Description Julien Narboux 2006-02-03 19:43:18 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

It would be easier to have the camera list displayed as a tree sorted by 
brand/camera.

Julien,

Libgphoto2 do not provide this way. The list is given is a flat list. Each item name merge Camera Make and Camera Model. There is no way to separate this easily.

I suggest to move this entry in Gphoto2 bugzilla as a wish. A new method must ba added in libgphoto2 to give an advanced list of Camera sorted by brand.

Comment 2 Mikolaj Machowski 2007-08-30 14:36:56 UTC 
But things could be much improved if there will be two entries on top of
list. If necessary coded by hand:

- UMS camera
- PTP camera

These two entries will handle 80-90% of cases and will be easy to find.

SVN commit 794681 by cgilles:

digiKam from KDE3 branch : added search text bar to easy find a camera make/model from the huge list provided by libgphoto2.
There is no way with libgphoto2 to separate camera make/model. These infomations are merged to a common string and it's impossible 
to short camera list by brand.
