, and recordings always land where you expect
- Videorc checks for updates on every launch — no more visiting Settings to find out.
- Updates download in the background and apply on your next quit, never interrupting a recording.
- An output directory written with ~ (like ~/Movies) now works exactly like in the terminal.
Updates come to you
Until now, Videorc only looked for a new version when you clicked "Check for
updates" in Settings. Every launch now checks automatically: if there's a new
version, it downloads in the background, the sidebar shows an update chip, and
a quiet notification tells you it's ready. It installs when you restart — or
on your next natural quit — and never interrupts a running recording. (Opt
out with the VIDEORC_DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE=1 environment variable.)
The ~ output directory bug
If your Settings output directory was written with a ~ (like
~/Movies/Videorc/Recordings), recordings could be saved to a hidden folder
instead of the one you meant — the Library then couldn't open them. Videorc
now expands ~ exactly like your shell does, for recordings and imports, and
refuses a path it can't resolve to a real location instead of guessing.
If you recorded into the void before this fix: your files are not lost — contact us and we'll point you at where they landed.
