[SOLVED] Cannot change the af mode with my code

[Marsu42]

I can change drive, iso, metering, ae just fine - but the camera doesn't want to change the af mode ... any idea why?

Code Select Expand

lens_wait_readytotakepic(64);
new_af_mode = ONE_SHOT;
prop_request_change(PROP_AF_MODE, &new_af_mode, 4);
msleep(10);

OK, I got the wrong len - *that*s why my card is filling up with assert logs :-p

Code Select Expand

ML ASSERT:
PROP_LEN(80000004) correct:2 called:4
at ../../src/property.c:308 (prop_request_change), task tweak_task
lv:0 mode:1

Nope, still nothing - this is annoying, what am I doing wong? This also doesn't work:

Code Select Expand

lens_wait_readytotakepic(64);
new_af_mode = ONE_SHOT;
prop_request_change(PROP_AF_MODE, &new_af_mode, 2);
msleep(10);

what means "does not work" ?

You're out of LV? There is an LV prop and a regular photo mode prop.

Ok, I've got it - the PROP_HANDLER for the af mode didn't get called, it was in a big #ifdef bracket I didn't see - and since no value was saved it never tried to restore it - doh. I guess that's what happens when you work with a shell and a text editor and are used to Visual Studio ... how do you work on ml, do you use an ide?

And yes, I saw that there are lv and non-lv af props, I installed handlers for both and it works fine now.

I used to use pluma on linux... now I use geanie. On windows I guess it would be notepad++ or some other "ide" like soft.

On windows I guess it would be notepad++ or some other "ide" like soft.

I have little time for ml, I just want to implement the things I really desperately want for myself, that's why I though the quick & dirty bash & joe text editor way would be simplest - well, turns out it isn't

Btw: Here's the result of the whole thing, please give feedback, imho the "sticky modes" are really useful for everybody:
