Nick much appreciate that, however I think it is a bit of a long winded way to download some photos.
Can I not set it up so it just detects and shows the camera as a device when I plug it in? -----Original Message----- From: Nick Rout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 06, 2006 4:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: A610 camera canon On Sat, 06 May 2006 14:31:45 +1200 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > You are right Nick it was my camera, sorry for the delay > here is the results > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] gphoto2 --auto-detect > Model Port > ---------------------------------------------------------- > USB PTP Class Camera usb: > USB PTP Class Camera usb:001,004 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Excellent, same as my Canon S2 IS. Now do the following: make a directory to put some pictures in: cd (to get to your home directory) mkdir pics (make a directory to put your pics in) cd pics (change to the new directory) gphoto2 --list-files (lists the files on the camera, on mine the output is like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/media $ gphoto2 --list-files There are no files in folder '/'. There is one file in folder '/special': #1 theme.dat There are no files in folder '/store_00010001'. There are no files in folder '/store_00010001/DCIM'. There are no files in folder '/store_00010001/DCIM/100CANON'. There are no files in folder '/store_00010001/DCIM/101CANON'. There are no files in folder '/store_00010001/DCIM/102CANON'. There are 13 files in folder '/store_00010001/DCIM/103CANON': #2 IMG_0320.JPG 634 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #3 IMG_0321.JPG 535 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #4 IMG_0322.JPG 542 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #5 IMG_0324.JPG 577 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #6 IMG_0325.JPG 736 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #7 IMG_0326.JPG 670 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #8 IMG_0327.JPG 565 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #9 IMG_0328.JPG 632 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #10 IMG_0329.JPG 609 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #11 IMG_0331.JPG 684 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #12 IMG_0332.JPG 633 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #13 IMG_0333.JPG 714 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg #14 IMG_0334.JPG 591 KB 2048x1536 image/jpeg There are no files in folder '/store_00010001/MISC'. There are no files in folder '/store_00010001/SNDR'. There are no files in folder '/store_80000001'. You can now get all the files that are on the camera like this: gphoto2 --get-all-files This can be abbreviated to gphoto2 -P (quicker to type) or you can download them individually by using the number to the left on the above printout, eg to get the one labelled #3: gphoto2 -p "3" --filename (thanks to Barry for posting those commands, I didn't know you could use the -p "3" invocation, I always tried the full filename which is more to type!) Now gtkam is supposed to be a front end to gphoto2 but I can't tell you about that until it finishes installing :) -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
