Allow simple option to generate looping gif #15

A simple checkbox "auto-loop" should be enough.

This would make the tool perfect for creating gifs for Twitter, since, as documented at https://support.twitter.com/articles/20156423:

Why doesn’t my animated GIF play on Twitter? Twitter supports looping GIFs. If your animated GIF doesn’t loop and plays a single time, it will display as a static image.

Currently, these gifs have to be uploaded to a third-party site like img.ur and then linked from the tweet :(

Isn't it already possible? Record -> .GIF repeat count = 0

On a Mac, I noticed that you had to toggle (e.g. enter 1, then enter 0 again) the 0 input in order for the repeat to work.
