DarkTable. I shoot (almost) everything in RAW anyway, and DarkTable handles RAW very nicely. I've never used the "copy from camera" feature in DarkTable.
C. I guess it's a matter of habit, but I prefer just plugging in the USB cable. I also think that connector is more resistant to wear-and-tear
Photo management... I was using GPhoto, but I've switched entirely to than the Micro-SD card and the plastic flap. The transfer is very snappy (Nikon D5200), no speed problems so far. Anton, thanks for the gphotoFS tip, it worked quite well, although I ran into to trouble once I wanted to view anything. The default gwenview is launched, but from a temp-copy, so you can't just skip back and forth within gwenview. I have to say, I would much prefer the oldfashioned built-in viewer in konqueror. Also, I don't see any FUSE mounted filesystem with gphotofs ? There is a "camera:" uri, but 'df' shows no mounted filesystem. I'm about to try out Darktable, I'll be back ...
+1 for gphoto download/upload from camera devices. Command-line is simple and flexible. The only issue (not with gphoto, but usb in general) is that the usb hub will hang at times leaving the usb camera interface locked. I've used the attached usbreset.c to reset the hub. It works about 80% of the time -- the other 20%, you just have to reboot :( Usage (usbreset): gcc -Wall -o usbreset usbreset.c Get the Bus and Device ID of the USB device you want to reset: $ lsusb <snip> Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0fe9:9010 DVICO Run usbreset with root permissions changing <Bus> and <Device> as needed $ sudo ./usbreset /dev/bus/usb/<Bus>/<Device> (e.g. from above): $ sudo ./usbreset /dev/bus/usb/002/003 -- David C.
