I dissassembled 137 stubs entries tonight and compared them to a reference port I trust (IXUS120-SD940-1.03c). Found 23 questionable entries for the 1.00f port.
So at this point, I am sorry to say that I am done working on the A495 port for the 1.00e or 1.00d. At least for now. I'm willing to port a working version to a different camera but this is starting to feel like fixing a partially working port.
If somebody can tell me they have the 1.00f version that I posted working and answer some questions about that then I will continue. But for now I am out of time.
Sorry and my apologies to astrosalva and HankeyPoo for not being able to make this happen right now.
EDIT : As you can tell, I'm frustrated. In a couple of days, I might just go buy an A495 if they go on sale at my local discount store. Trying to fix a port for a camera I don't own is too frustrating.
