up to now, there was only Plug'n'Play: You plugged your digital camera to your PC, played around with the software for some time, and, finally, you got your photos downloaded.
Now there is Plug'n'Load: You plug in your digital camera and your PC loads your photos automagically.
To get this install the "camdump" package from the Contribs. Then connect your camera and your photos get automatically loaded into /var/spool/camdump or whatever you enter in /etc/camdump. Copy /etc/camdump to ~/.camdump and define a personal directory (you must create it) and from now on you can also automatically load your confidential images. You can also call camdump from the command line (also with a destination directory as argument) or from the menues. Duplicate photos will not be loaded.
Please test and report.
Works only with cameras supported by libgphoto2! See list on http://n-dimensional.de/projects/digicam/software/snapshots/2003-08-10/SUPPORTED-CAMERAS
If your camera can be switched between PTP and USB storage, switch to PTP.
