No entangle help.  But Linux help in general:

If you create a data base of all files on your Ubuntu computer by running this command (as root):

updatedb

Then you can find files quickly (way faster than Windows) with this command (as your self):

locate name_of_a_file_you_are_looking_for

So you can find all files named README in seconds by typing:

locate README

This, incidentally, even works on a MAC as MACs have been based on Unix/Linux now for years. I added this as most photographers own MACs.

-welcome to Linux, good luck

Hi

I'm a Ubuntu newbie, coming from Windows.

I need a software for tethered shooting with mt Nikon D5000.

Found Entangle, and installed it.

Have spend many hours since, because it looked like
the LiveView-option was not working.

Did post in several forums, without success.
However, some people gave me outstanding help,
where they looked at the OS.
I so I did learn a lot about Ubuntu.

Bur nobody was able to solve my Entangle LiveView-problem.

I was lucky to decover the README-file in Entangle,
located at usr/share/doc/entangle/README.

There I found the keyboardshortcuts, and an explanation
of what they do.

The icons in the menu bar are corresponding, but I do use a translated
version (Dutch), do the p - toggle LiveView, which is translated by
(on mouse over): "Continue vastleggen van preview", which is not a very
good translation.

Why not add a "help"-button in the menu-bar, where (on mouse over)
the list of keyboard shortcuts will show up, complete with a good
explanation?

Would have saved this newbie several days of searching for a solution,
which obviously was at reach all the time. But hidden for my dumb eyes.

By the way: Entangle is a very nice software!

Jan
