check for lens correction updates and Update lens correction database about filmulator-gui HOT 9 OPEN

The Lensfun project changed their website. I'm looking into grabbing the lens correction data straight from GitHub since I cannot seem to find the new location.

from filmulator-gui.

Took me a couple of hours to find out - the new location is at https://wilson.bronger.org/lensfun-db/

The change in lensfun-dbupdate.cpp is of course trivial, but if you prefer I can try to create a pull request.

(Just fell in love with Filmulator again, and did a bit of polishing on my local MacOs build ;-) )

Oke, thanks for your reply.

I just want to note +1 for this, since I installed fimulator for the first time. Thanks for the effort!

from filmulator-gui.

+1. Would it be possible to add a slider for people who have lenses not in Lensfun?

Oh I'm soooo dumb, that was right there in the code commented out as an "alternate" and I never thought to try it...

I'm not sure where to make the fix in Filmulator to address this location change of the lensfun database. Can someone provide some rough instructions?

You would need to change the old URL (http://lensfun.sourceforge.net/db/) to the new one (https://wilson.bronger.org/lensfun-db/) in lensfun-dbupdate.cpp and build Filmulator anew yourself.
Unfortunately the new URL is longer than the old one, so just patching the binary instead of rebuilding is not possible.

If you happen to be on MacOs, an updated version of Filmulator is here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gheb112zfcfcyyi/AAD0Lxh3d6QTN5UPtO4HiAQAa?dl=0
It also has changes for MacOS (enable "Open with ..." and a fix to prevent crashes with noise reduction).

Thanks. I'm running on Zorin OS - Ubuntu. I"ll take a look.
