[feature request] Disable autoplay while autotracking #19

Open nickkolok opened 5 years ago

nickkolok commented 5 years ago

An option to disable autoplay (or to play with step n) will make autotracker faster.

Good idea, I'll check it out. It could take a while, though, since I'm retired ;-)

What kind of coding do you do? Do you know a lot about video and Java?

Does the autotracker run any faster when the video is not visible (uncheck Video|Visible box)?

My primary language is JavaScript. Java relates to JavaScript as a dog does to a hot-dog. (Russian version of the joke: Java для JavaScript -- как кот для котлеты). You can check my github if you want. So, I can probably help with debug. I'm not familiar to Java build system.

Not sure if it has any effect. Need more thorough research.

In any case, switching the video to be invisible seems to be a good alternative to a new tracker option.
