[request] Pause recording when alt-tabbing

I've been experimenting with Action! as a replacement for fraps. Using the workaround for Quicksync (enabling the output on a missing display) I've been staggered by the videos I can now get with such a low performance hit. Your product is really very very good.

That said I have an issue where alt-tabbing (or pressing the windows key) whilst recording a game will result in the video being stopped. I then usually forget to start the recording again when I come back and so nothing end up getting recorded. I'd like it so that when I do alt-tab away from the game the video pauses rather then stop and continues when I return to the game. Is this possible?

Thanks
Mr Wonka.

Actually it's not possible due the resolution change that happens when you switch from game to desktop.

Is it not possible to then start recording automatically when you switch back? Multiple videos would work I guess.

I'll ask our developers and let you know.
