Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/700

I find myself wasting a lot of time when capturing a screen capture and messing it up (which I do often 😄).

Right now I have to:

Press Stop - at this point the capture is saved
Wait for main window to open
Go to File
Go to Discard Project
Delete the capture
Confirm

Since this happens so often it would be really nice if there was a 'Delete' or 'Discard' button next to the stop button to throw out the current capture without having to go through all these steps that take roughly 10-15 seconds.

Hi @RickStrahl

The discard button appears only when the recording is paused.

Oh - never occurred to me to pause and discard. I guess that works, but unintuitive (at least to me) since I never pause. Still think that it would be nice to just have a discard button on the toolbar always visible. Once I know I need to start over, I just want to get going as quickly as possible again. In my workflow it generally takes me 4-5 takes before I get the one I want so any extra clicks and waits here make things faster.

Not a big deal, the pause/discard is reasonable enough.

I don't remember why I set to display that only when paused when implementing that feature.
I can guess that maybe it's related to the fact that the action has no confirmation dialog yet.

I'm going to add a confirmation dialog and I'm going to change a bit the UX.

That's great. I think there's probably a lot of people like me who don't get things right the first time 😃
Thanks!

Done.

It's optional and disabled by default, but it can be enabled by going to Options > Recorder > Interface > Display the discard button.
