Right. This is a problem in Gphoto2 i think. I can reproduce this problem in 
my computer with my Dynax 5D in PTP mode. Perhaps a right access with current 
user to USB device link or something like that.

I will investiguate.

Richard, please check in B.K.O (bugzilla of KDE) if there is an entry about 
this subject and post your comments at this place. Mailing isn't the right 
place to store problems history. If there is no right entry, please make a 
new one.

Thanks in advance
