[ASLO] [REQUEST] TimeLapse-2

[Peter Hufford]

I changed compatibility to 0.82 only.

I have experienced the problem you described. When I experienced that
problem I thought it was caused by an unsupported webcam and microphone. I
found that Record and Measure activities did not work for me either because
of this. I am curious whether they work for you, but I'm guessing you know a
lot more about gstreamer and gstreamer comparability than I do.

Saying it works fine is a bit of a stretch. I started programming TimeLapse
a month ago for my python programming class with Jeff Elkner. The class
ended before I finished TimeLapse and now I have no time to work on
TimeLapse. It is many bugs and some incomplete parts right now. I hope
someone will pick up on TimeLapse where I left off. If that doesn't happen
I'm considering making TimeLapse inactive until summer when I have time to
finish it. I did not realize timelapse development would come to a halt when
my class ended. It should definitely remain experimental for now and perhaps
it should I should make it inactive until June when school gets out.

Thanks again for your feedback and for taking the time to try out TimeLapse,
