Code: [Select]
return (GetFreeCardSpaceKb()/GetTotalCardSpaceKb())*100;

return GetFreeCardSpaceKb()/GetTotalCardSpaceKb()*100;
(smaller unsigned integer)/(larger unsigned integer)*100
Evaluated from left to right:
(smaller unsigned integer)/(larger unsigned integer) = 0
0 * 100 = 0
Try it and see.

return (int)((double)(GetFreeCardSpaceKb()/(double)GetTotalCardSpaceKb())*100);

The ARM CPU in our cameras has no floating point hardware, and most cameras have no hardware support for division either.
So,
floating point -> very slow
integer division -> slow
bit shift, multiplication -> ok.
The calculation in question is performed at least a dozen times per second and its precision is not critical: using integers allows for a tiny bit less CPU utilization.

FWIW, FP isn't THAT slow (https://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=12451.msg123421#msg123421), I wouldn't hesitate to use it here if required, but I completely agree with sticking to integer when it isn't

I committed the above patch. Can you check whether it fixes the free space display?

I just started up 1.5/5296 and the bar looks as expected now, thank you.
it makes glancing at the cam good enough to check for space.

i have stopped the cam today (14 dec) when the bar was at around 15% it turned red, so i assume this fix is perfect.
