Well, it seems to be working with f-spot. It's transferring the files now.
It's a little weird because it shows up in my KDE System Settings under the "Advanced > Digital Camera" area, but that area doesn't actually provide a way to get at the images. I'm guessing this is a KDE thing (correct me if I'm wrong), but it creates an ioslave (and I must admit I don't really know what an ioslave is) at "camera:/" that you can access from konqueror or dolphin. But when I go there in either app, the camera shows up but clicking on it yields no images, just something resembling an empty directory. Why would f-spot be able to read it when the KDE system couldn't, even though it sees the device? Is that a driver issue? Also, from Levi's comment I guess I'm just learning that all usb cameras aren't set up to act like usb storage devices that you can just mount on the filesystem. So that means that "digital camera" can be a separate category of device that you need individual drivers for, versus "usb storage device", but not always? Am I understanding this right?
