with my last commit, i fixed the IME system to interwork cleanly with menu etc.
(see https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/commits/7225666a08fe3bcb39f1bc5e23d71b31736111e8 )
(http://i.imgur.com/0gGI8DM.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/KUSXJEG.png)
the function to be called is:
extern void *ime_base_start (char *caption, char *text, int max_length, int codepage, int charset, t_ime_update_cbr update_cbr, t_ime_done_cbr done_cbr, int x, int y, int w, int h );
if a module wants to have a text enterd by the user, it can now call the ime code like that:
static char text_buffer[100];
IME_UPDATE_FUNC(ime_base_test_update)
{
//bmp_printf(FONT_MED, 30, 90, "ime_base: CBR: <%s>, %d, %d", text, caret_pos, selection_length);
return IME_OK;
}
IME_DONE_FUNC(ime_base_test_done)
{
for(int loops = 0; loops < 50; loops++)
{
bmp_printf(FONT_MED, 30, 120, "ime_base: done: <%s>, %d", text, status);
msleep(100);
}
return IME_OK;
}
static MENU_SELECT_FUNC(ime_base_test)
{
strcpy(text_buffer, "test");
ime_base_start("Enter something:", text_buffer, sizeof(text_buffer), IME_UTF8, IME_CHARSET_ANY, &ime_base_test_update, &ime_base_test_done, 0, 0, 0, 0);
}
the whole thing is running asynchronously. this means you call ime_base_start and that function immediately returns.
it captures all key events and prevents the ML menu to paint.
instead it is showing you a dialog to enter your text.
the specified update CBR (CallBackRoutine) is called periodically with the current string. it should return IME_OK if the string is acceptable.
(as soon its implemented fully, you can check if it is an valid string, e.g. an email address etc and return a value != IME_OK to grey out the OK button)
when the user selects OK or Cancel, the done CBR is called with the string and the status IME_OK or IME_CANCEL.
the x, y, w, h parameters are planned to specify the location where the caller code prints the text that is passed via update_cbr.
this way the caller code can care for displaying the text somewhere and the IME just cares for the character selection.
but it is not implemented yet.
the code is still very fragile ;)
i planned to support different charsets, but not sure yet how to implement, or if it is necessary at all.
also the way the characters are displayed and the menu is drawn isnt final yet.
i think i should use canon fonts as they look better.
also the "DEL" function cuts the string at the deleted character. that can be fixed easily by using strncpy.
please test that code and improve it where it needs improvement.
Update (17.08.14)
ime_base (https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/view/ML%20Modules/job/ime_base/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/modules/ime_base/ime_base.mo)
ime_rot (https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/view/ML%20Modules/job/ime_rot/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/modules/ime_rot/ime_rot.mo)
ime_std (https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/view/ML%20Modules/job/ime_std/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/modules/ime_std/ime_std.mo)
you can place both ime_std and ime_rot in your module dir, or one of them - which ever you prefer.
ime_base is always needed for both
Nice,
Well done g3gg0 :)
I already have an idea for when will have some sort of scripting module... :P
It would be nice to have the possibility to edit and change some script value directly on-camera from the file_viewer module.
This is really cool g3gg0!
You gave me this idea to speed up typing:
Good old multi-tap from the mobile phone days... ? ::)
(http://s22.postimg.org/fgsrv9p81/multi_tap.png)
But that would be 60D / 6D only because of the 8-way dial...
Dreaming on ...
(http://s23.postimg.org/fwqk1qngb/5_D3_multi_tap.png)[edit](http://s17.postimg.org/bqdanxefz/5_D3_multi_tap_2.png)
Very good ideas.
I have another one. Its based on the audi navigation input system.
Will post a photo when i am at home
like this:
(http://upload.g3gg0.de/pub_files/ff37289f824c2f9d5b117aa379ecd840/input.jpg)
A nice input method at last.
Nice! I like the audi idea.
Ok, i am a bit clueless about possible usages of this implementation.
Suggestions? :D
Nice job, g3gg0, and i like all your ideas about making it work.
One usage off the top of my head: rename files in file manager.
use cases:
- file manager file and folder renaming
- enter direct numbers in menu instead of scrolling (e.g. timelapse, number of frames, fps, ...)
- customize e.g. canon file prefixes MOV_, IMG_, etc
- editing files
- for modules that add "shooting session" infos to a group of files (like "wedding sandra, church" and "wedding sandra, party" or "shoot #2 Customer #53")

that can be done with a text editor module.
it can integrate into file_man by registering as file handler.
so it should be possible without touching any of the existing modules. :)
If I remember correctly CHDK already have something maybe it can't be too difficult to port it :)
porting is harder than implementing on your own as we do not use the same or similar APIs.

Ooo! Maybe that will help when I (eventually) find someone nice enough to help me with my feature idea ;)

Niiiice 8)
yep that input system is made for such things.
500D :

does it work well on 500D?
can you navigate both in the text box where your entered text is and in the character selection box?
Maybe a prefix for filenames or embedded reelnameprefix in mov files?
already said that this is an use case ;)

can be done with this code in the done cbr:
char buf[8];
memset(buf, 0x00, sizeof(buf));
strncpy(buf, text, sizeof(buf));
prop_request_change(PROP_FILE_PREFIX, buf, 8);
As we say in danish: the first place you'll go blind is the eyes 8)
What about prefix in embedded reel names?

When do you think we will be able to test out your IME (TEXT INPUT), will it be a module or incorporated in a new build?
it is already working and in the source tree.
just compile it and you can test.

Forgive my Ignorance, but can you break that down a little more info on the source tree and how do I compile it to the build.
just compile the source from https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern
and compile the modules ime_base, ime_std and ime_rot in modules directory.
nothing special, standard procedure when building ML from source.
(see http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=991.0 if you are not aware how to do)
btw - when pressing Q, the cursor will jump to the "OK" button.
at least in ime_rot, will add this to ime_std later tonight.
Do not check the code, bitbucket does not work. :o
edit :
ok now works

https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/pull-request/183/filepref-module
My test with ime_rot on 7D
-Configure method: Don't do nothing
-All chars: Allows me only to wright 8 characters
-Alpha : Infinite input, will pass the border of the GUI (no space, no files with space allowed?)
-Numeric: Infinite input
-Alphanumeric: Infinite input. Only show letters, no numbers
-Punctuation: Infinite input. The ? and ; don't show up, it makes one empty space.
-Math: Infinite input
-File: Allows me only to wright 8 characters. The characters show up in red color.
Q button
-Cancel just make you return to the main screen of ime. If i input something then make cancel it will return to the main screen but the input i have made will stay there, if i start to input again.
-Delete option don't work
-Ok option or Cancel option, if i press one time and wait for a few seconds it work, makes me to return to the main screen of ime. But if i press the button 2 times it will stuck the image of ime with the main ML screen. Need to shut down the camera and connect again.
-Wend i shut down the camera, if im in the ime screen, the screen of ime will stay on and the routine of cleaning sensor will show up above the ime screen and after done the cleaning sensor thing everything will go off, as should be.
built for latest module interface.
updated download link.
Sorry, I may be missing something here. What is the purpose of this module?

to allow the user to input text. This module does nothing on its own really. It's meant to be used by other modules that need to receive text input.
Thanks. Do we know what modules it interacts with or visa versa?

IDK, you can check:
$ grep -R "ime_base_start" magic-lantern/modules/
got an orange message when trying to load ime_base says - "v4.0, expect v5.0"
specs: 600d with latest build 2014.mar06
where can i find version 5?
I have gotten this error too.
updated main post.

updated main post.
Thanks,
where to download from? and does it work with 5d3 1.2.3?
Cheers
David
well check the main post - there are download links....
Updated, works great! Thank you!
Can it be used to change mlv file names?
Sorry for the noobish question (I'm not too clued up on compiling things).
I've downloaded the latest version of this module from the first post (the modules under "Update (12.08.13)")
Trying to get it to work on a 5D III 1.2.3 with the latest nightly (magiclantern-Nightly.2014Aug07.5D3123)
Getting "Wrong Version (v5.0 expected v6.0)
Can anyone point me in the direction of a version of this module that will work on this version of ML? It'd be awesome to add text information to the raw clips :)

i updated the modules, can you try if they work?
IME_ROT has some issues on 7D, nothing is displayed at all until I scroll far enough clockwise to select "H" then I can see the rest of the characters, scrolling counterclockwise makes everything disappear again when I reach "G" so "A-G" can be selected, but I have to do it blind by counting. also, when I press "Q" and scroll counterclockwise the same disappearing behavior is exhibited.
IME_STD seems to work fine.
***UPDATE***
I compiled it myself and it seems to work fine.... don't know if the problem is with the pre-built module you posted in this thread, or if it was just a fluke, but compiled from main repository is working well, I really like this BTW!

I notoiced the same behaviour for a 5D3.113 together with the last nightly build. Would it be possible for you to recompile this module for a 5D3? Thanks in advance.
updated, can you try?
It now works perfectly. Thamks a lot.
So there are still no IME modules in current nightly builds?
It really would be useful to be able to tag files for an upcoming shoot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am not able to compile this stuff myself so a link to the would be great.
Cheers,
QuoteI am not able to compile this stuff myself so a link to the would be great.
No need to compile, just download the modules from the 1st post and place it in the "modules" folder of your card et voilà !
Those links are invalid now.
Someone able to share those modules?
Links no longer work...
they do ;)
