Kubuntu Dapper -- Digital Cameras?

[Michael B. Trausch]

Just a quickie -- has anybody seen any issues with digital camera support in
the as-yet-unreleased Dapper? Does anybody know off-hand if this is a
known issue at all? I haven't had the time (yet) to go hunting around for
it, I'm just curious.

Thanks,
Mike

In order to fetch pictures from my brothers Canon Ixus 500 (which
isn't a regular usb mass storage) I had to install digikam (maybe the
mentioned plugins are the real heroes):

Description: digital photo management application for KDE
Digikam is an easy to use and powerful digital photo management
application, which makes importing, organizing and manipulating,
tagging and searching digital photos a "snap". An easy to use
interface is provided to connect to your digital camera, preview
the images and download and/or delete them.

I had tried that... and it works... sort of. I'd really like for the
full "plug and work" thing to happen, though, and I know that while I can
work around it, most end-users aren't going to want to. Since Dapper is
going to be around for a long time and supported, it's an unpolished edge.
I'll check the tracker later and see if it's not reported, and if it isn't,
I'll report it.

All I can say is my Canon Powershot S80 is recognised as a USB PTP class
camera just fine in Gnome (Ubuntu Dapper beta 2 plus updates)

Hi MIke ,
I had to download and install f-spot to get it to recognize my fuji film
camera. But it works great with that program.

I'll take a look into it. Looks like it pulls in GNOME as a dependency,
though... :-/

If you want to avoid GNOME dependency, check out digikam, which is
KDE/Qt-based.
