Description _ 2004-12-27 19:03:16 UTC 
Version:           0.7 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.3 
OS:                Linux

Today I added a camera via digikam and it does not show up in the kcontrol camera module.
Comment 1 Renchi Raju 2004-12-27 22:14:15 UTC 
digiKam has no relation to the kcontrol camera control module (kamera).
Comment 2 _ 2004-12-27 22:16:10 UTC 
OK but then, what does the Kamera do?
Comment 3 Renchi Raju 2004-12-27 22:22:41 UTC 
kamera provides a virtual filesystem, using which any kde app which is kio aware can browse, copy files on the camera. digiKam makes use of its own subsystem to access cameras
Comment 4 _ 2004-12-27 22:31:24 UTC 
So will digiKam use kamera sometime?
Comment 5 Renchi Raju 2004-12-27 22:36:06 UTC 
no. there is no need to. digiKam's libgphoto2 interface is well-tested, stable, customized for digiKam and allows certains things (like viewing the exif information, without actually downloading the file) which kamera doesn't let you do
