Do we still need to get the correct lirc config file as per instructions? (i own a canon xsi). Or have the config files for all the manfufacturers been included?
Many thanks for this app. I've installed it from repos and tried with Pentax k100d. Everything works except bulb. When I press "bulb on", it just take photo.

Have you set the camera itself in Bulb mode?
Bulb shooting is available when using the remote control shooting mode. The shutter remains open as long as the optional remote control's shutter release button is held down.
This is my first Maemo application, so be gentle if I do something wrong and in the same reason, every good tip and hint how to continue from this point is gladly taken
I got the basic idea for this application, when I tested Shutter, it was good, but it left me missing some options (most important thing was Bulb). So I decide to do some coding practice and create my own, with those missed options included. Like Shutter, this one is written in Python and uses Lirc to handle infrared. UI is currently in GTK, but I think I will change it in Qt in somewhere in the future (when the main functionality is ready, and pr1.2 is out). Currently pyKake only works as Olympus RM-1 but in future I will add support for other remotes to (at least from Canon, Nikon and Pentax). But more about this in the future (in next release I hope and if everything goes like I hope, it will be a first deb). The Name pyKake comes from two words py=python and Kake is a Finnish nickname for remote.
Update:
Changes: New windowed UI. Added support for Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Pentax. Bulb timer. And installable from Extras-devel.
PyKake is now in Extras-devel. So you can install and use (and test it) in you device at your own risk. It should work correcly, so there shouldn't be any risk to brick your N900, but it is still in development (so I don't give any guarantee for it). So here's the warnings: Short manual
Install pyKake from the Extras-devel and you find it from application menu.
In the first start there should be a Settings dialog open at the begining. Select your camera and set time interval of notify beebs in Bulb mode in what you want it to be and click Save (you can also change settings at any time, from main menu under the "Settings" selection).
Program should work right after the install, but if it won't, you maybe had to restart the device (and this means there is some problems with reloading lirc, so please note me). After the Settings dialog you will see the main window, here you can select the mode to use:
If there is problems in program, or something else, you can write it up to this thread or send me an email. And thank you for your interest
