Another thing I've considered is adding a way to watch arbitrary ranges of memory using in the chdkptp GUI. It would also be relatively easy to implement a memory browser that gives you a hex-editor style window.

Something like this? ;)

The chdkptp rmem command already gives a hex dump like this.

My idea for a GUI was
1) Allow scrolling instead of entering the address every time
2) Update automatically at some (optional, user controllable) rate
3) Select values to display in different formats (int / unsigned / short etc) like hex editors do
4) Be able to add watches of multiple different addresses

Done, check out https://github.com/CHDKUtil/CHDKPTPRemote/tree/hexbox.

Shouldn't be a problem.

I'm using Be.HexEditor. I didn't check extensively, but I don't think it has any of these implemented.

Then it would no longer be a CHDK PTP Test app, would it? :D

This looks very useful.  Additional Features that I think would be useful but maybe too much trouble to implement;)

Highlight changing values; log changes (click on changing field see list of values)

Save to file.

Multiple split ranges (at least two)

Also, mostly unrelated, but would it be possible to get statistics on the pc address in order to profile what is using CPU cycles?

Split this since it's not related to the chdkptp (chdkptp refers to the client I wrote and maintain https://www.assembla.com/spaces/chdkptp, not the protocol as a whole, which is called the CHDK PTP extension)

Is there somewhere a dedicated CHDK PTP topic?

The original development thread is in https://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=4338.0

The wiki page has some background information http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/PTP_Extension

However, if you want to propose changes or ask questions it's fine to do it in this thread, or start a new one. It's OK for a thread to wander through a few related topics as the idea evolves.
