i wonder if CHDK can utilize any standard camera remote to be able to control the SX10 IS functions, such Zoom aside from shutter only....
even the provided software doesn't have a remote shooting utility .... !!!!! why ??
please advice ....

It does much more than PSRemote ever will. And the author has now made it freeware. Since he's made it freeware perhaps some of you can approach him on the possibility of working in conjunction with the CHDK project. Then you wouldn't have to write your tethered camera (PTP?) routines from the ground-up all over again. He's already done all that and done it well. It's just not working in conjunction with CHDK is all. When used tethered to a laptop then Cam4You Remote is probably the better option than anything that CHDK can do. You don't have to always use CHDK you know.
As well as the usual intervalometer uses (and saving your favorite schemes), it also allows for control of Zoom, Mode settings (M,P,Tv,Av), ISO, White Balance, Flash Compensation, Metering Modes, the works. It even uploads photos or streams video to the net for you. Motion Detection is also built-in with even more control over detection cells and trigger methods, setting detection levels individually in each cell. It also does text overlay and video procssing features (rotations, color adjusts, interlacing modes, etc.) Allows for audio recordings (using an external mic or audio source, not the camera's microphones). Far too many things to list here. A short list of some of Cam4You Remote's features are on the Read Me page:

It's best to just install and play with it. You'll be amazed at all it can do. FAR beyond the capabilities of anything that CHDK has done so far for tethered remote shooting.
