Nice Archivist build post at the r/datahoarder subreddit

I stumbled on a post on r/datahoarder documenting an Archivist scanner build and a subsequent scan project. Make sure to click through to the Imgur gallery for lots of photos and text. Not sure what that person's username here is, but nice work! https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/euyvnj/i...

Re: Edge cleaning?

I have been seeking something (Linux command line batch style) that cleans the edges of .jpg scans. Something that just replaces a few millimeters on the left and right with white. Not a Linux utility but BookCrop https://github.com/nod5/BookCrop has a scrub mode where you draw a rectangle over the...

Might be possible to find out more by comparing changes between develop/master versions:

Re: An improved DIY book scanner

Nice build! In addition, for protecting my intellectual property, I’ve filed a patent application in China (201910185742.9, filed on March 12, 2019). What exactly do you claim a patent for here? IANAL but it seems to me that every feature shown in the video, except perhaps the details of your moving...

No, unfortunately not. The app only works in Windows and only in combination with certain Canon cameras.

Re: TwoCamControl - fast two camera chdkptp photos (Windows)

Yes like bartek158 suggested install the driver on the cameras separately. - Plug in only the first camera via USB to the Windows PC, power on the camera and then install LibUSB driver using these instructions http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/PTP_Extension#LibUSB_Driver_for_Windows . That page also has st...

Re: TwoCamControl - fast two camera chdkptp photos (Windows)

Am I suppoed to download all 3 links? mainly I'm asking about "souce code (zip)" and "source code (tar.gz)" Do I need both? You only need TwoCamControl.exe from that page. And also in the Help section of TCC under DEPENDENCIES step 5 reads; "5. Only if you want to run/build...

Yes, but a (very slow) work in progress.

Thanks also for the link to https://github.com/SiddharthPant/booky , useful tool. When I have time I'll try to make a version that uses tab indentation to set levels instead of using brackets.

Re: TwoCamControl - fast two camera chdkptp photos (Windows)

I do think that error is because the SX130IS lack filewrite support. See the "No" in 4th column for the line SX130IS here http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CameraFeatureTable . You can try using TwoCamControl without direct download of images to the PC. Instead you'd then save them to the SD card...
