Whereas GUI photo apps work good in the darkside, we're lacking in Gentoo. For my Canon EOS 20D this script is great: mingdao@workstation ~ $ cat scripts/transfer-photos.sh #!/bin/bash mount /Canon-EOS rsync -av /Canon-EOS/dcim/ /photos/ umount /Canon-EOS There is a directory /photos/, and the following in /etc/fstab: LABEL=EOS_DIGITAL /Canon-EOS vfat noauto,users,rw,gid=1000,dmask=0002,fmask=0113,shortname=lower 0 0 Works great here.
