Apologies for this new update: I had a major issue with my development setup and some embedded graphics got messed up.
In this version all lock/unlock buttons (finally) show up properly again.
I purchased a new camera, the Insta360 Link. Turns out the software that comes with it allows saving different cam position settings as well as hotkeys.

BUT: when pressing the buttons or using hotkeys the Insta360 zooms, pans or tilts at full speed.

So I have decided to work even more on the SmoothPTZR functionality and allow the user to choose between 0 and 128 milliseconds of delay between the individual cam position steps. Turned out nicely - see the video here:

7.3.6 also fixes an issue with lock icons not showing that I introduced with 7.3.5 yesterday...

V 7.3.5:
  1. Clean disappear and reappear from taskbar when minimized to tray (Thanks again, @M4SC )
  2. Saving profiles will no longer be interfered by changes another app may be doing to the camera at that moment. Thanks, Steve from steveforward.com!
When you minimize CamooZ to the system tray (aka task notification area) or "start minimized to tray" CamooZ will now properly disappear from the taskbar - and re-appear when restore from the tray using right mouse button and the associated popup menu.

Thanks @M4SC for the idea and the hint!
Fixes a timing issue for somewhat slower responding drivers.
CamooZ now handles any device that does not support Powerline Frequency or Low Light Compensation. This also (but not only) fixes previously reported issues around the Elgato Cam Link 4K - (not Elgato's fault, mine of course!)

Fixed a bug handling ini-files created with another version
Fixed a bug intercepting implausible drivers responses
Little cosmetic to the GUI

Setup.exe:
For your convenience you can now either extract CamooZ.exe from the zip-file and handle it's installation yourself manually - or you just run the installer "setup.exe".

SmoothPTZR
When you work with e.g. 2 profiles, both with a little zoom-in and one has PAN -10, the other PAN +10, CamooZ would usually just change the camera pan from -10 to +10 on the spot.

With SmoothPTZR option enabled CamooZ will issue 20 changes to the camera's PAN setting: from -10 to +10, one after the other, waiting 20 milliseconds between them (shown in this video, pls forgive the lousy light in my basement)

  • Thanks to @TheRealKolga and @JK14 who provided trace and test data V7.2.7 is pretty stable now when it encounters and discards/ignores e.g. capture cards.

  • CamooZ trackbars now slide smoothly with much better performance leading to much higher accuracy

  • New listening mode - CamooZ will disable all controls for the user and just check the selected camera's settings 10x/second (useful when you need to figure out if another application is making changes to your camera)

  • A manual refresh button to re-read all current camera settings

  • A USB auto-refresh option: in case there is a USB insert or remove, you can make CamooZ refresh the camera list automatically.
    (Until now a restart of CamooZ was required to include newly added or get rid of removed USB cameras).

  • Simpler interface with an ever growing number of options now moved to an options panel that also has the hotkey settings.
