Tips
- If you want finer control over the play speed than what you get with the drop down, you can enter the speed directly in milliseconds. TimeSnapper will use that number as the delay between playing each frame. If you enter 10000, TimeSnapper will advance by 1 frame every 10 seconds.
- Although the filter drop down box appears only to support filtering by program names, it actually can filter on window titles as well. Just type directly into it and TimeSnapper will filter as you type on either the program name or the window title
- You can select a range of activity on the TimeBar just like you can select text in any Windows application -- using either the mouse or the keyboard.
