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?

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

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 :)
