Time lapse - intervalometer - I really want to try as well and it should be pretty easy I think once I get to it. Firing the camera regularly is not the problem, it's more about how to let the user specify what they want to do in detail. @joshua gene, no I didn't know it doesn't work on the D3. I'm surprised, and a bit disappointed. Do you think you could send me the WIA connection details of the D3 to see if that gives me any clues? As for reconnecting, yes that's a good idea and I think I can see how to do it. It is a little more fiddly but yet that would be a todo. @Bob Kreizel, the original script works on some Vista machine but not others - I don't know why. I presume the same will be true of this new version. Without Vista myself it's hard to know why. @Karthik, yep saving the settings between sessions — possibly with a load/save — is certainly on the todo list.

Works great on XP. Any future plans to have the script conform to Vista platform? Works great on XP.

Works well with the D300, I suspect you know but it doesn't work with the D3. One thing that would be nice is if the camera get's switched off then the link wouldn't be broken, ie it would just pickup where it stopped without needing to shutdown then reload the software. Awesome Stuff!! Thanks for sharing! Love it! Works well with the D300, I suspect you know but it doesn’t work with the D3.

You might want to dump the settings to a file and read it from there every time the app start. If the file does not exist, set defaults. Along with this you might want to have a button to restore default settings. 2) Time lapse photography, I know the D40 does not have this, not sure about D300. And great job BTW.
