The first click in my GIFs are all just focusing the window I want to record #203

@chriscalo apologies for the lagged reply. This should work without stealing the focus if you use shortcuts, check out Gifox preferences to see what they are. Unfortunately there's no good way of making it work with the status bar icon, because it opens the library popover and macOS treats it as a window, which gets activated when gets displayed and deactivates the currently active one. |
I've used other macOS popover UIs that don't steal focus from the front window. Let me see if I can track down an example or two. |
@chriscalo That's true and it's the standard behaviour. However, there was a good reason for doing that, which I can't recall, but something to do with interactions. I can see other apps (1Password and Dropbox) with complex popover UI are not doing that, so maybe we should revisit this indeed. I'll post an update here. |
Maybe you can keep stealing focus, but just ignore the first click in the render of the red highlight ? |
We want to try and fix this by avoiding stealing the focus in the first place – this is the preferred solution. Hopefully in one of the upcoming releases. In the meantime, what I also do sometimes is just Cmd + Tab while in selection mode – it works just fine to refocus on the app. But this is not a cure, just a personal tip… 🙂 |
Scenario:
This results in a distracting click at the start of every full-window GIF I create. Could Gifox not steal focus somehow? Or immediately focus the recorded window as soon as I click record?
