Hi, I see errors on Aperture Value in ML Menu 7D alpha 2!

Thanks ML for great 7D alpha2 and thanks to correct it

[With what free software we can save as a little kB bmp, and which is compatible with the ML menu?]

How make files cropmark.bmp?
I made it, but it have 1,4 Mb, instead of 7 Kb of origin ML. Finally I finish to create a littke bmp 7kB with XnView (Great software photo free), but once selected in the menu ML,it does not display known the LCD screen, as if it was transparent.

Thank you Den JS,

Hi all,
I follow this guide but it doesn't work for me, why ?

(http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7752.0)
Installing ML on a 7D using a Mac
1. Preparation
a. Download a ready-made Mac-installation kit from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/prhvvukktwn3wfz/7D.zip (Thanks, DenJS!)
b. Unzip the file if it isn't already unzipped. You should now have a folder called 7D, containing the following files:
- booton.fir – patched firmware which will enable boot flag in your camera
- bootoff.fir – patched firmware which will disable boot flag
- 7D000203.FIR – original firmware 2.0.3
- MacBoot.class – java application wich help you make your CF card bootable
- run.command – shell script to run java app properly.
- To root CF card – a folder containing the ML-build.

2. Enable the bootflag in your camera:
a. Take an empty CF-card, put in in a card-reader connected to your Mac and copy the booton.fir-file to it.
b. Put the CF-card in your camera and turn the camera on.
c. Open the menu, go to the 3rd yellow tab with the wrench-icon and choose the last option: "Firmware version 2.0.3"
d. Choose "Update firmware" and wait a few seconds. The firmware-update-program will start and after a few seconds you'll return to a black screen.
e. Now turn off you camera and eject the CF-card.
f. Remove the booton.fir-file from the CF-card.
g. Re-install the 2.0.3-firmware: follow the same steps as before, now with the 7D000203.FIR-file.

3. Create a bootable MagicLantern-card:
a. Put the CF-card in the card-reader.
b. Start the MacBoot-program, by double-clicking on the run.command. Enter you password if asked.
c. In the MacBoot program, select the size of the CF-card which you inserted and press Reresh.
d. Select Make DSLR-bootable and press Prepare Card.
e. Now copy all files from the folder To root CF card to the root of the CF-card.
f. Insert the CF-card in your camera and power it on.
g. You should hear a beep, indicating that MagicLantern has booted. You're ready to go! Press the trashcan-button on your 7D to enter the ML-menu.

At 3.d. step MacBoot don't creat a DSLR-bootable and said this, why? :

Where is the Canon 7D ML Alpha 2 Firmware download link for Mac please?

 I understand, thank you g3gg0 and Walter! I can't wait to try your installing version! Congratulations for your great research and work!

Thank you very much for your time, your excellent job and your free ML!!! It is my fist time trying to install it (with alpha 1 and alpha 2) on my Canon 7D.
It works but when I am done with my shootings and that I turn off my camera, the next time I want to use my camera and turn it on, the ML program is not there anymore when I press on the delete button. I do not want to I reinstall Canon FirmWare 203 everytime because I am loosing all my 7D settings.
What can I do? Thanks to help me
