Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I wish the autoplay started automatically when reviewing files.

Describe the solution you'd like it should have the option to automatically play animation on start like a movie player.

Describe alternatives you've considered sketchfab

Additional context see fun. https://skfb.ly/6QStY

That should be a trivial option to add, wdyt @Meakk ?

[Meakk]

Yes, looks straightforward and useful

Hello, I'd like to work on this issue. This is my first time exploring open-source, so if there is anything I can do to improve please let me know.

After looking through the codebase, it seems like an autoplay option should be accessible through a CLI flag and in the configuration JSON file, perhaps something like --autoplay. It should also be able to be toggled while running the application - something like S (since A is used for toggling anti-aliasing), so that loading new files in the folder maintains the autoplay option.

Is anyone currently working on this feature?

Awesome. Please go ahead and dont hesitate to reach out on discord if you need help.
A CLI option --animation-autoplay (and the config file option) would work.
I don't think a key toggle is necessary though. We already have the key "space" to run the animation.
