instant preview stops on first image created through pressing camera button

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'd like to use this nice app mainly for reviewing images that I shoot using 
the camera directly and without triggering each photo using the app. By 
enabling the respective option for instant preview the preview window pops up 
immediately after I shoot the first photo, as desired. However, the preview 
does not move on to the next images that I shoot. I'd always like to see the 
most recent image in the preview window, comparable to tethered shooting with 
lightroom.

I do not need the images to be stored on the android device. I just want to use 
the bigger tablet screen for review while shooting.

The image must be transferred to Android device before displaying it, there is 
no other way to display images that are on camera sd-card.

>>However, the preview does not move on to the next images that I shoot.
Can you explain me this, the exact operation that you are doing and the desired 
way?

I'd like to shoot with the camera shutter button, then see the full image on 
the screen of my tablet with the ability to zoom around and so on. As soon as I 
press the shutter button again, the next photo shall be displayed. And so on. 
Of course I know that the transfer takes some time. There are some videos on 
youtube about tethered shooting with lightroom. Basically, I'd like to have the 
same functionality on my tablet. Storing images on the tablet would be optional 
for me, though.

I attached an apk that should do what was you referring to. Please try it and 
report back if this is what was you referring.

I can't say because it crashes constantly, even after switching to jpeg only 
shooting. How can I generate backtrace for apps installed direktly through apk 
files?

You can save the logcat with the Lumberjack or Catlog applications.
Can you describe the procedure you are doing and when it crashes?

I just tested once more and here it works.
Turned on image review in settings.
I was using RAW+JPG. After pressing the capture button/shutter release button 
on camera the camera captured the image, the application opened the gallery in 
camera mode and displayed the JPG image. After pressing again the shutter 
release button (and still in image review) the new image was displayed. I also 
tested with a remote release and got same results.

Ok, I see my problem or the cause for the crash: I had the image viewer set to 
external. Does it crash for you in that case?

Yep, will check that.
External viewer will probably not work for this but I need to check.

Does the internal viewer show the images with full resolution? I had the 
feeling I am seeing pixels as soon as I zoom in.

Anyway, thanks for the work. Will these changes make it to the usual version?

The max bitmap size that Android can handle is 2048 width or height. So the 
image is scaled to that resolution with keeping the aspect ratio.
Yep, hope during the weekend I updated it, need to add some more changes.

I forget, if you just click on a NEF RAW file that is located on sdcard and the 
image download is not enabled (3 button from rigth in top row while in camera 
galery - long press to enable/disable), then only a small thumbnail is 
downloaded from camera.

Ok, but there is probably a way around that restriction. Because it's quite 
crucial to zoom in to 100% exactly and see the sharpness of the image.

Ok, but I was shooting on my D7000 in JPEG Large, so full resolution with width 
> 4000. For RAW files I can accept that restriction.

Sorry for not answering, the new version (V0.30.20) is displaying the image in 
full resolution for JPG. NEF files are processed with half resolution because 
the full processing takes to much time.

Seems ok to me now. So the issue can be closed.
