Hi,

when I select a region on the thumbnail, it is wrong (see attached screenshot). Also notice that the aspect ratio of the thumbnail does not seem to match my desktop (2960x1050 pixels), I thought it might be related to the way you calculate the region..

thanks

ps: screenshot was to big, attachment is resized 50%. find original here http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/6990/qtrecordmydesktopselect.png

QtGui.QApplication.desktop().screenGeometry() return incorrect value.
In the functions QtThumbSelector.__init__ I replaced the line:

self.pix=QtGui.QPixmap.grabWindow(self.root)
siz=QtGui.QApplication.desktop().screenGeometry()
(self.wwidth, self.wheight)=(siz.width(),siz.height())

on
self.pix=QtGui.QPixmap.grabWindow(self.root)
(self.wwidth, self.wheight)=(self.pix.width(),self.pix.height())

and it solved the problem.

QtGui.QApplication.desktop\(\).screenGeometry\(\) return incorrect value. In the functions QtThumbSelector.\_\_init\_\_ I replaced the line: self.pix=QtGui.QPixmap.grabWindow\(self.root\) siz=QtGui.QApplication.desktop\(\).screenGeometry\(\) \(self.wwidth, self.wheight\)=\(siz.width\(\),siz.height\(\)\) on self.pix=QtGui.QPixmap.grabWindow\(self.root\) \(self.wwidth, self.wheight\)=\(self.pix.width\(\),self.pix.height\(\)\) and it solved the problem.
