Description Alex Valavanis 2009-12-25 15:55:39 UTC 
** Forwarding bug from Ubuntu @ Launchpad.  Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot/+bug/191316 for full details **

Binary package hint: f-spot

The automatic importing from F-spot 0.4.1 does not work with my Nikon D80 firmware 1.10 (jan '08) This firmware enables MTP/PTP protocol and Vista compliance.
F-spot first displays a window camera selection:

Nikon DSC D80 (PTP mode) port USB:
Nikon DSC D80 (PTP mode) port USB:006,010 (last number incrementing with connection of camera)

When I choose either of these, I get:

Error connecting to camera
received error 'unspecified error' while connecting to camera.

Gthumb is able to download the images correctly with the same camera-setting (MTP/PTP) but the preference of Ubuntu is to start F-spot when connecting a camera.

f-spot is not under active development anymore, has not seen code changes for five years, and saw its last tarball release in the year 2010.
Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
