Hey @hartcw

CaptureGRID documentation seems to point to this snap as an official installation method. The snap is also owned by Kuvacode**.** Could you please clarify what is your relation with this snap, the upstream project and/or Kuvacode?

Thanks

Yes thats correct, CaptureGRID runs in windows, mac and linux, and for linux the capturegrid6 snap is how I will package and distribute the app.

I’m the owner of the Kuvacode company, and sole developer for the app.

Thanks for the clarification.

+1 from for granting auto-connection to camera and hardware-observe interfaces.

whilst raw-usb grants wider access than actually needed, I think this is the best option we have as of now. Thus, +1 also from me for granting auto-connection to raw-usb interface

Hi @hartcw,

+1 from my side as well for granting auto-connection to raw-usb, camera and hardware-observe interfaces.
