Yes, the camera is PTP. I have the Canon PowerShot S3 IS myself and went the following way: I remove the SD card from the camera and use the internal reader of my machine. :-) Instead of using Gtkam, a GUI application, you will be happy being able to use a non-interactive way, provided by gphoto2. You can even automate copying with (or without) deleting the photos. The gphoto2 program also has a good manpage. Oh, and check if the camera provides a menu entry to select which "personality" it will come up with when connected to USB. Some cameras have the ability to be either a PTP compatible (use gphoto2 and gtkam) or DA compatible (use mount_msdosfs). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
