[10:05:03 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> cindyli: i've pushed up my changes for deleting images based on the index.. will need test it out when the unit tests are working again

[10:11:08 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok, Justin_o_

[10:23:38 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> cindyli, jhung: was testing out the cameras with a memory card.. also tried out my Nikon D90

[10:23:51 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> okay

[10:24:04 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> the verdict?

[10:24:31 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> cindyli, jhung: so results.. when you have a memory card in the camera, you have to make sure that it doesn't mount it in Linux.. you can do this from the pop dialog that comes up after connecting..

[10:24:50 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> if it is mounted, then the camera will be locked and gphoto won't be able to use it

[10:25:22 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> okay that sounds familiar justin_o

[10:25:38 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> cindyli, jhung: for the d90 if i leave it shooting in RAW it returns a tiff version of the thumbnail(preview) which is pretty low resolution

[10:26:15 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> okay good to know justin_o. In that case we'll tell the user to keep it on JPEG

[10:26:45 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> jhung: yep.. even when shooting in raw + jpeg, it treats it as just a raw capture

[10:26:53 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> also, is there a way to unmount the camera so we can lock it using gphoto?

[10:27:12 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> jhung, cindyli: another interesting thing is that if my D90 can't focus on anything it returns an error

[10:27:32 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> jhung: don't think so.. but i'll try to double check

[10:30:05 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> jhung: don't see anything in the man page about it

[11:08:13 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> fluid-everyone: i'm thinking for the community meetings that maybe we could reserve one per month to do code refactoring.. for example we could pick some piece of code and have groups try to improve it (e.g. better readability, performance, and etc.) Any thoughts on that?

[11:08:29 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> that would be fun, Justin_o_

[11:09:49 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> colinclark: cool… i'll add something to our schedule

[11:10:05 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> Sounds great

[11:30:08 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> cindyli: what was it that you needed me to do for the zip export.. it looks like it's pretty much done in conventional.py

[11:30:32 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> Justin_o_: never test it yet

[11:30:40 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> ah okay..

[11:31:15 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> cindyli: i'll try to test it out, will the unit tests work yet.. or are you still working on that?

[11:32:28 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> Justin_o_: still working on it. the debug hangs somehow everytime when running the test. trying the tests one by one

[11:32:54 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o_> cindyli: strange

[13:23:29 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> colinclark: I just made a pull request to our fork of Captionator. please let me know what you think

[13:28:57 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> great, michelled

[13:34:12 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> michelled: I love your comment at line 249 in this pull request

[13:35:16 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> colinclark: do you think it's something that should be fixed before going into our fork?

[13:36:35 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> colinclark: I thought there would be some common tools for such things but didn't turn anything up. also, I'm not sure we want captionator to depend on another library

[13:37:06 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> brb

[13:38:03 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Best as I can tell, there really aren't any tools for it

[14:56:58 CDT(-0500)] <jhung_away> ?cindyli and justin_o: have time tomorrow to chat about the capture UI

[14:57:00 CDT(-0500)] <jhung_away> ?

[14:57:59 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> sure

[14:58:13 CDT(-0500)] <jhung_away> great.
