Can you add a command line argument to choose which camera mode to start in?

I would like to automatically make movies through a bash script to display on a monitor in the hallway of my workplace, but like you I vastly prefer tracking users instead of just the visible repository.

You can use --camera-mode track to do this. This wiki page was a bit out of date so I've updated it.

Cheers.

Can we specify certain time periods?

You can specify the period shown, as a fraction of the entire log using --start-position --stop-position (values between 0.0 and 1.0).

Brilliant stuff! Thanks so much for creating this! :)

Can the real time control keys be documented a bit too (or are they documented somewhere)? I have found that middle mouse switches the camera mode (or resets it), that "k" brings up the colour key and "s" toggles through different colour sets. I will see if I can dig through the code and note down some more when I have more than a couple of min to look.

I documented some more of the controls and command line options and ended up moving this page to Controls as 'Appearance' was too narrowly focused.

Cheers
