"Bad geometry" for use with slurp

[twwn]

Trying wf-recorder -g $(slurp) only leads to Bad geometry: 0,0, capturing whole output instead. with whatever region selected (the two numbers varying accordingly ofc), including the entire screen (a single QHD one).

edit: slurp on its own seems to return its ordinary format: 0,0 2560x1440, 520,482 948x451, etc.

edit2: Uhm, awkward. C&Ping slurp's output directly instead of via variable works as intended‽

Stupid me, I missed quoting the variable. Sorry for the noise.

i have the feeling that when trying to set the geometry with a variable, which is executed prior with slurp, wf-recorder will not catch the geometry, even with added double quotes....

It's not your fault. The man page wf-recorder(1) has it unquoted in its examples:

EXAMPLES

To select a specific part of the screen you can either use --g geometry or use https://github.com/emersion/slurp for interactive selection of the screen area that will be recorded:

$ wf-recorder -g $(slurp)
