ok, crap. LED requires root, and n9bm of course runs as user. thinking about it. ideas?

ok, made a daemon that listens over dbus for led(0), led(255), etc

syntax will be:
###led => set led brightness to ### [0..255]
###ms => delay ### milliseconds
on => 255led synonym
off => 0led synonym


double blink:
on, 10ms, off, 250ms, on, 10ms, off

slow increase over ~5s:
16led, 250ms, 32led, 250ms, 48led, 250ms, 64led, 250ms, 80led, 250ms, 96led, 250ms, 112led, 250ms, 128led, 250ms, 144led, 250ms, 160led, 250ms, 176led, 250ms, 192led, 250ms, 208led, 250ms, 224led, 250ms, 240led, 250ms, 255led, 250ms, 0led

damnit! im done with it, except that i cant get the led-dbus to start as root. got no idea what to do about this.

EDIT: presumably because dbus qt mainloop needs an xsession. switched to gobject

v0.5.5
+ added configurable led patterns for quickSnap
+ added shutter sound to quickSnap, in addition to picture-saved sound
+ added soundfile configs for quickSnap

if you get a chance, please test this. i have no idea if it will work in non-openmode.

EDIT: what i mean specifically is it would be great if someone who doesnt use openmode tested quick-snap and saw that the LED blinks for them. it should blink once approximately at the same time the image is taken {and play the default camera sound at the same time}, and then blink twice quickly when the image is saved {without playing any sound by default}.

to add quickSnap to the lockscreen {vol+ trebleClick}, do this in ~/.config/n9-button-monitor.ini
action=quickSnap(auto),volumeUp,trebleClick,screen Locked

Wont work

oh well, thanks for the test!

can you also test the sound configs?
copy two WAVs to MyDocs called a.wav and b.wav, edit prefs, and add these lines:
quickSnapShutterSound=/home/user/MyDocs/a.wav
quickSnapSaveSound=/home/user/MyDocs/b.wav

then take a quickSnap, you should hear a, then hear b about 5 seconds later

note that LED works fine if you use openmode.
also note that you can start the led daemon manually by running as root:
/opt/n9-button-monitor/led-dbus.py

and that this will almost certainly work on non-openmode.

Add lines
quickSnapShutterSound=/home/user/MyDocs/a.wav
quickSnapSaveSound=/home/user/MyDocs/b.wav

To camera.py or button monitor ini?
