images from digital camera (solved)

[pirate]

what does kde 4 have that works in place of gthumb import photos and gthumb image viewer?

What kind of a camera do you use?  The reason I ask is this.  Some like digicam for importing photos.  When I hook my Nikon's up to the pc or laptop they show up as Nikon USB devices.  I just copy and paste folder of photos to /home/Cindy/Pictures

When they are done downloading I safely remove the device and shut it off.  One of the best digital editing tools or apps I've found is ShowFoto.  It's a very well made application that does professional quality editing of the photos I take.

Hope that helps.

I bought this for my granddaughter (15) she uses pclos ..this is from beta2



the camera works in gnome beta with gthumb import photos, but she uses kde beta2

try digicam then, or if you are brave, and picasa is still around.  LOL.  I just do it the 'hard way' I suppose yet it is sooooo easy for me to copy and paste a folder.

digicam recognizes the camera but i have failed to find any pictures on the camera yet..

it could be i just don.t know what i am doing
been on this all day

Maybe you can find instructions some where?  Like HELP?  I didn't like the way it automatically set up folders for me, as I have a specific way of doing that.  date, camera.  I know what month, day and year I took the photos, and which camera I used before going in the folder.  I still like my D70s.

I just have a Kodak 743 but Digicam found it and I was able to download images and movie clips without any issues.

Notifications - Devices recently plugged in showed USB storage device - but I don't seem able to download images directly from there - it brings up Digicam.
I'm seeing no camera directory getting mounted in /mnt or/media - nor any option to do so.

I tried "Desktop Settings" - "Advanced User Settings" - Camera. Camera is identified and I can test - but no joy on accessing pics that way.
Strangely I can pull the 2 gig SD card from the camera, put it into my old MP3 player, plug in and the card gets mounted just fine.
