Dorgem very-pre-alpha released
I just released a “very-pre-alpha” version of Dorgem3. Know that this is version is absolutely not finished. It is more a prove of concept then a workable version. It is easier to tell what is done and not tell what still needs to be done:
- Running on Win32, only tested on Windows XP
- You need to configure it, by editing an XML file in your profile directory
- A file storage is available.
- Bitmap and text captions are available.
- It still uses Video for Windows to talk to the camera.
- The date related text captions are using the
wxDateTime::Format()
function, which uses thestrftime()
function.
To test it, copy the Profiles.xml to your personal profile directory: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Dorgem
and edit it to fit your needs.
Start Dorgem.exe
.
Running it will not effect your current Dorgem2 settings.
They are stored in the registry and Dorgem3 uses XML files to store the settings.
The next thing I am going to do is to implement the FTP storage. As soon it is done I will release a new alpha version.
No support is given on this version, but I would like to hear what you think of it, given its known limitations!
Awesome news, Frank! I will give the alpha a good try as soon as I have a chance.
