Paulo,
I implemented and checked in 3 new command line options:
-R (or --record)  - records to a .fwplay ASCII file, with frame#,dtime,keystrokes,mouseActions
-F (or --fixture) - plays back the .fwplay file, and saves snapshots with a 'fixture' name
-P (or --playback) -plays back the .fwplay file, and saves snapshots with a 'playback' name
.
-R and -F can be combined on the command line to save a step: generate .fwplay and fixture snapshots during the same run
.
In the code I have 3 ways to save the files, and have it set at 1 (folder method)
//0=default: recording.fwplay, fixture.bmp playback.bmp - will overwrite for each scene
//1=folders: 1_wrl/recording.fwplay, 1_wrl/fixture/17.bmp, 1_wrl/playback/17.bmp
//2=flattened: 1_wrl.fwplay, 1_wrl_fixture_17.bmp, 1_wrl_playback_17.bmp (17 is frame#)
namingMethod = 1; 
I don't know if the folder method works on linux - it uses a mkdir() method which is slightly different than windows, so I abstracted with an fw_mkdir() function and a #ifdef.
.
I didn't do any work on the snapshot file type for linux - I think it will save to a .snap file? - someone on linux will need to fix this, for example if you want .rgb snapshot files.
.
I've only run compare on a few sample snapshot files - works so far.
I haven't done the statusbarHud menubar mouse coordinate save and replay yet, so I don't know if there are problems there.
.
Q. what's best of the fwplay and snapshot naming methods: default, folders or flattened, OR should it be a commandline option, and if so with which method as default?
.
