Yes - same version as me My Olympus C-745UZ works fine using the mass storage driver. > > I have noticed that, in almost every new version of digikan, > something that worked before, doesn't in the new version.

My Casio is one that is of the USB mass storage type (ie it doesn't need a special driver). If I set things up manually that works fine. What I am talking about is the automatic recognition when you plug them in. I know this thread is drifting towards the photo packages on kde or gnome, but I suspect the problem could be with the interaction with udev/hal and the application. Somewhere (and this is what I am finding hard to find) hal should have the device properties for the camera. It should know its a camera and that its has storage of type mass storage. Yet - if I do lshal | grep 'camera' when the camera is plugged I don't get any lines that match. That seems wrong - indeed, I sort of expect behind the scenes for hal to mount the device on /media/camera (or something similar - perhaps /media/sdg1, since /dev/sdg1 is the camera's picture partition). On the otherhand - kde knows to suggest digikam as a potential application, so its getting the fact it is a camera from somewhere There seems some random hal policy file in /etc/hal and some more what looks like configuration files in /usr/share/hal But I cant find any information about which is the right place for me to add the information about > > :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND & New Year :-) > > Wayne > > -- > DOS Tip #2: Add BUGS=OFF to your CONFIG.SYS > _______________________________________________________ -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
