It is my understanding (limited) that the chdk is a hack of the canon powershot cameras. I have recently read snippets here and there that future canons won't have a chdk release.
I am presuming that this is because canon has closed these weeknesses in their cameras from being hacked? Is this true?
Why not, then, consolidate and trim the work already done, by freezing ports to addtional camera models, by making DNG the default CHDK RAW format, by pruning less useful components such as games, by trying to improve the focusing on supported compacts, by dividing CHDK into user and advanced levels (all the shutter speed overrides for example to be advanced, ie unused by the average user) and so on.
because you are never going to get everyone to agree what is "needed" and "advanced" and so on
Oh, you were expecting someone else to do it ? Right then.
Features are generally added because someone who wanted the feature implemented it, not because it would make CHDK more popular with the general public. If you want this feature, you are welcome to dig into the code.
CHDK polls give an indication.
Tell me how to clear out unwanted bits from the source, games- overrides-file viewer- and I shall re-compile (the limit of my developer knowledge) accordingly.
That is a self-defeating attitude to the Feature Requests subforum, since if contributors could do what you suggest, they would do as you suggest- and CHDK is used by the general public- including yours truly- and not just developers..
SDM shows they way to go
Who are the current developers for CHDK ?
