This is a nice-to-have to save me a few seconds each time I record at different frame sizes, more than anything else.

For example, I'm recording my game at slightly smaller than that framesize, to account for the Windows frame borders (close, minimize etc). If I want to make a quick gif of a separate smaller part of the screen elsewhere, I would lose the initial frame position and size, and having to spend a few seconds repositioning and sizing the recording frame back to where it was beforehand.

It would be nice if I could save/bookmark a position and size, and then load it back later.

Can you run multiple copies of the program?

I don't use both framesizes in the same session, so I'm not sure this would work.

Well the idea is that (since the program is portable) you could download multiple copies of the program and set each to whatever framesizes you wish. Then just give descriptive shortcuts "ScreentoGif frame 1" or "ScreentoGif frame 2" and launch that copy.

Oh that's an interesting solution! I was trying out a source build locally, separate from the installer build, and I thought it shared the same settings, and I must have just assumed it shared the frame size. That could work, thanks!
