hi.
recently, i have got a small digital camera -- "Acer Digital Camera 300mini", and i tried to work with it under my SuSE 8.0
Please set your clock.

I had trouble with my Kodak DC-4800 with camera:/ in Konqueror - it basically didn't work at all. My camera was also a tad flaky with gphoto2 but useable, however, I could only download one photo at a time, and there was no command recall mode with gphoto2 --shell. The one app that works perfectly for me is gtkam. You might consider trying it out, and perhaps it will work for you also.

When I bought my Digital Camera, I very specifically specified either Compact Flash or Smart Media for the specific reason that I could get a reader for those. I chose a Canon Sure Shot S3 at a pretty decent price. On 16 Jul 2002 at 23:11, Andy Stewart wrote:

I have a similar problem. My Kodak DC265 can view files in Camera:/ but that is all. On the command line in a terminal, gphoto2 will dowload the files and do everything you would normally expect. It would be nice to do this in Konq. Brian Marr On Friday 05 July 2002 08:44, Vitaly Shishakov wrote:
