           Summary: Camera mount path should use KURLRequester

          Platform: unspecified

            Status: NEW

Version:           0.7.3-beta2 (using KDE 3.4.1 Level "a" , SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)

When adding a USB mass storage camera type, the user is expected to type in the camera's path. Would it not be easier to use KURLRequester here, so that the user can use the KDE file dialog to specify the cameras mount point?

(Also, the camera is listed as having the "Model" type "Directory Browse" - but KDE uses the term "Folder" not "Directory")

------- Additional Comments From renchi pooh tam uiuc edu  2005-06-08 19:53 -------
the "model" type is an internal name for the gphoto2 driver which deals with listing files from a mounted folder. this part was rewritten in 0.7.2 to use a native implementation for usb mass-storage cameras instead of using gphoto2. but for backward compatibility reasons we have to preserve the old model name.
