Hello,
is there any progress on this report? The way gphoto2 behaves is quite
obviously wrong:
--list-files hands out a list of Number-filename pairs.
both --get-file and --delete-file expect these *numbers* as argument.

"--get-file 15" works "--delete-file 15" does not.

The following changes could be made to get consistent behavior.
----------
#1. Change --get-file and --delete-file to use filenames (with path)
as argument.

#2 Change --delete-file to work. 
----------

#1 is probably not doable as it breaks backwards compability. Afaict
#2 would be done by setting -R to yes by default. (Internally, as
pointed out previously "recurse" has no meaning for a command that
does not deal with paths.)

In case these arguments are not striking for you please apply the
attached patch to the manpage.
         thanks, cu andreas
