Description Borys Musielak 2004-12-27 19:47:21 UTC
Version:           0.7 (using KDE 3.3.1,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-2)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-1-k7

My Photon 41 camera, recognized as Concord EyeQ 4330 stopped working after digikam upgrade.
Before it could not generate thunmnails, but the pictures could be downloaded from the camera w/o problems.
Now, a few thumbnails occur (others don't) but I cannot save any of the images!
The error occurs: Cannot download file: xxxx.jpg (for all images, even those I can see thumbnails of).
The previous version of gphoto2 and digikam was the one from debian sarge (I upgraded to SID recently).

Can you upgrade to the newest beta?

I usually install debian packages - don't want to mess around with combining
packages and source installations.
The latest digikam in sid doesn't work with my camera.
I just downgraded to the sarge version (0.6.2) and my camera works
(without thumbnails but who cares) so I'm fine with it now.

BTW: Is there a way to recognize my camera properly as Photon 41?
It would look much nicer to someone new to linux - first when I noticed
Concord Eye.... I thought it messed sth up and almost haven't tried
to even try using it.
But I know it's hard to get info on all available cameras, it's
just a thought. Pentagram Photon 41 is produced in Poland by a company 
called
Multimedia Vision.

did you have to upgrade libgphoto2 while upgrading digiKam. probably, the old libgphoto2 allowed you to download the pictures, but not see the thumbnails and the new one allowed you to download the thumbnails, but not the pictures. can you check with command-line-gphoto2 and/or gtkam if you are able to download the pictures with the newer digiKam installed.

regarding the camera not being auto-detected correctly, digiKam just reports what libgphoto2 detected the camera as. many manufactures use the same usb identifier as other cameras and libgphoto2 is not able to distinguish between the different cameras and will list it as the first camera which matches the usb identifier.

Sorry for not responding.
I confifmed the bug today. It's not the libgphoto issue. I tried both 
older and newer gphoto2
console frontends and in both versions file listing, getting thumbnails 
and getting
actual images worked just fine.

Still, in the latest Digikam, all file info is retrieved successfully. 
Thumbnails show up, but
when I try to download the image it refuses to do so.

In the previous digikam version ONLY downloading worked. No file info 
could have been
retrieved, no thumbnails as well.

Hope this information helps in resolving the bug.
If you need any more info, I'll be happy to provide it.
