Description Thomas Bettler 2005-01-23 18:19:27 UTC 
Version:           0.7.1 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.3.4 
OS:                Linux

steps to reproduce:
1. open the camera gui (camera -> canon ...)
2. right click an image -> EXIF information
3. I only get empty information windows

- using libgphoto2 2.1.5
- with canon ixus 40 via usb ptp
Comment 1 Renchi Raju 2005-01-23 21:11:42 UTC 
Is you libgphoto2 compiled with libexif support. If yes, are you able to access the exif information using commandline gphoto2 or gtkam
Comment 2 Thomas Bettler 2005-01-23 21:15:12 UTC 
yes, it's compiled with exif support, but it just doesn't work in camera gui (prewiew).
Because there is this option in the menu I expect it to work.

If not, please delete this menu entry. Therefore I filed this bug.
Comment 3 Renchi Raju 2005-01-23 21:19:54 UTC 
are you able to access the exif information using gtkam and/or commandline gphoto2   (for eg, using  
gphoto2 --show-exif 1 --camera "Canon Digital IXUS 40 (PTP mode)" )
Comment 4 Thomas Bettler 2005-01-23 21:33:12 UTC 
OK, neither gphoto gets me info, so its not digikams fault.

either its the ixus or gphotos fault.

ouput below:

~ $ gphoto2 --show-exif 1 --camera "Canon Digital IXUS 40 (PTP mode)"
