IOX Still Camera Beta 1.0.3b16

[Steve Sisak]

Hi All,

Sorry for the short notice, but we resolved a problem with our USB 
Still Camera driver and the version of Apple Image Capture shipped 
with Mac OS 10.3 (Panther) and want to get a fix out ASAP.

We've just posted a patch here and would like your assistance in 
verifying that it works properly:

<ftp://ftp2.ioxperts.com/IOXperts/USBStill/MacOSX/USBStillCamera1.0.3b16.dmg.gz>
<ftp://ftp.ioxperts.com/IOXperts/USBStill/MacOSX/USBStillCamera1.0.3b16.dmg.gz>

If you're curious, the issues are that Apple Image Capture won't 
download images if the driver doesn't provide a custom icon for the 
camera and will crash if an image thumbnail is bigger than 128 pixels 
in either dimension.

These will be fixed in a future release of Apple Image Capture, but 
we're now working around them in the driver for now.

The only difference between 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 is that the driver always 
provides a custom icon and limits the thumbnail size.

----

BTW, as of 10.3, we can finally get Apple Image Capture to release 
the hardware when it's done downloading images -- this means we may 
be able to support video on the dual-mode cameras soon.

There are a bunch of changes in Apple Image Capture support that 
changed in 10.3 so I'd like to know if anyone has a problem with us 
requiring 10.3 for the next version.

(We'll continue to support current functionality on 10.1 and 10.2, 
but no new features)

More on this later.

Thanks for your support and assistance,

-Steve
