Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has sussed a way of using the newly released
Image Capture Framework to take photos from USB digital cameras... I
don't mean downloading them from the camera, I mean asking the camera to
take a photo (and then downloading it, but I can do that bit).
As far as I can tell from the docs, the only messages available for
sending are (taken from last page of the 41 page PDF in the SDK):
kICAMessageConnect
kICAMessageDisconnect
kICAMessageReset
kICAMessageCheckDevice
... I see no kICAMessageTakePiccyAtTimeTWithTheseImageSettingsPlease
message.
Does this mean:
(a) it's not possible to take a photo from a Cocoa (or Carbon or UNIX)
app?
(b) it is possible to take a photo from a Cocoa app, but I'm not looking
in the right place?
The functionality I'm after is available in the Linux gPhoto open source
code, but alas that doesn't seem to work too smoothly with IOKit etc. so
won't port to OS X.
Any ideas greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Ken
