Description Ruben Vermeersch 2006-03-22 10:57:27 UTC

Hi, I am currently unable to import from my S2 using f-spot. I'm running f-spot from CVS on ubuntu dapper.

Running "gphoto2 --auto-detect -P" does manage to import my pictures.

f-spot gives the following console output:

A fix for this problem has been committed in gthumb 2.7.5.1 (a minor release which basically fixes just this).

Here's what they did:
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gthumb/2.7/gthumb-2.7.5-2.7.5.1.diff.gz

Comment 2 Ruben Vermeersch 2006-04-01 14:03:23 UTC

Seems like this happens when trying to read the /special/ folder:

Testing gphoto path = usb:004,005
PortInfo Universal Serial Bus, usb:004,005

workaround

This is the workaround I'm currently using. I suspect this is something with libgphoto, but gthumb does manages to import from the camera.

I'm seeing this as well, although this should be marked a duplicate of Bug 326860.
