disabled by default is good since app has a convienent way of breaking or continuing but if total_iter is not available to app then 
it does not know what the intended loop value is.

Also you might want to check that there are at least 2 frames if ignore_loop is false. While total_iter should not be set if there 
is only one frame it could be.

Again, you don't need ignore loop. app just needs total_iter so it has a way of knowing and can do whatever.
