The 505 in libprs500

Just committed initial support for the 505 (command line only, linux only) to svn. I'd appreciate a little testing from those of you that have the 505 and use linux.

The command line interface is the same as that for the 500 (i.e. the command prs500)

You may need to install dbus-python (also called python-dbus)

Incidentally does anyone know how I can find programatically where a given USB removable drive (identified by product and vendor ids) is mounted on windows?

Do you think it's possible to enable libprs505 to be able to use and create collections on the 505? That way people not on Windows can setup collections as they want. Even with the new menus, I still use the collections.

Yeah it already supports collections on the 500 supporting the on the 505 will be not much extra work.

I expected it to be easy and it is. The only hard part is the operating system integration for 3 different OSes. I expect windows and OSX to give me much more trouble, but atleast users of the 505 wont have driver conflicts with the connect software.

...do you believe will be problematic? Determining if a volume is a removable (for example) is rather trivial, for example...

An hour of googling and the best way i can come up with in windows to find where a particular USB drive is mounted is a commandline program, which would impose a lot of unecessary overhead when polling.

I haven't looked at OSX but from my past experiences I'm dreading it. Both OSes because they have a strict policy of "users" first seems to have a dearth of good development tools that are also free. Of course I may not be the best judge of things, since I am mostly a linux guy.

...for mac os x is in fact free, ships with every mac, and is included with every commercially sold copy of mac os x; it is also available in its entirety as a free download from apple.

anyway, os x has a mechanism that is the inverse of polling (very inefficient) where you simple tell the os to tell you when a removable is mounted, what it was, and then your code decides what to do with it.

I'm not a python guy, but i know that pyobjc bridges the cocoa apis direct to python...and that this bridge actually will be shipping by default on the system with 10.5. right now, you bundle it if you wish to use it.

mrkai, but what about system running a prior OS X such as 10.4 or maybe 10.3?

I don't know but maybe this could help you Kovid.

If not, if you could explain what do you want this function to do we could try to help you.


And sorry for my english... :P

I think what you're looking for is this key in the registry :

HKEY_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\Current Control Set\Enum\USB\Vid_054c&Pid_031e

As far as I know, those Pid's are unique per device -- so you should only see those if you have a PRS-505 that's been attached. Doing a search for this key may be the easiest way, I'll dig and see if there's another easier identifier.
