Turning the saved filename box back on in the EEEPC webcam tool ucview
12/13/09
At some point I turned off the box that appeared at the top of the EEEPC webcam tool ucview when a video or image file is saved. The box not only shows the name of the video file that you save but also makes it easy to tell when you have stopped recording with ucview which can be difficult because the changes in the button while recording are similar to the way the button looks when you hover over it.
It took a bit of digging to find out how to do this on the EEEPC and where the value was stored.
If you have gconf-editor installed you can find the key you need to change in /apps/ucview if you don't the easiest to mmke the change is to open a terminal window by hitting Ctrl_Alt-T and entering the following command.
To enable the save filename box for videos use the following command:
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/ucview/hide_video_saved_box false
To enable the save filename box for images use the following command:
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/ucview/hide_image_saved_box false
That's it, simple isn't it?
