[gentoo-user] [OT] how to mount IXUS 40?

[gentoo-user] [OT] how to mount IXUS 40?

[Andrew Gaydenko]

Hi,

'digikam' works fine with this digital Canon camera. Also I can insert 
an SD-card into a card-reader and mount it as ordinary flash-card. But
sometimes it is more handy to mount SD-card directly via camera's USB-port.
'/var/log/meassages' fragment is below.

Please, point me where to dig in.

Andrew

I don't want to say wrong things, but that's what I think:

Cameras, especially the ones from Canon speak a specific protocol which 
transfers files from the camera to your computer. Because of this you can't 
simply mount the card in your camera. It's rather necessary to use a card 
reader for this purpose, like you do, or to use gphoto which understands the 
camera specific protocol.

This camera uses PTP protocol. As I have found, the protocol is widely used
by many giant firms. And it's theoretically possible to represent some part
of this protocol as a mounted file system (and some [OT] OS does it).

Yeah, I didn't say it's impossible to do such things. But AFAIK not with 
linux.

I mean you can also see it this way: digiKam represents the pictures as a file 
system and you can drag and drop it and so on ;) It's also possible to write 
a plugin for e.g. rox-filer or other file managers to make use of gphoto.
