Hi,

as the title says, is there a way to get the available free memory on the sd card in use?
Using Lua.

Yes, get_free_disk_space() returns free disk space in kiB. I'm not 100% certain, but it will probably return an incorrect number if you have more than 4 GiB free.

Thanks,

Code: [Select]

print(get_free_disk_space() / (1024 * 1024)); prints 14; that's must be ~14GB free space.

Is there some documentation that lists such functions?

Now I need some function to copy the last picture that was taken.
If it's possible.

If something isn't documented properly or at all, in the end it's the source that matters (hint: there's a FUNC() macro in the end of luascript.c for each command CHDK adds to Lua):

It's possible to copy files using Lua i/o functions. CHDK/SCRIPTS/TEST/llibtst.lua and http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,3291.msg34010.html#msg34010 should get you started with that and if my memory serves the latter may also show you how to find the latest file.
