Option to set all other games to "Do Not Record"
I want this option so I can choose which games I wanna record manually instead of having to set all the games I don't wanna record it instead.

They already have this, but I would rather choose to have the default be to not record and have overrides to record.
Same, would like to set "All Other Games" to not record and only record specific games.
Isn't that the point of record manually, you choose when to record manually.
While record in the background is recording always.

What is the difference between using "record manually" and never using the button to "record manually" vs setting it globally "never record", and then one bye one aka manually choosing what games you want to "record manually".

I mean if there are no downsides for record manually and never pushing the record button vs record manually, then it's more time saved just to use "record manually" globally.

You want to select every individual game where you want to record manually vs just choosing "record manually" globally, and then per game basis you use the button to actually start recording.

If you meant individually record in the background, then I would get that idea, but record manually per game basis and then push a button to record instead of just pushing a single button to record, that sound just literal waste of time.

I did not like how I had to manually set every game to not download in the background, now I could do it globally, you're asking basically to add a feature how the download system was before, but yeah as an optional thing.

* I don't agree that manual recording saves time, it takes time whereas automatic recording would have started, well, automatically based on the individual games that have been set while not starting for games the user is not interested in recording.
* Automatic recording saves you from forgetting to hit the record button
* Automatic recording saves you from forgetting to end the recording after the desired time
* Automatic recording allows you to keep your game recorded in real time snipping off the trailing end as per your configured length of time.
* This recommendation should be an override option, keeping the "All other games" as the default setting until the user changes starts adding individual games, like it already is, but allowing us to not record every other game I start up.

"Option to set all other games to "Do Not Record"
I want this option so I can choose which games I wanna record manually instead of having to set all the games I don't wanna record it instead."

You're talking about background recording.

Or do you not know the difference of the words manually recording and background recording.

Also you ignored this part, what I said "If you meant individually record in the background, then I would get that idea", and you instead just put "snip".

Learn to read, I talked about global manual recording vs one bye one manual recording and global no recording, I did not talk about the difference between background recording.

JesFEREM will have to clarify. "I can choose which games I wanna record manually instead..." That 'manually' I am reading as manually choosing, not 'manual recording' which honestly makes the most sense given JesFEREM's question.
Relax dude I only used point form to answer you sentences individually not to come across as rude.
