Thank you, Chris and Fabio, for your support and your remarks. I've set up the
basis of my project's hosting on sourceforge, and while there's not much more
to see at the moment, the framework is working. So now, I'm working on the
alpha release (at the moment, access is done via cvs only).
chris> However, I use only OSX ...
It /may/ work, as OS X is an unix enough ; but I know Gambas is at the moment
restricted to 32 bits processors (the author, otherwise bright, probably made
a conception mistake there). 64 bits machines are considered, but there's no
public schedule on that issue. So maybe, in a near future...
chris> Unless that's a French word, by the way, "Developer" has only one
"p" :-)
The french word is "développeur", but in photography context, you're more
likely to find "agent développateur" as a chemical part of the
"révélateur" (developer /per se/) formula. So, in a word, yes, I made a
spelling mistake. If you happen to spot some more... ["lavage" on the washing
frame has been corrected].

Good news !

I made a post some days ago about krita ; it appears it has what gimp misses.

Are you speaking of Claudio Bonavolta, by any chance ? I talked to him on
fr.rec.photo.labo and he pointed me to his software at
http://www.bonavolta.ch/hobby/fr/photo/darktools.htm ; now, that's a serious
piece of work. But he has a serious piece of darkroom too !!
http://www.bonavolta.ch/hobby/en/photo/mylab.htm
To state the obvious, my needs and aims are much, much more modest.

It runs on my laptop, and I find it comfortable enough. And a Palm is so
90's ;-þ
Fabio> Going back to your photo timer, if you need any kind of help (testing,

Thank you again for your support. As soon as I've got a feature-complete
release, I'll mail you, if you don't mind, mostly for translations (and more
if you feel like to). It's easy to translate in gambas, there's absolutely no
programmation involved, and it's really nice for users ; I've already got
french, en_us, and spanish.
