描述

in some places green-recorder has hard wired paths to files. e.g.

indicator = appindicator.Indicator.new("Green Recorder", '/usr/share/pixmaps/green-recorder.png', appindicator.IndicatorCategory.APPLICATION_STATUS)

and:-

builder.add_from_file("/usr/lib/green-recorder/ui.glade")

This assumption breaks the ability for green-recorder to work in some environments. Specifically when containerised or confined, that directory may be somewhere else (relative) on the filesystem, and not at that absolute path.

研究方向
Search the entire codebase for hardcoded absolute paths like '/usr/share/pixmaps/green recorder.png' and '/usr/lib/green recorder/ui.glade'. Replace them with relative paths or use environment variables or standard directory lookups (e.g., XDG DATA DIRS). Ensure the app can find its resources regardless of installation prefix.
