1. I'm a new user of digicam. My camera is HP Photo Smart C200
Now the description of my problem follows:
As I started the program the first time logged in as normal user, my cam wasn't found by autodetect. Manual addition from the camera-list was possible, but I ccouldn't set the serial port it is connected to. Each try to access the cam failed.
Logged in as root autodetect also failed, but manual addition worked. I can download pictures and do all the things I want to do under normal user account.
I've tried several things to get it work as normal user. First I added the cam in KDE Control Center, where I also could specify the serial port, but digicam didn't change its behaviour. Even the addition of my user account to group root and set this as standard group didn't allow functionally setup of my cam. Now I have no more idea to get a working setup.
On startup digicam loads 14 KIPI-Plugins, I don't have any other programs running when I use digicam (except programs started during login process), allthough my machine has 512MB RAM installed and works with 1GB swap.
