Zshare.net seems to be down - yesterday and today. Is there any other place I can download Card Tricks from?

could you add feature to remember last used directory location?
Everytime I would add new CHDK to card I must browse for directory where I have all files for my camera.
Other solution is start browse function within curent directory from where I run cardtricks.

Second wish is a question: Why I couldn't make SD card bootable if I know, that is FAT16 formated = MakeBootable button is greyed?

p.s. Thank You for this very usefull and simple utility.

remember last used directory

good idea - i'll see what i can do 

Why I couldn't make SD card bootable if I know, that is FAT16 formated = MakeBootable button is greyed

that's what CT is supposed to do: as soon as you select the card the button should become available. If not check what it
says in the info panel after 'File system' - if it doesn't recognize a FAT16, it will not 'un-grey' the button. Are you saying it
properly recognizes FAT16, but doesn't free the button ?

Thank you for implementation. 

About button: forget it, I have not made proper tests, maybe I did some mistake.

the logic of the "Make Bootable" button is this:   (in case you're interested  )

"File System: FAT32" --> button greyed out (card > 4 GB or you need to Format as FAT first)

"File System: FAT"     --> button greyed out if already bootable ("CHDK Autorun: ON ...")
                                         button available if not yet bootable ("CHDK Autorun: OFF ...")

Update CardTricks143.zip - 410 kB

• Added support for CCHDK.CFG - better late than never 
  
  
• Resizing ("GUI Config") now no longer forces you to re-select the card

wim,
if you have some time available in this pre-X-Mas days  ...

Adding ewavr's show_bad_b (Wikia article) would be fine since many users need a badpixel list for the new DNG shooting feature.
Creating the list with show_bad_b is very simple, but some people fail already on downloading the program file, so with CT they only have to click the right button(s)...yeah, i know, we coddle the kids !

A possible implementation could be:
- a dialog box with a short intro (usage)
- a file select dialog box to let the user select a RAW file
- calling show_bad_b.exe with this file
- maybe a 'save as...' dialog with the created badpixel file to let the user save it somewhere
