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.

Firstly I want to properly thank tpaixao, Ricardo for the original script, and anyone else involved for their time and effort, this program is one of the reasons i still hold my n900 dear.

I also wanted to post a first attempt at time lapse video!
It sucks a bit because there was too big an interval at the start, then my mate called me and i answered it. and i tried to get it back into position but failed, and made it a 2 minute gap between photos instead of 5.

Im trying again today with a 1 minute gap, but the sun wasnt out today so may look horrible.
