My current idea is to have a status area inside the peek window as a semi transparent bar at the bottom of the window. This could be used to show the rendering progress as suggested in #58, but the actual notification would stay around after recording, showing the file name and allowing one to open the file manager or open the file directly in the preferred application or even more.

My proposed solution is something like this:

After recording the whole recording area stays dark during post processing to indicate it is not yet ready for recording again. The notification bar area at the bottom shows the processed file name together with a progress indicator.
After post processing the window is ready for recording again, but the semi transparent notification area at the bottom still shows the saved file name and an icon to open the file in the file manager. This could be expanded to open the file in the preferred application or share it (see e.g. Add possibility to upload file on ftp. #60). Once the next recording starts the notification bar is hidden again. You can also explicitly close the notification bar with the X on the right in case you want to get a better look at what is behind it (e.g. to exactly position the recording area again).

Thoughts?

Uh oh!

Notifications are superfluous #21
