Placed unzipped new autoexec.bin file on CF card.  Selected a time lapse setting, pressed set many times.

Time Lapse does not activate???  Pretty much tried everything, what step am I missing???

Thanks

Tried "contains autoexec.bin with english menu, beep confirmation, using PLAY button instead of SET" and all appears OK now.

Could not download the other file as it was marked private.

Thanks everyone for your help and patience.

tried again, everything works ok for me with the autoexec.bin from the new .zip.
I marked the old file private to force people download the new one.
there should be no difference in the behaviour of the time-lapse function, it's the same code.

is this the first autoexec.bin you try or did you have other ones on your camera that worked with SET button starting Time-Lapse?

PLEASE READ THIS WHEN THE SET BUTTON DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU

I know now why SET doesn't work for some people. It depends on your setting in the custom functions what SET should do. (custom function 1)
on setting 0: Normal it does nothing, ALSO IN THE INFO MENU
on settings 1, 2 and 3 it works
on setting 4: AF frame select it selects AF frames, ALSO IN THE INFO MENU

If you have setting 0, I recommend changing to 1,2 or 3.
If you have setting 4 I suppose you want to keep the AF frame selection on this button, so build yourself an autoexec.bin that uses PLAY button instead. downside: the function that is usually on the PLAY button won't be available (increase number of pictures taken by time-lapse by one)
I will set this function to another button soon so you can use settings 0 and 4 and still have the full functionality of the hack.

Nice catch!  Thanks for all your time with this!  That must be it as the PLAY button to activate works fine.  I did try a file using the SET button.

I will check the set button setting when I get home from work.

Short cuts:

Quality menu (can be configured to be available via the SET button in the custom functions)
zoom-out:      af points set 1
zoom-in:       af points set 2
direct-print:   af points set 3

ISO menu:
zoom-out:      ISO  100
zoom-in:       ISO 3200
direct-print:   ISO  400

AF menu:
zoom-out:      LCD brightness level : 1
zoom-in:       LCD brightness level : 5
direct-print:   LCD brightness level : 3

WB menu:
zoom-out:      Kelvin
zoom-in:       Auto BW
direct-print:   Custom WB (automatically picks the last image)

measuring method menu:
zoom-out:      go to beep menu
zoom-in:       spot measurement
direct-print:   go to parameter menu

beep menu:
zoom-out:      toggle flash on/off (red led flashes to show flash is enabled, blue led to show disabled)
zoom-in:       toggle safety shift on/off (red enabled, blue disabled)
direct-print:   toggle mirror lock-up (red enabled, blue disabled)


Let me know if i missed something!

Is there a way to get ISO 50 and ISO 25? I dont care about the "less noise". All i care about if i can slow down the shutter speed to achieve cool affects. (Sometimes ISO 100 and F45 is not enough)

I agree that lower ISOs can come in handy (I sometimes use ISO 50 on the 5DmkII for this reason) but you can always put a 10-stop ND filter on your lens...
