Beta Testers Wanted: CRW Converter for Mac OS X

[Bryan Chang]

Hi All,

I have recently bought a Canon D60, although I am very happy with the camera, in the mean time I am also very frustrated by the fact that Canon still can't provide Mac users a decent Mac OS X workflow solution.

For this reason, in the past two weeks I was able to locate the source code of the FreeBSD crw utility and I have spent some time this week to create a GUI interface for it using AppleScript Studio. Right now the app is almost done, the initial performance testings shows very positive results.

To run this app you will need to have Mac OS X 10.2. I plan to to release it as freeware once I have done some more QA. If you are interested in helping me to test it, please send me email at: bryanchang (at) mac.com.

Sign me up. I'm running OS 10.2.1. Ready to test.

I am a Mac fan and would be willing to upgrade to OSX to try out your converter.

Seems you beat me to it!

Just a couple of questions:

Are you planning to add 1D capability?
How fast is it?

Bryan:

Way to go! It's sorely needed. Sign me up for the beta test as well.

Ha, believe it or not, I think your words (on another thread about the same topic) were the main driving force for me to write it.

This is a just a quick little hack, I believe your app will be even better!

As I said in the first post, this is just a wrapper for the crw tool, so it doesn't really do anything more than whatever crw can do, at least for version 1.0. ;-)

[Bryan Chang]

let me know if you have questions.

For some reason .Mac file sharing wants to "help" me to compress the StuffIt file again, so once you download the file please use StuffIt to extract it again.

Let's see...I'd also like a new Mercedes

Hi,

Just one bit of feedback--since this doesn't represent or interface w/ a device, the HI guidelines say you shouldn't use metal.

Oh no! not the UI police!!

Personally I think the Aqua UI guidelines is very confusing. For example the Address Book & Sherlock in Mac OS X 10.2 both don't have anything with any devices, while they both has the metal look.

Hmmm... How about a Honda Civic with lots of mod partz?

Yeah... It's in my first message.

I don't like to post me email address on public forums... too much spam already.

The address book is meant to represent a physical address book, and with Sherlock...well, yeah

I would be interested in beta testing for you, though, esp since I had looked into porting this code to X and putting a Cocoa front-end on it at one point!
