Again! Perfect problem analysis!
Dear Peter,
you are again correct in both.
a) The first image shown in the contrast view (the right small pic, not the live pic) is totally white in init state. After the first scan it shows the expected version of the live pic. So its a kind of "it blinks white for a moment, then goes to expected picture".
b) with V 1.25.1 it works like charm. Doesn't matter now if shutter is open or closed before starting The vOICe. It works with both!
If you never mind, i would use this special version (.1) for myself now, if there are no known caveats, so that you recommend not to use it in a "production environment" and it's only good for testing purpose.
Thanks again for your excellent helping hand and responsiveness!
