           Summary: Support for Tethered shooting (transfer new images
                    directly to the PC via e.g. USB)
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Import
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: simon.eu at gmail.com


Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

gphoto2 supports tethered shooting with the option --capture-tethered. This is
usually used when the Cam is connected to a PC with a (longer) USB cable; The
images taken will be transferred to the PC directly and can be viewed in higher
resolution (and by more people).

As gphoto2 only downloads the image, there are some scripts around which also
display incoming images, like this one:

But for digikam users it would certainly be more convenient to simply use
digikam for this :)

I guess digikam can not or does not want to rely on gphoto2, but I also guess
that it sould be easy to test for its existance on runtime?

Anyway, would be great to see this in digikam! :)

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.36-1.slh.2-aptosid-amd64
