Download from camera limited to one image
Last modified: 2017-02-11 09:09:13 UTC
Robert Lee 2016-05-21 15:24:40 UTC I have found a way to download images, one at a time, from camera to GIMP. Create, Scanner/Camera, [select WIA- F:\(name), Select, Get pictures from F:\(name), (select photos), Get Pictures, Save. The automatically displayed "select WIA - F:(name)" name was "1.0(32-32)" and yielded one image, even though under "(select photos)" I included all 32 images. I tediously went back through the routine and eventually downloaded each of the 32 images. Apparently I would have needed to change (name) to include all images. How would I do this?

As many cameras connect as mass storage devices, we have no experience with those that don't - and we have no experience with TWAIN devices in general, otherwise the patches attached to bug 601821 and bug 357818 would have been applied already, and maybe you wouldn't have encountered that issue.

The automatically displayed "select WIA - F:(name)" name was "1.0(32-32)" and yielded one image," I suspect that the problem is with the "(name)". The '(name)" was "1.0(32-32)". Perhaps this "(name)" is interpreted as 1 image from the set of 32 images. If true, there must be a different "(name)" that would yield all 32 images in the Get Pictures request. Please suggest appropriate "(name)" input
