Version: 0.7.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs OS: Linux I have a Pentax Optio 330 which is set-up as a USB Mass Storage device. If I go to the Camera -> Directory Browse menu I am able to preview the images but when I try to download them it fails with "Failed to download file impgxxxx.jpg" I'm tring to download to; /mnt/data/Shared Pictures/Pictures The camera is mounted under; /mnt/camera I'm pretty sure this used to work with a previous version of digikam/Mandrake
run it from konsole and see if you see any warning messages

just making sure that you checked for the messages on the konsole :). Also, are the permissions ok for the destination folder /mnt/data/Shared Pictures/Pictures i.e. can you copy files to it.
Renchi Raju wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail] OK. I've had some success. The permissions are OK - rwx for ugo The problem seems to lie with the "Renaming Options" section in the browse window. If i check "Camera Provided Names" I can download OK. If i check "Custom Names" I can download OK. If i check "Custom Names" and "Add Sequence Number" I can download OK. If i check "Custom Names" and "Add camera provided date and time" I cannot download. (The "Prefix" field in all cases in empty) Hope that helps, Steve ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?

ah... that's useful. just below the item names in the camera preview listing, the names with which the files will be downloaded is listed (in light blue color). what do those names look like?

the example you provided has the sequence number added. can you provided the exact combination which prevents downloading?

The images appear OK in the browse window, with the correct dates/filenames but when I try to download it fails. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Can you make a screenshot of the dialog, with the 'advanced' part expanded and post it here?

i'm wondering if the long filename is what is preventing the files to be downloaded. what is the filesystem that you are downloading to? can you try to create an empty file in the /mnt/data/Shared Pictures/Pictures directory by trying to do: $ touch "/mnt/data/Shared Pictures/Pictures/20050723-19:10:28-0001.jpg"

its a limitation of the filesystem. i had a quick look at the filename characters allowed by FAT32 and it seems " / \ [ ] : ; | = , ^ * ? are not allowed. you can manually format the date by adding for eg: the following in the prefix box: prefix_%Y%m%d-%H-%M-%S (where prefix can be any text of your choice). you can read up the manpage of strftime to customize to your liking. since this is not a digikam bug, i'm closing this report.
