Hi Gabochess, I just fixed the manual link.

You might need to do a hard refresh to update the cache (Ctrl+Shift+R)

Version 0.8.1 Released.

https://github.com/petabyt/mlinstall/releases/tag/0.8.1

I've implemented srsa_4c's findings in the mlinstall EvProc parser.
See https://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=4338.msg147738#msg147738

It includes a basic command parser. It accepts plain text (commands), 
strings (between quotes), and numbers (base 10 and hex).

Example:
FooBar "Hello, World"
foo_bar 123 0x123

Use at your own risk.

critix, some things I noticed:
- In liveview, trash button opens ML, and menus "glitch" every 3 seconds
- Was "fps override" lowercase before? Camera crashes when I enter liveview with it

temperature, lv focal length, and custom white balance are working good.
mltetris.mo and silent.mo seem to be working fine.
Nice work.

Could you send a screenshot?
Try EOSCard. If that doesn't work, then you probably want to talk with critix.

critix The link doesn't seem to work. The bitbucket one your posted on the Discord room works, so I'll put my findings here:

One strange thing:
- Enter menu
- Press Q on "Close register log"
- Can't use arrows to navigate menus (a popup should be shown?)
- Press Q again, can navigate menus

Other than than it seems to be working well. Nice job.

I was going to do a fresh install on my camera and decided to make an installation guide.

I've enabled editing for anybody, so feel free to make any edits. Eventually I may add it into the ML wiki.

Thanks for letting me know names_are_hard, fixed.

Also, note that the mcufont backend is entirely experimental and disabled by default.
I'm 100% open to removing it in favor of something else.

I had just used the python3 unidecode package to fix the characters.
It looks like they have a reason for this, see https://pypi.org/project/Unidecode/ section "German umlauts are transliterated incorrectly"

For now, I'm think I'm just going to leave them as regular ASCII.
Here's the translated Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12txrdFAE401KNcIKUeSYorWbLPK-fVQg9ILj_HRBrME/edit

It might be possible to get my alternative font rendering backend test to work with German characters (see https://github.com/petabyt/mlt/tree/mcufont).
It doesn't seem to show them out of the box, but the Spanish accent characters work:



It could also possibly be used to show Chinese characters too.

Not right now, but If I remember correctly, I was able to get some custom Unicode characters working

With a few Python scripts and Google Docs Translate, I was easily able to get several different languages working with MLT.
https://github.com/petabyt/mlt/releases/tag/0.1-more

These were done entirely by Google translate and received hardly any manual review, so feel free to suggest any changes.

Eventually, it may not be a bad idea to pack all languages into a single module. (each language is only 30-40kb)

Version 0.7 released.

https://github.com/petabyt/mlinstall/releases/tag/0.7

- Added an untested activator for 0x9052 as per Ant123's findings (https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=26162.msg236146#msg236146)
Still not sure what models require it, so it's just a button for now.

- Added a "module store"
I thought this would be a cool idea. You can plug the SD card into your computer and install modules, just like an app store on a smartphone. Here's a demonstration: https://diode.zone/w/4u1GYt88LP5h9t53C1fWNE

Sure. Although I would think that the MANUAL.txt in the zip file and the note in the release description would be enough...

Thanks for testing!

I assume you saw https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=17969.msg233693#msg233693 ?
Not sure if you are doing it incorrectly or it doesn't work on your model for some reason.

Also, It may eventually be ported to version 1.2.0.
(https://bitbucket.org/ccritix/magic-lantern-git/src/0dc9b73b37356575460576525de2ca2f8e3e0900/platform/1300D.120/?at=branches%2F1300D?)

Yeah, whenever a string is changed, MLT won't change anything. I've had some ideas
on how I could make it less frequent, but it's definitely an unavoidable issue. Honestly, having
a few untranslated strings here and there doesn't seem like it would be that bad.

Do you have any idea on how often a menu string is changed?

> Longer term it might be better to have this in the main code, not a module?
So that would require changing all of the menus? Sounds like a ton of work.

I assumed you copied the `mlt_es` file into the ML folder and renamed it as `es`?
Although If the menus were empty, then it's a bug, since it shouldn't do
anything if there is no file. Could you possibly send me a ROM dump for debugging?

A while ago I made a proof of concept patch for a Spanish translation of Magic Lantern.
Today I converted it to a module that should work on all versions of ML.

Here it is: https://github.com/petabyt/mlt

Of course, it's very unfinished and unpolished, but I think this could be useful.

Experiment for a "one click install": https://diode.zone/w/5BDpMTeBhgZ4mEVXu6QRQj
Plug in camera + SD card, and click a button to fully install Magic Lantern.

PTP is used to detect model/firmware version, and the correct Magic Lantern build
is unzipped into the SD card. The bootdisk flag and the card flags are written as well.

Also see the Github issue: https://github.com/petabyt/mlinstall/issues/2

This is just a proof-of-concept to see if it would work. It won't be released any time soon, if
it is released at all. Feedback/ideas for this are welcome.

Hi all, for some reason I never saw these messages.

Solution for the Windows libusb issue: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=26162.msg236405#msg236405

I had mentioned using Zadig in an earlier release, but I thought the new codebase I
used (ptpcam) fixed this issue (I forgot I had libusb installed in my VM), and never gave it much thought after that.

General Development / Re: Magic Lantern USB Installation Tools

« on: August 09, 2021, 03:44:41 AM »

Apparently I forgot that I had installed libusb in my Windows 7 testing VM, so
I wasn't aware of this issue.

A quick solution is to download Zadig (https://zadig.akeo.ie/) and replace WinUSB with
libusb-win32. Here's a GIF animation showing exactly what to do:
https://petabyt.github.io/mlinstall/MANUAL#no-ptpusb-device-found

If this doesn't work, please let me know.

I've added a few more features to the app:
- Redo UI with a GTK "notebook"
- Add "Make card scriptable"
- Add "Make card un-scriptable"
- Add credits and license
- Add button hints
- Better error messages
