[Digikam-devel] Detailed error reporting

[Will Stephenson]

Hi

I've just been troubleshooting a bug reported on an openSUSE forum[1], which 
seems due to missing write permission on the USB device.  The digikam error 
message is only "Check the camera is connected correctly and turned on".  I 
think it would be handy to have more detailed error reporting to make it easy 
(especially for distro people) to troubleshoot simple things like bad perms.

I had a quick look in  /usr/include/gphoto2/gphoto2-*-result.h and there are a 
number of useful error codes there that could be integrated in the interface 
of DKCamera to keep the existing layering.  Is anyone working on this 
already?  

Will
