OSD on and off with DISP

It would be nice if OSD items could optionally be turned on and off along with the Canon on-screen data by toggling DISP.

Currently, OSD items are turned on and off through a menu.
I would like to see an additional option there: "toggle with DISP"
This would show the OSD items when the display is in full-data mode. It would hide the OSD items, along with the Canon on-screen data, when the display is in no-icon mode, for an unobscured view of the image. The OSD items would toggle with DISP in the same way as the Canon built-in OSD when shooting (not in <alt> mode). The current behavior could remain as the default for those who prefer it.

Thanks,

bdo

Just for information: there's also the possibility to toggle the CHDK OSD on/off with a shortcut...

actually this could be implemented for thoses cameras that sport different display modes. should even be fairly simple, IF one can find the memory location for the "display state".

Do you need write access or RO ? If RO, there is propcase 105 for DIGIC III cameras.
RO access should be ok, we can intercept disp key, and forward it to original firmware to change canon display.

no need for interception, as we only need to pair the osd drawing code with a check for this propcase. imo there isnt one for digic II, is there?

Oh you're completely right, "drawing code", didn't think about that :-[

I don't know, not listed and I don't own a digic II. However at the end of PropertyCase - CHDK Wiki it is said that get_parameter_data 54 is display mode. It doesn't work for digic III, but maybe for digic II ?

Made tests with my SD400 (Digic II), #54 is NOT display dependend (always 0), but

  #181: in all camera modes (SD400) 1=Canon OSD off, 0= Canon OSD on, 2=LCD off (as in the wikia)

  #65 & #66: in all camera modes always 2617, changes to 65535 on 3rd Disp state (LCD off) (wikia say "Focus distance" for Digic II ?)

I have to learn how to use the "find" feature of my browser... :'(

So... it only remains to code it now :D
(I am doing something else right now, I can do it in a few days if nobody else wants to do it before)
