[Digikam-users] Sony DSC-S40 Cyber-shot

Replying to my own question here; a work around, I discovered, is to run digikam as root, or use sudo. Doesn't seem that elegant a way of doing things though. Is there a device file I should change the permissions of?

War is largely a matter of money. Bankers lend money to foreign countries 
and when they cannot repay, the President sends marines to get it. I 
know-I've been in eleven of these expeditions.
(General Smedley Butler of Pennsylvania, 1934.)
