Yes, entangle already supports live preview mode (at least on cameras where it is supported by libgphoto2). > > At this point in time, I'd like to think we can get one UI that is > > good for all capture use cases, including stop motion.

The PEAS plugin system is setup to enable the Python plugin engine. Unfortunately due to ref-counting + garbage collection problems you cannot mix 2 non-C languages in the plugin system. I decided upon Python over javascript since it is more mature code. We're generating the data neccessary to access APIs from python using gobject introspection, but i've not written up how to actually use this properly yet.
