GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 172731
Add --import-photos comand line arg
Last modified: 2006-02-20 08:02:24 UTC
Add an argument so f-spot opens right into the import from camera dialog. This would be handy with gnome-volume-manager, so f-spot can launch automatically when a camera is plugged in. Other information:
Actually f-spot almost has this feature whith the "--import" parameter. To use this with your camera try this: 1. Connect the camera 2. Run: gphoto2 --auto-detect My output is this, notice the port number: Model Port ---------------------------------------------------------- Canon Digital IXUS 50 (PTP mode) usb: Canon Digital IXUS 50 (PTP mode) usb:003,008 3. Try to import in f-spot with the port number: f-spot --import gphoto2:usb:003,008 If this works, add that line in 3 to gnome-volume-manager. Hopefully this becomes easier ;)
Yeah, for a one off situation that works. However, I am doing this for the Foresight Linux distro. The goal being it just works for everyone :)
Created attachment 51638 [details] script to make importing work seamlessly with gnome-volume-manager if you use this script and put "f-spot-import %h" in the gnome-volume-manager camera command all should be well.

Is this bug resolved then?
As this is actually quite useful (with most distributions using HAL nowadays), why doesn't this ship with f-spot?
Ruben, the main reason is that I want to move the functionality in the script into the core of f-spot but when I did I ran into some nasty dbus/hal problems. So I'm hoping to fix those and make the script obsolete. On the other hand there is no particular reason the script couldn't be added until then I guess.
ok the script is in cvs, call "f-spot-import %h" from gnome-volume-manager to import from a specific udi.
