I can test it on the SX110 when you're ready. At present, gray icons appear blue and if I enter into Canon menu mode, the colors are completely different.

Yes I am slowly appreciating the power you offer with your implementation. For example I have envisioned something like:
shoot -tv=1/128 -av=5.6 -sv=20; transfer_file
One of the main reasons apart from enhanced CCD low-light technology to upgrade my instrument is to improve file transfer time. Of course doing it according to the example does automate the process, however, because two transfers are needed (save to SD, then transfer and save to PC), the fast USB 2.0 file transfer capability of the newer PowerShots is being taken full advantage of. Because RemoteCapture direct transfer is blazingly fast, I have a sense that writing to SD is notably slower than transferring the image data directly to PC. So if implemented (especially for the case of those large RAW files), CHDKPTP file transfer performance can be at least as good as RemoteCapture.
In my case, 90% of shots are JPGs, while the remainder are RAW. I would expect too, that the majority of photographers desiring the extensibility CHDKPTP+CHDK offers likely use JPGs. Thus the problematic issue would be how to handle the Canon JPGs w/o an SD write. I suppose because Canon firmware detects RemoteCapture it puts itself in the direct file transfer mode, and that may be inaccessible to CHDK. I think on account of that it might very difficult or impossible to do. Your thoughts?
Quote "As I mentioned earlier, srsa_4c is working on capturing direct over USB. "
That would be great, beginning with RAW files I understand. I know it's not trivial and I am very willing help in the test scenario.
I will be testing your new build today. Please be patient.
