needs an option to release the trigger while paused

Thanks, this is a huge improvement on the built-in script. But I'm having trouble setting the script to wait long enough for the camera to take a picture while the bed is parked, without repeating. It needs an option to release the trigger without returning to the print immediately. If I set the pause long enough for the camera to take a shot while the bed is stationary, it holds the button down too long and the camera takes two or three images in a row. The bed is only stationary in the first image. Then I have the tedious task of finding and deleting the extra blurred images. If I set the time short enough to only take one picture the print bed is already returning when the camera takes the picture which varies from 1 to 1.5 seconds after the button on the trigger is pressed. It does the same thing on both of my cameras and my old phone. The trigger is a remote Bluetooth trigger from a selfie stick. And yes, I turned off repeat on both my cameras and phone.

I have the same problem as you. I have modified the code and added the camera release function. After the release, you can set the waiting time for the shooting. If you find it useful, remember to give a star and reply to tell me, so as to confirm that it is suitable for more people who encounter this problem.

I tried your script, but it doesn't show up in Cura, the script from Simon works just fine. But your add-ons are would be great if i can get the script to show up.....

The script parsing error has been fixed, you need to download it again and try again

Well, it's working but now the option "trigger lenght pauze" is missing. My phone needs a very short trigger or i'll get burst mode

Can you see the option "Pause length"? image-20220111102831927

@aibittek you should create a pull request to add this improvement to the original repo instead of forking it. Most people won't see your forked repo.
