Papywizard preset question

is there something like a <moveto> tag instead of <shoot> ?

reason:
- sometimes I want to control the corners of a choosen preset before taking the pictures
- sometime I want to move the cam to a defined position when shooting is done

I am not sure if this is feature request which is apperciated by other users too:
an optional <pause> tag: shooting will be stopped until resume button is pressed

Re: Papywizard preset question

This is a good idea! I planned for a long time to add such feature for the mosaic mode (go to each corner to check the pano), but didn't know how to do that for preset mode (which may have no corners)...

What about a <preview> tag, instead? Something like:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<papywizard>
    <preset name="My custom preset">
        <tooltip>
            20D + 50mm
            12 picts @ +55°
            20 picts @ +40°
            50 picts @  10°/-10°
            20 picts @ -40°
            55 picts @ -70°
        </tooltip>
        <preview>
            <pict yaw="0." pitch="55." />
            <pict yaw="30." pitch="55." />
            <pict yaw="60." pitch="55." />
            ....
        </preview>
        <shoot>
            <pict yaw="0." pitch="55." />
            <pict yaw="30." pitch="55." />
            <pict yaw="60." pitch="55." />
            <pict yaw="90." pitch="55." />
            ...
        </shoot>
    </preset>
    <preset name="Another custom preset">
    ....
     </preset>
</papywizard>

Or maybe a preview param to the <pict> tag:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<papywizard>
    <preset name="My custom preset">
        <tooltip>
            20D + 50mm
            12 picts @ +55°
            20 picts @ +40°
            50 picts @  10°/-10°
            20 picts @ -40°
            55 picts @ -70°
        </tooltip>
        <shoot>
            <pict yaw="0." pitch="55." />
            <pict yaw="30." pitch="55." preview="true" />
            <pict yaw="60." pitch="55." />
            <pict yaw="90." pitch="55." preview="true" />
            ...
        </shoot>
    </preset>
    <preset name="Another custom preset">
    ....
     </preset>
</papywizard>

(it will avoid maintaining 2 separate lists).

The <pause> tag is also interesting; I think a pause param to the <pict> tag will be easier to use/implement here too:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<papywizard>
    <preset name="My custom preset">
        <tooltip>
            20D + 50mm
            12 picts @ +55°
            20 picts @ +40°
            50 picts @  10°/-10°
            20 picts @ -40°
            55 picts @ -70°
        </tooltip>
        <shoot>
            <pict yaw="0." pitch="55." />
            <pict yaw="30." pitch="55." pause="true"/>
            <pict yaw="60." pitch="55." />
            <pict yaw="90." pitch="55." />
            ...
        </shoot>
    </preset>
    <preset name="Another custom preset">
    ....
     </preset>
</papywizard>

Re: Papywizard preset question

Frederic,

Looks good to me - I guess this would require another button in the Shooting UI for Preview?

Not sure whether I prefer the Preview to be separate or added to pict.

Re: Papywizard preset question

A button, or just a menu entry, don't know yet...

As I said, using an attribute is better, to avoid 2 separate lists.

Re: Papywizard preset question

Frederic,

I like to see a <preview> tag for the mosaic mode. It will be helpful in both seeing the edges of the panorama and for time lapse. For panorama, I always unplug the shutter cable and see the preview which is generated by the preset generator for the corner shots.

I also like to see the <pause> command as well. It can take an optional argument of time to pause in seconds like <pause time="1.2"/> or a simple <pause/> for pre-determined time.

Re: Papywizard preset question

Looking at the code, I realized that it will require a lot of modifications, so I added it to my todo list...

Re: Papywizard preset question

That is fine. I'll use my workaround until this feature comes live.

Re: Papywizard preset question

did the pause option ever get implimented? it would be useful to pause at the end of a row in a preset to adjust focus for example

Re: Papywizard preset question

Pausing at the end of each row needs deep changes in the code; unfortunally, I don't have time to implement that now...
