Can you test it on another Linux machine?
It worked fine on the same machine when I was running windoze. I don't have another linux box, so can't test it that way. I do have another digital camera (different manufacturer) so I could try that. Sorry about not doing that before hand. Thanks for prodding my brain cells. I'll report back later on that.
The other camera is a Poloroid Fun! 320 (serial). Set it up on /dev/ttyS0, and it tested fine in Yast, and also in gtkam. I also tried other serial ports, but the tests were unsuccessful (unable to initialize camera). I can take a hint, so I left it alone on ttyS0. gtkam came up with a list of 240 photos, no thumbnails. Could not save, or delete them. I closed down gtkam and restarted, and it listed 7 photos. There are only 4 on the camera. When trying to save a photo, I got an error window that said: Corrupted data: Could not get 'PDC3200001.jpg' from folder '/'. When trying to delete it says: You have been trying to delete 'PDC3200001.jpg' from folder '/', but the filesystem does not support deletion of files. I did a file search for these photos while the camera was still plugged in, and found nothing on the entire drive, not even in /tmp!?! Wierd thing!!! I dumped the camera from Yast and gtkam and set it up again in both. Yast tested fine again, but gtkam said 'no camera detected'. So I tried all the Polaroid cameras, one at a time. 3 tested fine in Yast, but nothing was detected in gtkam! I can't set up the Polaroid in gtkam again. I tried to do the same thing with the Agfa (USB), but all other models listed were serial. I even tried the full setup, with my camera model, again on two other USB ports. Nothing! Same as original.
