I'm trying to copy some photos from an iPhone to my openSUSE 42.3 box and am getting myself confused. Can anybody tell me the best way to do it, or point me to some simple but complete instructions?
I've been following instructions from various web pages.
You should be able to just plug the phone, open the file browser, and open the phone. No need to install anything.
Following another hint, I started shotwell (not a program I normally use) and it came up and showed me all the photos on the phone, so at least I know that the USB connection is working. So I clicked on Import All but it failed to import any photos. The log is full of lines like:
IMG_0003.JPG error message: [-107] Error retrieving file object for /store_feedface/DCIM/100APPLE/IMG_0003.JPG: Unknown error
I can't even seem to find something that tells me where shotwell actually stores imported photos to double check.
Typically "/home/[HOME]/Pictures/year/month/day/*" Shotwell is often able to access many cameras directly, or alternatively, after you mount the "camera" via file browser. But the shotwell version in Leap 42.3 is ancient and has many bugs. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
