I made a fork today that:

- Fixed crashes with Selection Tool + Move Tool

- Removed the annoying popup save dialog

- Defaulted snapshot interval to 1 (instead of 3)

- Nicer output file names

https://github.com/thomaseding/aseprite-record

Feel free to yank some/all of the new content from this and bring it into the main project.

I also wrote a post processor that will collapse sequences of identical output files. It will also rename things in proper order, letting you hand-delete bad recorded frames (such as an accidental paint fill). It's still pretty rough on the edges (wrote it today), so I don't have a link for it up yet.

Oh wow, that’s quite an update. I’ll give it a read through and let you know if I pull it back into the main project.

Just a heads up, I’ve pulled in your updates to the project with a minor tweak to maintain compatibility with existing snapshot files & added documentation for a migration path for anyone who may try to use the update with said existing snapshot.

Awesome. Sorry for the C-like Lua... I've never read or written Lua before and couldn't be bothered to read a tutorial :)

Also it looks like you beat me to a backward compatibility shim. Perhaps we should shove the version number into a metadata file such as `foo__record/_version.txt`.

No worries about the C-like Lua, I hadn’t really written any Lua prior to this extension so a lot of it was learned on the fly.

I did managed to squeeze out the compatibility shim, I think it’ll resolve any possible issues that may arise.

Regarding a version file, I don’t imagine it’ll be necessary as I tend to aim to keep things backwards compatible - and based on the nature of the utility I would figure people won’t tend to go back to previous snapshots once they’re done with their piece. Something to think about though, like tracking more meta data if necessary.
