Access OS card with Windows PC?

(1/2) > >>

gyppor:
Hello,

Please forgive what is probably a really dumb question -

I want to edit the drop-down list of resolutions/frame rates on the main record settings screen. I don't have a linux machine available to access the contents of the OS microSD card on the camera, so I'm wondering if any 3rd party applications are available for PC to access and edit this type of file. I don't know what the extension is. I have zero experience with linux.

Thanks,
G

It's just a normal SD card that you can put in to any windows PC.
The file is just a simple text file that you can edit with any text editor.
If you want an amazing Windows text editor that is free, download this.

Tetree - I do see some files but no folders. David told me to look in /opt/camera/resolutions to find the text file in question, however I see no folders. Hidden files and folders are turned on. All I see on the micro SD card is:
boot.cmd
boot.scr
MLO
README.boot.scr
splash.bmp
u-boot.bin
uImage
 
I've installed notepad++ as you recommended but all the files I listed above appear as lines of gibberish. It seems I'm not seeing all there is to see on the card.

Any other ideas?

There are two partitions, a FAT32 for boot and an EXT3 for the Linux OS. You need to access the card from a Linux system to see the second.

Edit: See post below, there are solutions for accessing the Linux partition from Windows.

Thanks David, EXT3 was the keyword I needed! After a quick search I found a program called Paragon ExtFS for Windows which allowed me to access the partition and open the resolution file in Windows 7. Thanks again!

What other company gives customers this level of service? None that I can think of.

Edit: thanks Tretee for the notepad++ link as well, it opens the file with each resolution on its own line rather than notepad, which shows it as a string of numbers.
