If Haiku is to be a reimplementation of BeOS R5, then where is the Camera application? Back in 2000, BeOS R5 had limited support for certain Nikon, Olympus, Polaroid and Kodak cameras.
Currently, if I need to take a photo of a KDL on my monitor, I need to boot another PC and offload the photograph in Windows before I can attach it to a report in bug tracker.
My particular camera (Canon Powershot SD1000), when connected to a USB port is not recognised by Haiku. Are tthere plans to include this application,and will it have support for at least one major camera manufacturer?
CodyCam, which is included as part of the Haiku bundled applications recognizes only a very few webcams. My 10 year old Creative NX Pro, like the Canon camera, is not detected by Haiku. Haiku really needs to imlement support for at least one major mainstream webcam manufacturers, such as Logitech or Creative. Apparently it does support Sonix clones. However, those are not listed in the top ten of the worlds webcam manufacturers.
CDBurner Application. BeOS R5 had a bundled CD burning application. CD burning in Haiku still has to be done from the command line. Unfortunately, even that is not working since Alpha 4.1. Apparently one of the GCI students was successful in porting the latest revision to Haiku (3.01a25). I'm hoping it fixes the currently broken CDRTools package in the nightlies.
This post is not meant as a criticism, but an observation of missing, incomplete, or non-functional applications bundled in Haiku.
