That's awesome! Not sure if it's something I'd use often, but that doesn't take away from it's shear coolness! And who said Source Control History wasn't exciting! :)

    Looks great... but it doesn't work for me. The file name has a double backslash in it: "...Extensions\ceyq1ewj.q20\Gource\\data\file.png".

    But even if I directly open that file, it's only a sphere-looking circle.

    I'm on Windows 8 if that can help.

    @Gerard
    Best bet would be to post a question on the actual project's page, on the "Q & A" page. That way the extension author can respond, etc...
