Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources The camera chooser dialog should contain a search field, which would be a huge improvement. Currently you have to scroll through the huge list manually in order to find your camera model, which can be a pain :-P Thanks!
Sorry I didn't mention that I am talking about the kcmkamera module :-)
excuse me, but which camera do you look for? only serial cameras need to be looked up, the usb cameras are all autodetected.
Oh ok, I opened the kamera kcm module while my USB camera was not attached, so thats why I thought it would be a good idea to have a search field in that dialog. Imagine someone with a serial camera having to go through the whole list (which also contains USB camera which, as you said are detected automatically)
> camera chooser dialog should contain a search field Regardless of autodetection, adding a search field might still make sense from a UI perspective. Of course separating out serial cameras might also be an option. See also Bug 74553, which tracks improving grouping.
