Continuing here, since it's a CHDK-side problem.
First chunk, but last=true?
This sounds like it could match multiple invocations of filewrite, where the first "session" only has one chunk.
It seems you're right. Fwt data blocks below, sampled in filewrite_main_hook(), a3200

The trick is that the first chunk starts with garbage, the exif block will be written there - in the final fwt invocation for that file.

I'm not sure yet how to handle this...

Right now we don't have a consistent way to tell if a port supports canon raw, or if it is enabled. We'd also need a way of selecting Canon raw for remote shoot, while running through the same code jpeg.
'Native RAW support' will probably be a define, there are at least 2 propcases that have to do with native raw / raw+jpeg selection.

Proposed fix for cameras with multipass JPEG writes. Affected cameras are probably:
a490, a495, ixus1000, sx40, g12, ixus310, sx220, sx230, s90, sx30, ixus230, a2200, g1x, ixus200, a3200 (the list only includes models which already have filewritetask support).
The patch only includes support for a3200, a490, a495 at the moment, I'll probably do the rest too.
For affected cameras, 'fwt_data_struct' will have an additional member, 'oflags'. 'oflags' is the second argument to open (fwt_open), so it isn't hard to recognize.

Comments on the patch are welcome.

fwt_multipass_support patch tested on A495, it works!! Thanks.
Maybe oflags could be renamed as open_flags?

Here's an a490 100f build for jpq5588

The patch makes sense to me. It seems like it might be possible to clean up the ifdef code a bit so there is less duplicated code. It might also be clearer to have CAM_FILEWRITETASK_SEEKS automatically define multipass, so the common parts only check one ifdef.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

I'm still getting partial JPEGs occasionally, it's either an unhandled saving pattern or a bug...  :(

Will do this in the next patch.

It was a bug. New (still incomplete) patch is attached, along with a new test build for that camera.

edit:
Turns out, there's still something wrong. Last chunk is not recognized when the cam is set to continuous mode...


late edit:
test build removed

It looks like this can't be solved easily. The code is working when in single shot mode. In continuous mode, there is simply nothing in fwt_data_struct that would indicate whether there will be further fwt invocations for a given file. Therefore, the current code always expects another invocation and causes every rs attempt to fail (and makes the cam lock up afterwards sometimes due to unexpected behaviour in filewritetask)*.
"Solutions"
- fail every rs attempt in continuous mode for these cams
- add code and fw hooks to better deal with the issue (this could end up pretty hacky)
- rewrite the code to mirror filesystem operations (ouch)

Any thoughts on how to proceed?

edit:
* that's a different issue, the cause is not the CHDK fwt modification

Thanks for working on this.

Better than nothing I guess, but unfortunate, because rs in continuous is actually pretty useful for a some applications.

Not sure what this entails? An example of what it looks like when it fails might be helpful.

Does that even help if we don't know when it's done? Maybe I'm not understand the the suggestion.

Other ideas:
Is the total size available somewhere else in memory so we can check if we are done? Or does seeking mess this up?
Could we use a timeout to signal the last chunk? If we are waiting for a jpeg, what is the max time between one chunk completing and the next being available? It seems like it could potentially be pretty short.
Reverse engineer the code that sends the chunks, there must be some loop or variable that knows when it's done.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

fwt doesn't seek in this camera generation. It opens and closes the file multiple times (either in append or in overwrite mode) when needed.

As far as I know, fwt doesn't have information about the total file size. It may exist somewhere else, didn't try to check yet...

A timeout was one of my ideas that I referred to as "hacky". Other "hacks" include signaling from the raw hook.
I don't yet know how the "fix" for this issue should look.

I gave up on understanding "filescheduletask", it looks much more difficult than the filewritetask code.
