[gentoo-user] Gtkam getting on my nerves, again.

[Dale <rdalek1967@gmail.com>]

Howdy,

I use Gtkam to get pics from my Canon camera.  I already put up with the
fact that it crashes a LOT.  It really gets on my nerves but sort of
getting used to that.  Now I have a new issue.  When I tell it to save a
picture to say /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/Camera-pics/2013/Yard/ it
always saves them to /home/dale.  It does this regardless of what I have
asked it to save them too.  This used to work fine when I had this sort
of thing mounted on a directory called /data.  It would go something
like this:  /data/Camera-pics/2013/Yard/  That would work fine.  When I
got my shiney new 3Tb drive, I moved all that over to my home directory
and ever since then, Gtkam saves to the wrong place. 

I have changed the permissions for /home/dale and EVERYTHING under it
but still get the same thing.  I'm 99% sure it is not a permissions
issue.  This is what permissions look like:

drwxrwxr-x 27 dale users     4096 Dec  9  2009 2009
drwxrwxr-x 37 dale users     4096 Nov 16  2011 2010
drwxrwxr-x 31 dale users     4096 Dec 30  2011 2011
drwxrwxr-x 20 dale users     4096 Nov 12 01:20 2012
drwxrwxr-x  4 dale users     4096 Jan 30 03:00 2013

[ebuild   R   ~] media-gfx/gtkam-0.2.0  USE="debug nls -gimp -gnome"

This is likely not Gtkam itself but some helper program.  What could
cause this?  Anyone else run into this?

While I'm at it, I have tried other programs too. DigiKam crashes when I
try to connect to my Camera to download.  It can't even think about
getting pics. 

Thoughts?

Dale
