When adding a USB mass storage camera type, the user is expected to type in the camera's path. Would it not be easier to use KURLRequester here, so that the user can use the KDE file dialog to specify the cameras mount point?

(Also, the camera is listed as having the "Model" type "Directory Browse" - but KDE uses the term "Folder" not "Directory")
Comment 1 Renchi Raju 2005-06-08 19:53:34 UTC 
the "model" type is an internal name for the gphoto2 driver which deals with listing files from a mounted folder. this part was rewritten in 0.7.2 to use a native implementation for usb mass-storage cameras instead of using gphoto2. but for backward compatibility reasons we have to preserve the old model name.

In digikam from svn trunk, the "Mounted Camera" path use KURLRequester now. I close this file.
