Simple Bracketing for A460[]
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is my first script, hope it works for you.
Written for/on: Powershot A460, CHDK Build allbest #50.
Also works on: (unknown at this time)
I wrote this script because i've tried some bracketing scripts, but neither worked for me. Also i've tried to use get_prop and set_prop functions, without any result. And at last, this was the first time on mi life i've tried to use uBasic (at 3 am). If it could be optimized, just tell me.
Documentation/Help (save as a small "focus-brkt.txt" file to your /CHDK/SCRIPTS/ folder)
Before running the script, make sure the exposure value is on 0 and the cursor is on the normal/supermacro selection mode (that's because i based it on click functions).
