[Digikam-devel] [Bug 144895] digikam crashes when dowloading from Kodak CX7300 camera

[Sergio]

Gilles,

Unfortunately that is not the case. The camera does not seem to be mounted
anywhere in the filesystem. As a matter of fact, I doubt it supports UMS at
all. At least, never did for me. OK, maybe I am wrong here.
The way I can acces my pictures now that digikam is not able any more, is
thru konqueror using the camera:/ protocol (no idea what that does in
reality :-).

For example, my camera is branched now and when I type "camera:/" in
konqueror the following path is available:
"camera://Kodak CX7300@[usb:1,5]/store_00010001/DCIM/100K7300" (my photos
are in this directory).

The only thing that seems to be appering in /dev dir is "/dev/usb/1/5"
(which in fact is my camera attached to the usb port). I noted that that
corresponds quite well with "[usb:1,5]" in konqueror's path. There is
nothing related ti the camera in /mnt or in /media.

As I pointed out in the bug report, the strange thing is that it worked fine
before (same camera, same version of SuSE, ok... with some packages
updated). The day I installed SuSE 10.0 digikam was one of the things that
worked straightforward.

I read in one of your other posts that you were talking about hotplug. I
know that my system is using udev for hotplugging and that the usb devices
are created with owner root and group usb. Permisson are set rw for both
owner and group. And my every-day-usage user is part of the usb group. As a
matter of fact I doubt it is a permission problem because I tried to run
digikam as root (thru kdesu) and I get the same error (same stack trace and
same message in the console).

Thanks for taking care of my problem. If you need more info, please let me
know.

Kind regards. Sergio
