Thanks Phil. That helps explain it.

Hi Richard,
Digital camera access from within Rev can get pretty confusing -
one camera works and another doesn't. When a camera presents itself
to the OS under the USB mass storage device class, Rev can see it
as a mounted volume. But when the camera presents itself under the
USB still image capture device class and uses Picture Transfer
Protocol (PTP) or some derivative to move images to your computer,
Rev can't see it, at least not natively. That's my best guess anyway.
Sounds like an opportunity to write a Rev PTP library! ;o) If you
do, I'll gladly show it off in my "Working with USB" session at
RunRevLive.
Some references:

Protocol):

Hope this helps -

Perhaps what I'm trying to do is impossible, or has to be done
some other way entirely.
MY COMPUTER (under XP) identifies the camera as "canon powershot
a410". If I double-click it, it opens to a window full of jpeg's
(as I'd expect it to). But going into Rev and doing the following
produces only "can't open directory" errors:
set the defaultfolder to ""canon powershot a410"; put the files
It doesn't matter if I put a colon after A410 or a colon and a
slash. I just get errors.
The problem may also be that all the photos on this camera are on
its SD card. Perhaps there's no way to get to them directly
through Rev?
Thanks.

How can I access a camera through Rev? I plugged in a Canon
Powershot camera (USB). It shows up in My Computer with its name,
but no volume number. THE VOLUMES function in Rev doesn't see it.
I suppose I could use the Registry, but I'm hoping for some other
approach. I need to be able to identify any camera plugged in via
USB without knowing the model in advance.
Thanks.
