Confused: ist*DL Limited support or not supported? #69

Hi,

I find very different dokumentation artifacts about pktiggercord and the 'good olde' Pentax ist*DL DSLR ranging from not supported over not tested up to (in the main github page) parti "limited support"....

What can I expect? Or asked differently, I do only own exactly this model - when I try pktriggercord and nothing happens, then "not support" or "I mixed something up" is possible? :-)

Thanks a lot for clearyfying what can I expect from the ist*DL in combination with pktriggercord.

Cheers.

It's listed as "limited support" in the webpage ( https://github.com/asalamon74/pktriggercord/ ) and in the README ( https://github.com/asalamon74/pktriggercord/blob/master/README.md ). Where do you see the not supported info?

Limited support means: You can take pictures, change settings using the command line version, but you cannot read the status fields. Limited version of GUI allows taking a picture (only one, you need to save (only PEF) or delete it before taking the next one), but camera settings cannot be read or modified.

To be honest I don't remember anyone testing this so it might not work. Can you send me the output of the following command:

pktriggercord-cli --statux_hex --debug

If you're using Linux, you can redirect the output to a file using:

pktriggercord-cli --statux_hex --debug > debug.log 2>&1
