Create an explicit "record mode" #66

Open machawk1 opened 9 years ago

Like a camcorder, WARCreate could be set in “record mode”, and a flashing red circle will be superimposed on the screen for a reminder. In this mode, every page that the user visits will be archived. For example, P1 --> P2 --> P3 will result in all three pages being written to the local WARC file(s) without requiring the user to explicitly save each page. For long running sessions and “dives” into a site, this will be a welcome feature.

The Chrome pageAction icon does not supported animated GIFs. bd3ae23ad6b95dc9be8c26b728b1897cd71b9e28 adds support for blinking every 1.5 seconds (which seemed like the natural rate) but when the pageAction popup is closed, whatever was last displaying sticks and the timeouts are killed. It's probably better to keep the red dot there anyway.
