The romlog is saved to internal flash memory by the canon firmware when the crash occurs. The CHDK romlog just copies the most recent saved romlog to the SD card so you can download it. It is possible that the problem you have with switching to playback doesn't generate a romlog.
I am asking whether that specific cameras clock is set to 2015. YES or NO. I don't want to spend time trying to debug a log that has nothing to do with the problem you reported.
Also, please tell me which camera model and firmware version this came from.
This specific camera is one of many that when is turned on drops you to date/time set up screen...so its very possible that this specific camera's clock is set to 2015.
As i said we stopped setting up date/time to some cameras from very beginning and the beginning was like 1-1,5 years ago.So yes date of 2015 is very very possible.
I can't check it out for sure right now. I will be at studio Saturday and check then to be sure.
But what you said and i put in bold is what i suspected from the beginning (after checking romlog with my near to zero knowledge of these things).That maybe this problem isn't actually a crash and no romlog is generated at all.
Camera is Canon A2500 , firmware : 100a , chdk : 1.5.0 4740
EDIT : An easy way to find out if a romlog is generated by the problem is to set date to current date , repeat the process , use chdk romlog thing and see what date is referred in that log.If chdk copies the latest and the romlog still has 2015 in it , then no romlog was generated.But if it has 2016 on it , its a newly generated one.
Gonna do it when i will be at studio.
