No. gphoto2 is the CLI application for using libgphoto2. gtkam is the GUI application for using libgphoto2. > So, gtkam pulled in libgphoto2 but should it also pull in gphoto2? No. Both gtkam and gphoto2 depend on the libgphoto2 library.

I would do some simple series of dd read/write tests to see how the flash c= ard=20 of the camera behaves compared to other USB devices. If there is a=20 significant difference then the problem is probably device/hardware related= ,=20 rather than the application you use to access it with. Make sure you do not unplug it in haste. It takes time for the I/O buffer = to=20 empty when you are writing to it, despite what your terminal/GUI is telling= =20 you. If you have Gkrellms keep an eye on the Disk access to see when it=20 finished doing it and then unmount it cleanly. I know you know all this, b= ut=20 having been impatient myself and losing data I'd rather repeat it here, jus= t=20 as a cautionary tale. ;-) =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1776839.51pMvfSH4f Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAlENSgYACgkQVTDTR3kpaLaKiACgvFINQo3Y1fOt+SnlHpkJ8RQz S4QAoM8LOAdIdB+OhN+fjnet8AJGunSQ =QMPU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1776839.51pMvfSH4f--
