Using build 1.1.0-2692 (April 9, 2013) on an SX130 I occasionally get duplicate file names. After shooting a series of images, downloading and then deleting them off the card, when I start another series of images the files names will be duplicated from the first series. The images are deleted while the card is in the card reader which was used for downloading, and not by the camera (or via CHDK's file browser).
I've not experience this behavior with earlier builds. The duplicate file naming occurs maybe 50% of the time (and so is a hassle to deal with). I can find no pattern to when this issue will occur, it appears random. Thank you.
A few questions.
- Are you shooting in RAW/DNG or JPEG only? Are JPEG numbers (also) duplicated?
- In addition to the numbering problem, does it happen sometimes that the camera "forgets" your last shooting settings (in the Canon menu, stuff like white balance, ISO, etc.)?
- Is the camera working OK when using a card without CHDK?
- If the symptoms are related to that new CHDK build, can you name the last version that worked OK? Can you confirm that the camera works normal again when using a card with the previously used CHDK build?
Try getting a romlog (miscellaneous stuff -> debug parameters -> save ROM crash log), and attach it here if you can get one.
