Icarus Camera Control

About Icarus Camera Control
This program allows users of PTP cameras to remote control the camera, i.e. for tethered capture. It is intended as a replacement for vendor supplied camera control software that performs badly on portable computers.

This is open source software, not closed shareware. Easy-to-install bundles are available, or you can retrieve the source and build yourself.

Icarus Camera Control

System Requirements

  • Mac OS X 10.5 or later
via apple.com

I know some cats who may be interested in looking into this. (open source)

Not sure if it will work with that old mega vision, but anything work a try a this point.

There no site link besides this listing @ apple downloads : http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/icaruscameracontrol.html

OpenMeta; open source document metadata for OS X

via ironicsoftware.com

Ironic Software has released OpenMeta, a new open sourced standard for metadata on OS X. OpenMeta, working with established OS X technologies, ushers in a new wave of standards based document management solutions. These solutions can scale from single laptops through to large organizations. Ironic is also releasing free tools to work with the OpenMeta standard. 'Tagger' is an application that allows tagging and rating any document, while omtool is a command line utility.

How it works:
Ironic Software has developed a system that is extensible, open sourced, and based on the OS X file system. Documents are not 'stored' in any special database, instead they are simply put where ever they make sense. A document management system must both store documents (which OpenMeta leaves up to the file system), and metadata about the files - meta data being tags, dates, ratings, people, etc associated with the document.

OpenMeta uses unix 'extended attributes' to store this metadata. By storing both the files and the metadata on the file system, backing up and restoring a document management system can be done with (almost) any normal backup system. For some offices, Time Machine will do more than an adequate job. Storing metadata and files using no special formats or databases allows for very robust future proof behavior. OpenMeta has been designed to last as long as OS X will last.
