An issue with the histogram display options

We have three options for displaying of the histogram: 'don't', 'always', 'shoot'. An user from the German CHDK forum misses a fourth option: 'always only in record mode'

We have two possibilities: 1. Add a new option in histogram menu or 2. unload the histogram module when the OSD option 'hide in play mode' is active and the camera is in play mode.

I think, the second way is the better solution for the CHDK OSD concept.

Attached is a solution for an additional option in the histogram menu: [Don't, Always, Rec, Shoot]. 'Rec' means, the histogram is displayed only in recording mode for photos.

Seems to work for me.
edit: tried your USB state patch as well, also working.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for doing this, it seems like a good idea to me.

One comment: this changes the meaning of the value in the users cfg, so if they hard "half" before it will now be rec. I'm not sure this is a big deal, the order of options is more logical the way you have it, but it could cause some confusion.

Don't forget what the H stands for.

Thanks for your statement.
I think, the new order is more important as a compatibility to the old configuration. This is 'only' the OSD configrationen and not the core.

A side effect could be, the user sees, something has changed. ;)

I agree the more logical order is better.

Perhaps add a check in the 'config_restore_1_2()' function (conf.c) to convert the 'Shoot' value when loading a 1.2 config file into 1.3. At least this way users won't get a surprise when 1.3 becomes the stable version.

I have added the patch in r3326.

Maybe phil's proposal is useful.
