Increasing number of variables

Is there any plans to increase the number of user variables in any of the builds? I have some scripts I'd like to write (auto threshold for motion detect etc) but need more than 10 variables. I think one of Fingalo's old builds had a possible 52 but it doesn't seem to have been kept in recent versions.

Hey thanks! Looking at the diff file it seems the speed up of the built-in shooting for motion detection has been applied, correct?

I built the binaries with the included patch applied last night. Just posted them. (Build 33 didn't have the MD-part, 34 has.)
All newer have 52 variables, but only 10 can be defined from menus. In public builds that is. Until now. I guess.

Barney, I think he's saying that most builds can use 52 variables, but only 10 variables can be used with the @param directive. With this new build you can access 26 variables from the "scripting parameters" menu.

Sometimes I'm confusing even in real life. Go figure.

Yep, noticed. :]

And now for something completely different: off-topic.
Did anyone notice that setting focus to hyperfocal distance is sort of broken (in other than Ixuses, I guess) since in changeset 297 due to the new implementation and SHORTCUT_SET_HYPERFOCAL being defined ERASE (in gui.c)? (This is why I first made my patch against 296.) I would like to propose

 #define SHORTCUT_SET_INFINITY        KEY_UP
 #define SHORTCUT_SET_HYPERFOCAL      KEY_DOWN

for all cameras.

I don't want to go and change trunk very radically. :]
Or maybe I should just do it. And put in that SCRIPT_NUM_PARAMS 26 while I'm at it. ;)
(Hey, on-topic again!)
