[opensuse] copying photos from iPhone to Leap 42.3
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? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for the pointer. I was wondering if there was some easy way to access the files. I use KDE, but Dolphin does not seem to access my iPhone. I'm probably just missing some obvious bit. Thunar works on KDE. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

gphoto2 - our own Marcus Meissner is intimately familiar with the utility - and it works quite well. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You should be able to just plug the phone, open the file browser, and open the phone. No need to install anything.

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)
