Yes, definitely the best! Modular designs, easy to repair (and very well documented via the Hardware Maintenance Manuals), extremely compatible with Linux, very reliable. I also happen to like their timeless design where function dictates form (no useless trim or colored plastics). :)

It looks like you'll need to set some things up in the BIOS to allow the LIRC to access the IR port, and even after that, the range might be restricted to less than half a meter, but it looks like it will work...

Excellent, thank you. I'll have a go at this during the weekend.

Yes, "Shutter" widget supports Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Olympus cameras.

Wow, thanks a lot for the "Remote flash" feature!! :-)

Hey, if you don't mind, please let me know if the remote flash works correctly for you; I wasn't sure how long the flash needs to be on, or whether it needs to pause to wait for the remote camera to open its shutter. Thanks!

It works! I've done two rapid tests. In a room with fluorescent lamp. One with ISO 100, f3.5 and 2 seconds exposure. The other with ISO 100, f3.5 too and 0,8 second exposure. Two pictures each, one picture with the remote flash option and one without it. You can see my hand in these pictures heh, these are with 2 seconds exposure.

I think this can be very useful in some situations as fill light or secondary light for Nature morte - Still life, portraits... even being the LED flash a bit weak.
Thanks again!

It can also be found in the extras-devel repository, if you're willing to enable that repository in your application manager. :)

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 
A small update is now on its way up to extras-devel. Version 1.1.25 includes a couple of UI updates: I've broken the air conditioner panels into a "Standard AC" set and a "Stateful AC" set; the two methods of interacting with air conditioners are so different, they really do deserve to be treated as entirely separate sets of interfaces. Also, the carrier frequency and duty cycle controls have been moved out of "Advanced Settings" and into the Preferences window (and I've removed the Advanced Settings panel entirely).

I've also reset the default duty cycle back to 33%. The vast majority of remote controls use that duty cycle, and I don't think having it set to 50% was of any benefit. (But if you do find problems with this setting, please let me know!)

Also in this update, a first pass at keysets for Apex, General Electric, Majestic, and Minolta; and more keysets for Emerson, Insignia, and Strong.

I've also now set up a Github account for Pierogi. For some reason, I've lost the ability to push files into the Maemo Garage repository; I've tried just about everything I can think of, but constantly get the same error... In any case, the files in the Garage are now months out of date. You can view the latest Pierogi source code by going to:

https://github.com/jpietrzak8/Pierogi

As always, beware of bugs! Thanks.
