Description
Settings does not have a an option to make the current display the default resolution. If I choose "Custom" in the settings, then click the red recording button, what I get in the movie save dialog resolution just says "Custom." I could then manually change that setting to current display, but that defeats the purpose of trying to make "current display" the default so that the user does not have to remember to manually choose it. ANyway, being curious I just went ahead with recording when the movie-save dialog had "custom" as the resolution and what I got was a ginormous 1920x1080 or something like that.
It should be that if the user does not change any settings or manually change resolution in the save dialog, what they get (the default) is the current graphics window resolution.
