If I recall correctly, if I connect my wife's camera directly to my Etch machine, I have to detect the camera from digikam's menus -- i.e. it isn't detected automatically. If you wish, I can verify this in a few minutes. However, I normally just insert the camera's SD card into my card reader connected to the computer via a USB cable. Using that external card reader makes reading the flash drives very easy (auto-detection, auto-mounting, etc.). ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
