Personally I'd stop at 50 if your combo boxes jumps values in blocks of 50, or at least a multiple of 10

Yeah, I really need to think a little harder about how to manage these settings. Spin-boxes provide a lot of flexibility, but they can be awkward when stepping through large ranges of values.

And yeah, I also noticed that the flash doesn't work when you set the duration very low. The odd thing is, values below 30 are listed as valid in the range data V4L2 is returning to me, so it may be that I can't really trust that data either...

Maybe a nicely worded "you can blind people or cause fits" discliamer dialog box would be a good idea? Only on first use or so you don't have to accept each time?

I did put the label "Experimenter" at the top of the main screen, but yeah, I've blasted my own eyes pretty good a couple of times now playing with this thing...

Also I'd say Lanterne is becoming a "Camera LED Flash Tool" more than a "Experimenter".

Yeah, it does seem to be looking that way, doesn't it?

Thanks!
