No. I have an ancient Canon S10 Powershot. I recently test drove a more current XS10IS Powershot. Neither will "communicate" like a basic SCSI drive via USB nor connect without mucho OSS interface apps, despite the camera connection being detected.

There is no pointy-clicky. first .... display /path/to/some/image.ext then .... left-click on the displayed image A pointy-clickty menu is presented that includes a fairly nice set of available ImageMagick operations that can be applied to the image .... -- Stanley C.

Canon is about as locked down and proprietary as a camera can > be. Canon uses PTP in their cameras. That is a standardized protocol which is not locked down or proprietary. It is defined in the iso 15740 standard and it is well supported by opensource projects like gphoto and digikam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Transfer_Protocol regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

Viewing them in other window and writing the name of the ones i want in the terminal window is not really a solution. With digikam you can view them, and for the ones you need to do something you right-click and 'add to batch' - nice and easy. -- i.

Perhaps an inappropriate choice of words. > and it is well supported by opensource projects like gphoto and digikam. That's pretty much what I said. Most cameras require no such protocol for linux to simply mount the camera's storage media just like a USB card reader. nb |
