Countdown Intervalometer v1.1
An intervalometer script that will take a specific number of photos.
In the CHDK Script menu there are two parameters you can change. The first is Interval in Sec and the second is Number of Shots.
If the Number of Shots is set to zero the intervalometer switches from a countdown intervalometer mode over to a perpetual intervalometer mode that will continue to take photos until your memory card is full or your camera's battery runs out of power.
The script doesn't use any propcase values or camera specific settings so it should work with any camera that can run CHDK.

P.S. This is the first time I have tried posting a message with a youtube link. For some reason, when I just write in the URL for a youtube video, the youtube player is embeded twice in the message. Does anyone know how to fix this?
