I suspect you have not recorded the gif showing your recording blocklet by using your recording blocklet, right? This seems a very useful blocklet, however!

@Aster89 thank you for reply.

Let me explain this.

In command byzanz-record, there is a -e option which fork another process to execute and time. Then use tail --follow name to follow the file which will exit when file been delete.

Therefore, we can do some tricks, such as copying the script to another location to record at the same time.

And this one is recorded from bar.
