Q
How do I contribute to development?
A
Read about the TODO items, checkout known bugs and get hold of the source code. Patches are welcomed via email, preferably sent using git-send-email.
Q
How do I build libgphoto2 and entangle from scratch?
A
We strongly recommend installing the OS distributors own pre-built packages. Compilation from scratch is much more error-prone, but for those who are feeling adventurous there are some instructions on compiling from scratch
Q
Why was this application created?
A
During a presentation with a local photography club, the speaker was using tethered shooting during practical demonstrations to quickly display shots on a projector screen. This seemed like quite a useful thing to be able to do, but while many Linux apps use libgphoto for accessing/downloading images from a camera, at the time, none exposed its remote shooting and configuration capabilities. This was a gap in the open source application suite just crying out to be filled. More recently Darktable has also gained the ability todo tethered shooting.
Q
Where can I get the source code?
A
If you are an end user then you probably want to download an officially released source archive on the download page. If you are a developer wanting to contribute, then goto the master GIT repository
