I’m using dt 2.6.0 on Win7 and I can’t get it to see my camera.
I have a Canon 7D and Canon 400D. I can’t find anyway to unmount the cameras but I have used Zadig to install the winusb drivers. But still, dt doesn’t see my camera.
I tried with DslrDashboard, which also requires winusb, and it worked fine.
Yes, motivate some more Windows developers. This is work and nothing come from free. At the moment we have a single dev on Windows, not nice when we see some many people using dt on this platform.
That’s true. Currently I am on a dualboot with Ubuntu and Windows 7. The amount of using Windows is decreasing but it will still get its time until I got rid of that…
I did look at digiCamControl but I like my software to be light on OS dependencies, preferably portable. digiCamControl uses the net framework so it’s not really for me.
Also, the real point of using darktable is that you can see a preview of the actual default processing you’re going to use. If not for this I may as well use canons eos utility or even just plug the camera into a tv.
I thought it might be worth mentioning the session options tab in the settings. I found it a little quirky.
If you want to add paths then you need to use the ‘/’ forward slash (linux style) rather than the ‘\’ backslash (windows style).
You need to start the sub-directory with a ‘/’ forward slash otherwise the $(YEAR) variable is not expanded and the sub-directory string is concatenated to the base directory.
They’re set to different values, depending on the operating system. Environment variables are the common mechanism across all OSs I know, so that lets the various package maintainers set them for their OS’s particulars.
If darktable were just a Windows program, having the app set them would be feasible. darktable started as a Linux application, and was only recently ported to Windows, and the developers now have to code so it works in all these places.
I’m sure conditional code and strings are bread and butter for a project like this. And in this case I’d have thought it’d be very straight forward and simple.
Not that it matters, of course. It was just an idea…
