I’m using QuickTime multiple times per day to record something I want to share. I always use the included “New Screen Recording” feature for that.

And every time I open it I’m greeted by the Finder’s file picker asking me to select a file to open. This dialog is presented dead in the middle of my screen. Usually in the exact same spot where I’d like to record something.

The workflow is:

1. Open QuickTime
2. Click “Cancel” on file picker dialog or move it to the side
3. Select “New Screen Recording”
