M9Tether 1.7 released

Version 1.7 contains some new options.


Opening transferred photos

There's now the option to open the transferred JPG or DNG - or both - through the default application. The default application is maintained by Windows (on file extension).

You can also select your own application.

You get to this option by clicking the button on the right of the option 'Store captures on PC' in the main window. Note that the button will only show if you have this option selected.

In the window that appears you can select either the default application or select your own. Set your own application by clicking the button on the left of the window.

Be careful though with selecting your own application, since M9Tether doesn't check the validity of the application nor does it know if the application you select can actually handle DNG or JPG. If it can't, errors might pop up after transfer.

Photos will only be opened by the set application if 'Store captures on PC' is turned 'on'.

If you want to use M9Tether with Lightroom, don't use this option, but set up an auto-import folder in Lightroom, and point the store path of M9Tether (in the main window) to that folder.


Timed shoot repeat

Due to a change in event handling in 1.6, it is now possible to repeat timed shooting at all intervals. The software will wait till the camera is ready to take the next shot.

Note though that if the interval is set lower than the actual transfer time, the proper interval can not be maintained. If timing is important, make sure that the exposure, noise reduction and transfer doesn't take longer than the set interval.


Miscellaneous

Adds a 'Stop' button to break the software exposure bracketing and timed shooting.


New known bug

If you have multiple WPD/PTP enabled devices connected to the computer, double clicking on the camera in the list that pops up will lead to an error and M9Tether won't show.

The workaround is to select the camera (by single click) and then click on the button 'Connect to selection'.

This bug will be fixed in version 1.8.
