Hi, i saw the discussion on the forum of the fcamera garage and it sounded like your fcamera++ included a timer feature. Is this available in the current package? Unless i have missed something, there's no other way to get a basic timer feature for the N900 camera, and with the tripod i just received, it would really be handy.

that's what it does. It just extends fcamera with timer and recurrent shot functions. You know, to make timelapse movies.

Thanks. I've got the power kernel installed so i'll have to wait to try your modifications. It wasn't until i had fcamera installed that i realized there's (still) no timer functionality. D'oh.
I'm guessing the new fcamera version doesn't break the changes too much... Have you got a patch for the changes you made? If you haven't time to update it i'll take a look at getting it into the repo as fcamera++ so these really useful additional features can reach more people.

alright guys, here's a .deb with my version of fcamera. It's basically the same as the original with one extra control for the number of photos and delay between them.
This FcameraTL would deserve its own discussion thread so ppl would find it. Fcam really needs time lapse feature.

The delay slider goes from 0 to 60 in units that can be seconds or minutes depending on what you choose in the the settings screen (swipe up). See my previous post for some screenshots.
Installation is as usual ("dpkg -i <deb file>" as root). I am not sure if the deb takes care of the dependencies but I guess it does.
Please put it in extra-testing. Do you have an updated version?
Hello all. Yes, I plan to put it in the repositories. The only thing is I don't know exactly how that works but I'll figure it out.
It has taken a while for me to get back to this, mostly because of real life issues, but I'm back on that horse now. Expect an updated release soon.
I'm thinking of using the old timelapse garage account to continue development on this version of Fcamera, so that I can get it up faster. As soon as I do submit it to extras-devel, I'll create a new [Announce] thread for it.
More soon...
