Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 17.03.)
 

nicolai, i got "permission denied" when i typed :
/usr/bin/camera-ui2
after disabling the stock camera

@nicolai the f/F short cut on focus seems to be disabled but the g/G still works

@AgogData
This happens, because you have untared the file on the
MyDocs partitition (which is a FAT partition and doesn't know
anything about user and execution rights)
You have to set the execution bits again:

chmod a+x /usr/bin/camera-ui2

As it is an increment of 1 it is quite subtle. I too had some trouble testing but did best trying to change focus with f/F at around the macro distance. But perhaps there are issues...

I would like an intermediate focus jump but that may not be technically possible.

its awesome nicolai, i'm gonna use it insted of the stock one..but here is my experience :
- after launching it and opening the camera it was like the stock untill i lightly pressed the camera button, the camera-ui2 settings appeared.
- when i switch to video and pressed record it gace me the stand by screen and switched back to the stock camera or at least the camera-ui2 settings were removed.

so this supports front camera now?

Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 17.03.)
 

You *have to* stop the stock camera-ui before launching
this one. They both react on lenscover and focus button press.
They don't work nicely together.
Video recording only.

This version is extremely experimental. Use the keyboard shortcut
r/R to toggle between raw image mode.
When raw image mode is enabled it stores an additional DNG
file with the raw image data.
This is really experimental I am not sure if this DNG
is valid. Some image tags are wrong or missing.

As noted here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...358#post964358
There is a bug in a gstreamer component and therefor
some lines at the image bottom are missing.

Unloading the default camera-ui is what running as root should do. As Nicolai writes, that must happen for you to be successful.

Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 17.03.)
 

Thats what i did :
- dsmetool -k /usr/bin/camera-ui (root)
- /usr/bin/camera-ui2
xterm says its working ----> then i open the menu and choose camera
BUT when i type
- dsmetool -k /usr/bin/camera-ui2 (root)
it says [can't kill or not found, though its working]

so is it a matter of camera-ui not being stopped ?

The DNG develops OK in rawtherapee, ufraw etc. The exif shortcomings are probably tolerable if they prove not to be correctable.

tnx
