Description Peter Albrecht 2007-11-02 16:25:44 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I use a 4GB CF card in my Canon EOS 400D. When the card is almost full (space left for something like 100 images, i.e. some 900 images stored on the card), digikam does not detect any images on the card. After deleting images from the card (using the camera's delete option), digikam works fine again.

I ran into this problem with digikam 0.8 and 0.9.2. If you need any more details, please let me know.

Thanks,

Peter

Peter,

This is certainly relevant of libgphoto2, not digiKam. Content of CF card is given by this lib, especially with Canon Camera.

Witch libgphoto2 version you use ?

I have libgphoto2-2.2.1.5.trunk-22 installed on openSUSE 10.2 and libgphoto2-2.1.99.0head-30.2
on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10. I had the same problem on both machines.

Regards,

Peter

Marcus,

What do you think about this report. Are you already hear something like from Gphoto2 users ?

Anybody in this room is able to reproduce this problem ? Thanks in advance...

all current released libgphoto2 version have a 1024 files in 1 directory limit.

It is likely he is triggering this limit.

Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2007-11-02 22:41:58 UTC

Marcus, 

Simple question : why this limitation ?

Gilles

Comment 6 Marcus Meissner 2007-11-02 22:43:52 UTC

historical. in 2002 as this fixed size array was introduced no one thought
about such a lot of images.


For the next libgphoto2 release we have removed this limit and made the allocations dynamic.

Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2007-11-02 22:53:36 UTC

Thanks Marcus.

Peter, this report is invalid about digiKam. Nothing can be done here...
