Snapshot Capture Only

I'd like to be able to turn off Record Motion and still be able to Snapshot Capture at specific intervals. Right now Snapshot Capture won't work unless Record Motion is turned on. This added feature would allow an uninterrupted time lapse view of events (i.e., uninterrupted by Motion Events).I'd also like the option of "not recording Live Events". In other words, I'd like to be able to view a Live Event without it being recorded and appearing on the timeline.
