Dear all,


I have read the chapter in the Fine Manual on tethering, but I have
an issue with the system capturing the camera before darktable can
assert itself. If I am lucky the icon for the attached camera appears
on my Linux Mint Desktop, then I can unmount the camera and get
darktable to mount it. It appears  in lsusb  as Easy Camera.

My best case scenario would be to make darktable the default, and the
heck with anything else. But that is beyond my skill level.

I am hoping to run a ZOOM meeting on Thursday night where a tethered
camera is required.


The easiest way is to wait to connect the camera until Darktable is
started and in case you need to work with the camera in another program
then disconnect the camera before starting Darktable.

The problem is that connecting a device to a program is like bluetooth
- when one device are connected connections to other devices are
   blocked. In technical terms these connections are 1 - 1.


Thanks Michael,

I have received this link which will answer my problem and probably 
minimise the issues when DT drops the connection

it involves adding a custom udev rule and using a script to activate it.

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for your contribution

I was testing my gear and initially the icon would appear on my desktop, 
but now it doesn't.


I had success with shooting tethered but darktable is still a bit flaky, 
so when it drops out the other process mounts, then I have to find the 
icon again and unmount that system manually. So I would rather be rid of 
the competitor. then when darktable drops all I have to do is hit the 
mount camera button in dt and I am back on track. I don't plug the 
camera in to upload my files, and I rarely shoot tethered, it is a sure 
fire way to slow down a session.
