Description Edgar DSouza 2006-01-06 04:21:54 UTC
Version:           0.7.4 (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" , SUSE 10.0)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15-smp

Using the camera dock with the Kodak DX7590.
I've chosen (KDE config) to open digital camera devices with digikam. It opens fine when I hit the 'Transfer' button on the camera dock.
Digikam loads fine, and when I select the camera on the camera menu, opens the Download dialog.
Thumbnails are displayed fine in this dialog.
However, when I click one of the JPGs, or select and try to download, digikam gives me a "Failed to download <nnn>.JPG" error messagebox. The camera LED continues flashing. Repeatedly clicking 'Try Again' on the error messagebox does not help. Closing digikam and reopening does not help. I need to lift the camera off the dock, breaking the USB connection, and re-start the transfer by pressing the dock's Transfer button again. Despite multiple tries, though thumbnails are displayed fine, at no point have I succeeded in actually downloading a picture to my hard disk.

Additional info:
- gtkam fails to run, citing a missing .so file, and I don't know where to get that one from.
- Have not tried command-line gphoto tools since I would prefer to preview, transfer selected photos, and delete rest from camera's SD card.
- Thought this problem might be a timeout since I had an almost-full 512MB SDMMC card on the cam; so I removed the card, took a couple of snaps which went to the cam's internal 16MB memory, and the above observations are with only 3 snaps (@5.1MP, Standard compression, if that's relevant) on the cam's internal storage.
- Also thought that maybe the camera dock was causing a problem, so connected the camera directly at the other end of the USB cable. No joy.

Thanks...

I had the same problem with my Kodak v550. It has been fixed, see this bug report:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109277
There is a Suse rpm with the fix applied so update your libgphoto2  version.
This problem is caused by files on the camera which have no EXIF data. They can be removed, see this: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1011&message=16395845
(If you leave them on the camera they will be appear in your albums every time you do a download).
