Just a nifty alias to make it automatically display in browser

[Manamama]

Problem/Use Case

Just an alias to make it display asap, independent of the input filename. May come in handy for some or can be added as a switch in later versions.

Proposed Implementation:

alias scenedetectme='function _scenedetect() {
    OUTPUT_FILE="$(dirname "$1")/$(basename "${1%.*}")-Scenes.html"
    time scenedetect -i "$1" --verbosity info save-images -o "$(dirname "$1")"  export-html                                   
    echo "Exported to: $OUTPUT_FILE. Opening it with Google Chrome ...".
    google-chrome "$OUTPUT_FILE"
}; _scenedetect'

Output:

~$ scenedetectme "/TOSH-P2_Data_Public/Video/Test_detect/Military robots clearing.mp4"

[Breakthrough]

I agree, this is an interesting idea to provide a bit of interactivity to the export-html command. The webbrowser module should suit this purpose well, and is already available.

Aside: we should also consider removing the need to specify save-images together with export-html, and just have the latter invoke the former with whatever the config file values are.

Thanks for the suggestion!

You had mentioned removing the need to specify both commands all the way back in #17. I am not really that good with the cli stuff, so I can't really make too much sense of how to invoke the save-images command from within the export-html command, but there has to be some way. Also, it would be nice if, when the --no-images flag is set, the save-images command is not invoked.
