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.
I found something called ifuse and installed that. I plugged in the phone to a USB port and clicked Allow on the dialog the phone presented asking permission for the PC to access stuff.
Leap asked me whether I wanted to open a file manager for the device, so I said yes and it opened PCManFM, and in the list of places at the left it showed an ejectable filesytem for the phone, but no photos and I couldn't figure how to access them.
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.
So I went back to PCManFM but now it isn't even showing the phone's filesystem! Help!
Can anybody tell me the best way to copy the photos from the phone, or point me to some simple but complete instructions?
Never mind. I used Thunar instead and just copied them across with no bother :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
