i am really growing tired of microfunguy and his "version xyz of sdm will have this or DOES have this and that feature" talk (besides, just release this 1.76!). so SDM does not mean STEREO DATA MAKER anymore? so SDM is a "better" chdk now? are you trying to say that? are we in competition now? you act like someone trying to sell Pepsi in a Coca-Cola Fan-forum. I don't understand your motivation. You cherry-pick the best features in chdk, integrate these in your PERSONAL builds (while occasionally ironing out bugs [that are present in chdk], but not reporting these back), and not giving back. we offer you and everybody to participate in the development of chdk, we have a subversion (which makes it VERY easy for you cherry picking the best features, through the use of diffs etc, extensive changelog etc) repository, a bugtracker and a huge forum which you can use (and certainly DO use) to get people's ideas to improve/fix chdk (and sdm of course). on the other hand, you do NOT provide diffs, instead you provide a tiny changelog and strange zip with the source (which we had to force you to do, remember?) once in a while. why don't we chdk devs come to the SDM yahoo forum and brag about CHDK and all the features SDM does not have? well, because it would be ridiculous, because after all, this is open source and we are NOT in competition. especially because up to now everybody thought SDM specialises in Stereo Photography. if you try to provide the better chdk - just outright say so, but dont come here advertising SDM when you dont give anything back (well, not on purpose i mean, because sometimes we also "steal" features from SDM, which is not easy, as you dont provide diffs or daily snapshots).
i dont really wanna start this whole discussion again, i just needed to vent some steam about this issue. and i don't care if am alone with this opinion (which i doubt btw). this is my opinion from chdk users point of, from forum users point of view and from CHDK developers point of view.
