Even more recently Picture transfer protocol is available, but that is a rather more variable feast from what I gather in terms of compatibility. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Transfer_Protocol Any camera supporting both of those is likely to "just work". Although on his old HP camera I think Matt has to enable the USB storage mode as PTP didn't work for some reason. Can't say for KDE, but GNOME handles the USB storage nicely, I think it has a list of Cameras somewhere, as somehow it figures out that the USB storage device is a camera and "does the right thing", rather than its old habit of just putting an icon on your desktop which opened as nautilus view of the photos and expected you to drag and drop them somewhere. Of course this is all based on experiments on other peoples kit, my Digital Camera is so old and proprietary I can't get pictures off it since I deleted the last version of MS Windows in the house. But if I cared, I'd buy a new camera. - The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
