Screen recording requires root authentication

[GideonWolfe]

Describe the bug
When activating screen recording through the Dashboard menu, the icon change and completion notification indicate the screen recording is successful. After opening the screen recording directory, I found it empty.

To Reproduce

1. Run hyprpanel from the terminal.
2. Click the "Record Screen" button and select the desired display
3. Notice the following prompt in the terminal

==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.policykit.exec ====
Authentication is needed to run `/nix/store/awl9vjsm3pbv28iry7plhzvxdnb ... -kms-socket-PlBCPhZHfa /dev/dri/card1' as the super user
Authenticating as: gideon
Password:
==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE ====

4. At this point, the screen recording will be in the output directory.

Expected behavior
That the screen recording functionality is accessible without needing to use a terminal

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Distribution: NixOS 24.11
• Window Manager/Desktop Environment: Hyprland

Additional context

I'm also confused at the choice of not providing a config option for the output directory of the screen recording. I have taken the time to configure the commonly used XDG directories, so it would be great if XDG_VIDEOS_DIR/screencasts could be used, or even better just let the user configure it themselves. I now find my home directory cluttered with a videos (mine) and Videos (that only contains hyprpanel screen recordings)

Lots of great feedback. The recording is going to be reworked to provide multiple options or potentially a custom recorder. I'll likely add the QoL updates in that effort.

Thanks for the quick response! loving hyprpanel so far, most everything works great out of the box :)
