Re: Useless confirmation - Please, more detailed read.me

Why do you want to put a question? It's only going to make lazy people tick/answer it without actually reading the Read me file... So it's actually a waste of time and you are not going to get any less repeated "silly" questions (already answered in Read me). This is a known fact in this hard life. You can only fight against it answering only "Please read the readme file" whenever you get a "silly" question.
The request of having this "pass" implemented has more to do with "making people see who gets credit for what", making them see "donation links" and things like that. Nothing to do with preparing them to use the mod (which is why I rejected this request once before).
Nevertheless, having said this and please, please, please, please, do not misunderstand me, I really think you should some more time writing a thoroughly deep readme file. I know you've really done a incredible work, and no praise will be enough, but somehow the readme file is far too basic.
I'm a perfect example here. I haven't followed the developement and ALL the threads about it and I've just installed the mod, (in fact yesterday). So I'm somehow a fully "noob" about the mod itself but I consider myself "not a noob" about photography in general. But I find a lot of info missing in that readme.
Examples:
- The actual meaning of each of the categories for movie bitrates. (I mean Vasile's table and the match between each mode and NX1 or NX500).
The table Vasile shows is how the camera separates the different resolution/quality modes, something that I tried to simplify, so you don't really need to know that table, just use the menu. (keep in mind that on NX1 high fps HD uses 4K's bitrate), other than that, it should be self-explanatory.
- What does actually focus pull (EV+Half shutter) do? (¿Memory of your current focus distance in case you use "Refocus on Boot" later?)
Goes back to previous focus distance that was used. Focus to subject 1, press EV+Half-shutter, focus on subject 2. Now when you half-press EV+Shutter you will switch back to the other subject in focus.
- What do Focus Buttons do? How do I use the 1 to 6 "keys"?
there are some youtube videos, but that's something Otto developed, so I'm not familiar with it's operations in detail
- How does Focus Stack work? I've pressed Near (to select near distance), then Far and then Stack and nothing happens. (Shouldn't my NX1 start taking pictures as in a bracketing mode?)
again something Otto developed, and since I use manual lenses it's not something I'm familiar with
- What's Batch recording (continuous recording)? How can you record without being continuous? (Is it just a No time limit?)
on NX500 recording limit is not removed from 4K / UHD, so it's an easy way to make one video after another
a virtual memory extension
- Is No Rec Limit setting the very same one set through the Auto:Down-OK.... "service" hidden menu? Or is it another different thing?
same thing, just no need for service menu
- What's Kill switch (removes keyscan and gui from memory)? (What's a "keyscan"?) I can swear that this custom feature is REAAAALY scary for a noob...
This one removes the programs from memory (so no more key-combination which are watched for by keyscan, no gui), until the next reboot, or they will get restarted in 3 min.
I'll try to make the readme more detailed when I have time : )
cheers
