That's what I thought.

Well, I actually installed 2.2.1 rather than 2.3.1 and, as with 2.4.0, 
the gphoto command line functions all worked, except that it identified 
the camera as "PTP/IP Camera" rather than by name (possibly because the 
400D was not available when 2.2.1 was released?).

So, in digikam I had to use PTP/IP rather than EOS 400D and exactly the 
same thing happened, except that digikam didn't crash with a SIGSEGV 
when I closed the Camera window.

Error in console after trying to List Folders:

digikam: Failed to get folders list from camera!
digikam: Libgphoto2 error: Unspecified error (-1)

So it does appear that the problem is in digikam - or maybe the 
interaction between digikam and gphoto?

I can't see it being an OS-related problem as I haven't updated the OS 
since 27/10/2007 and I was definitely getting photos off the camera 
after that date.

Any ideas?

Could I reinstall digikam 0.9.2 or am I likely to have problems with 
differences in the database?
