New Feature: OLPF Selection on System Restore Bootup

[Casey Green]

I'd like to propose that RED seriously considers adding a requester popup upon boot-up after a new Firmware Install or System Restore, that asks which OLPF you have installed in your EPIC or Scarlet.

(I realize this is a moot point for Weapon, as I believe the Weapon OLPFs are smart (have data pins) and can be detected which one is installed, and RAVEN will have a fixed Standard OLPF.)

But I believe it will be very welcome to have the reminder to select the appropriate OLPF, as one may easily forget to do this when out in the field and doing a firmware upgrade or system restore.

Am I alone on this or would others find this valuable?

Good idea but I don't believe the OLPF settings change with upgrades and restore. I could be wrong though.

When I chsnge OLPF its kinda a big deal... I won't forget to change a menu setting. Not important for me sorry, Id prefer Red to concentrate on making me a camera that shoots 1000fps

FWIW, update of iOS foolcontrol deployed in the next few days will show selected OLPF setting on main page... it's already in OS X version since 1.6 release

The OLPF setting is preserved through firmware upgrades and factory restore events.
