I apologize for my sudden absence, like CyberCorn
The boss is CyberCom, to you, sir... 
It is there, though I don't see it in NetBeans (I'm clearly quite incompetent).
CyberCom - That was a hilariously tragic mistake, and I apologize 
EDIT: I found the directory, and changed the directory in NetBenas to be .../DLL/... rather than .../dll/... as it was coded, should I just change the directory name to be dll rather than DLL to leave the program intact?
EDIT: It gives the same problem as before. The directory is not a problem, and the file is there. I'll try re-downloading it.
EDIT: It was not a corrupt file, as the problem stands.

Alright mac doesn't use DLL's they use .framework files, talking to canon right now about getting .framework files.
EDIT got them I'm going to push them to the repository as soon as possible, however you will have to add some Mac specific code so you or tenny1028 should create a new repository call it something like "Stop-Motion-Program-Mac" just make sure people know it's mac.

Ok. Sounds great. Let me know when and where to get it
It's in the repository under CAVEMAN-TENNY. Some things that you need to do to get this mac ready is.
1. change all occurences of StdCallCallback (StdCallbackLibrary) to Callback (Library) you can use ctrl-f to find all of them.
2. remove all reference to windows api’s. should be easy to find because they make your app crash when you launch
3. remove the dispatch message calls (peekMessage/dispatchMessage/translateMessage)
4. copy the edsdk framework to /Library/Frameworks or /System/Library/Frameworks
5. you’ll have to fiddle with the library loading a bit. it’s inside CanonCamera (i think)
6. if you would like to use callbacks (e.g. for downloading images) make sure to have some awt window open. calling
new Frame().dispose();seems to be enough to get the nsapplication loop going.
7. before you run anything you need to add
-d32To the JVM arguments to force 32bit mode. The canon edsdk isn’t 64bit mode yet for Mac it's developmental on windows according to them. Make sure you DO NOT push these changes to the windows version repo I can make a new one for mac or you can make it.

What is the significance of the parenthesis in step one?
Also, I am getting an error on the GitHub website, so can you post another link of the webpage where the files are loaded?
EDIT: Parenthesis resolved.
EDIT: Step two. These ones?

This one, am I correct?
What do I do for step 3?
This?
subtract the top two liines?
Inside or outside of NetBeans for step 4?
i.e. 
or
Sorry for the questions, I just want to get this right.
Paste it here?

Fiddling, as in what?
Also, where do I put the new Frame().dispose();? In the awt window? If so, which window is that?
Also, I need a link to the Canon framework files, as I accidentally pasted the DLL's.
Sorry for the double post
