just to let you know that I'm listening and actively working on these issues. Right now I just finished implementing a couple of improvements:

1) there is now a small overlay to indicate that the timer is running

2) I disabled the animation control and it is set to off by default

3) and most importantly, Timelapse now turns off the sensor between shots to save power. This will probably need some controls because it is not worth the extra latency if you're only going to take a couple of shots or if the interval between the shots is extremely short. I still have to implement these controls, but that should be easy. This should address your complaints about power saving.

furthermore, I plan to add an option to skip saving the DNGs and just save JPEGs.

I would release this new version right now but, since I still want to implement these few things and, it's late and I don't feel like packaging right now, you'll have to wait a bit longer.

In the meanwhile, if you could give me your opinions on what kind of controls do you think are convenient for the "sensor off" setting, it would be appreciated. I'm thinking of a minimum number of shots to be taken and maybe a minimum interval between the shots.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you these updates.

Is there by any chance if you going to add flash led support? HDR shots took multiple pictures and didn't combine the images into one.
Also could you add black and white shot into the sensor mode?

Please add some sort notification that the camera time lapse is activated. It is hard to know whether it is actually working or not. Press the camera button and message say TimeLapse is activated, number of shots taken out of xx value.

The dng thumpnail is annoying, it displayed inside the Photos album. Could be great if you could get rid of them too, remove dng raw file and that will save space.

Not sure what else to think of at the moment.
