Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2009-07-06 22:13:47 UTC
Which digiKam and libgphoto2 versions you use exactly ? Go to Help/Components Info for details...

In case of Canon camera, driver is PTP from gphoto2.

So issue can be in gphoto2 or in digiKam gphoto2 interface.

Comment 2 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-08-01 12:44:07 UTC
First step to identify the location of the problem is downloading from the camera using the gphoto2 command line utility.

Which "menu item" do you mean? What is "simply nothing": Really no reaction at all? Showing the camera import window, but empty? Connection failed?
Please post the output on the console while trying to download. Ensure debug code 50003 is activated using kdebugdialog.
Comment 3 sebastian schmitt 2009-08-09 10:21:34 UTC

libgphoto2_port 0.8.0          gcc, ltdl, USB, serial without locking

i will try to get the camera again
Comment 4 Nate Weibley 2009-12-13 18:03:14 UTC
Same problem, same camera. Didn't find any other reports so I'm guessing it's a quirk with the 350D.

Can you provide the information requested above by Marcel?
Comment 6 Nate Weibley 2009-12-13 18:47:11 UTC
Yes. Downloading through gphoto2 command line worked properly (I simply downloaded the first 10 images: gphoto2 --get-file 1-10)



In digikam selecting Import->Cameras->Canon EOS 350D (auto detected) does absolutely nothing. The dropdown menu disappears like the item was selected properly, but nothing seems to happen. Nothing is output to the terminal via stdout or stderr, no windows or dialogs or anything are created. Error codes 50003-50006 were all enabled. 

Oddly I've never had a problem with downloading from this camera up until about 2 weeks ago.
Comment 7 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-12-17 20:46:02 UTC
Normally there should be a message "fillSolidMenus: Found Camera..." after plugging in the camera, and when successfully opening, ""Found camera from ids...", or when failing, "Failed to detect camera with GPhoto2 from Solid information". The latter is output with kError(), I remember this was broken recently in KDE.

Can you attach the output of "solid-hardware list details" and "gphoto2 --debug --auto-detect", both with the camera plugged in?

Looks like this is not only a 350D problem

For unknown reason, digikam stopped downloading images from Canon G9.

In solid-hardware list details, there must be two associated entries:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_686_401d_000060304225_if0'
  parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_686_401d_000060304225'  (string)

  vendor = 'Minolta Co., Ltd'  (string)
  product = 'DiMAGE Z1'  (string)

For the first one, please take the UDI and check the output from "solid-hardware nonportableinfo <UDI>":

  usb.vendor = 'Minolta Co., Ltd'  (string)
  usb.vendor_id = 1670  (0x686)  (int)

Here it is important to have the usb.vendor_id and the usb.product_id.

Comment 11 Serge Ratke 2010-04-27 20:05:19 UTC
some additional infos

digikam 1.2.0
qt 4.6.2
gentoo amd64
Comment 12 Serge Ratke 2010-04-27 20:21:05 UTC
fixed the problem by setting the gphoto2 USE flag, hence the libgphoto2 being pulled in ;o)
Comment 13 caulier.gilles 2010-04-30 13:20:11 UTC
You fix the problem to set Gphoto2 USE flag ? In source code ? Do you have a patch ?

Gilles Caulier
Comment 14 Serge Ratke 2010-04-30 19:43:00 UTC
no, it's a gentoo specific mechanism (see USE flags) to in-/exclude functionality. so i basically turned on the use of gphoto lib.
Comment 15 caulier.gilles 2011-08-04 13:41:20 UTC
So, i suppose it's a distro specific problem.
