Hello and welcome.

The script is loaded, you can see its name in the script menu.

Exit the menu and still in ALT mode fully press the shutter button.

If there is nothing to set at the bottom of the screen, its most likely because the script has not defined anything that can be set. If it had, you would see something like this at the start of the script

Code: [Select]

@param a Delay 1st Shot
@default a 0

Please post your script here as an attachment if you need more help.

I loaded the second script on my camera and the values show up at the bottom of the script menu correctly. So your code is fine.

What camera do you have ? Should we assume an IXUS65 based on your user name ?

Does the script run when you press the shutter in <ALT> mode ?

Here's some things to read if your only info about CHDK comes from youtube :
