Are you using a download manager? I know Free Download Manager has problems with zShare.

Hi!

Could someone please try the attached binaries in their cam ?

That version uses the Lock/Unlock mainpower command.
On my cam the unlock makes the cam hang.
But my cam is a bit broken, it was damaged by water once and
after cleaning it up the power button only works for switching it on and not for off.

So please put the files from the attachment on a sd card and load it:
then wait 2s. push alt. wait 1s. push alt again

what happens ?
on my cam it just hangs and stops showing the chdk menu.

please report!
thanks

No, no download manager. I've tried with various browsers on various platforms and can't get it to work with any of them (including IE on XP). Any chance someone can upload this one to some other site?

Tried it and the camera just switches itself off as soon as I switch it on.

Hangs for me when I press Alt the second time or when I attempt to run a script.

i fixed some more issues
[snip]

On the 08/02 version, the keys work much better now. Sometimes, a single press will scroll up or down 2 lines instead of one. Not a big deal, though.

I'm still having some problems compiling this build. I had to replace the Tools folder with Tools from the SD400 release to get it to find some stdio functions in gensig.c. I'm not sure how I got the previous version to compile - maybe gensig.o was there already and did not need to be built.

I noticed that some scripts will cause the camera to lock up. For example, this script will hang the camera:

Code: [Select]

@title Test Script
rem Set EV to -1/3
set_prop 25 (-32)
set_prop 26 (-32)
end

However, this script will work (notice the 'sleep'):

Code: [Select]

@title Test Script
rem Set EV to -1/3
set_prop 25 (-32)
set_prop 26 (-32)
sleep 1000
end

Interesting...
I have a new version where Lock/Unlock Mainpower work.

Same issue like the kbd problem: when the original kbd task executes the unlockmainpower the cam crashes.
Now i moved kbd_enter/leave script_start/stop to the second kbd task and now it works.
This also seem to fix the issue with this sleep at the end of the script. with the new code the first version works as well.

Please test the new binaries (see attachment)

That version works on the several scripts I have tried.

One thing I noticed intermittently is that sometimes while going through the CHDK menus, the entire CHDK overlay erases itself. It's still running the menu code, but there is no menu shown, no OSD, etc. Exiting and re-entering menu mode makes things look OK again.
