Greetings; I have always treated my Olympus C3020z as a usb storage device, mounting it as /mnt/camera or in the case if FC6, /media/camera, from whereever it showed up in the logs when I plugged it in and turned it on. Lately its been a race to get the pix out of it before the thing did an auto-off because if you don't clean the battery contacts in the camera, and the batteries aren't above 1.48 volts, it won't live long enough to go through all the rigmarole it takes to get it mounted & copy the pix back out of it, keeping in mind it has the infamous vfat bug that causes all images beyond the current sector of the directory structure to disappear if all the files in that sector have been deleted. Anyway, I just screwed around with digikam this afternoon after seeing some glowing reports about it, long enough to kill two sets of AA cells, without getting digikam to actually access the camera, or display the thumbnails of the images already in the directory I had it pointed to. I wound up using mc as usual, to move the images to my hard drive, in reverse order of course. If digikam is so great, why does everything stay ghosted out regardless of what I do? The menu's apparently assume everything is preconfigured I guess, but they are not exactly intuitive, and no errors are ever reported ANAICT. Like when I selected my camera make & model from the list, and the usb dot is checked, does it report it can't scan '/', which isn't the path to the camera. And when I select "mounted camera" and verify by other means its mounted and visible, it still can't find it. So please, someone who is familiar with it, whats step one, which is to get it to see the 3GB of pictures in jpeg format that are already stored there in the path I give for the so called "album"? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
