It also has library packages that can be used by other programs. "gphoto2 -L" will give you a listing in a terminal. You may need to specifiy which device if it finds more than one, using --port, --camera or --usbid after identifying it with --auto-detect. Once you have gotten there you can download all into the current directory with "gphoto2 -P" or specify a range of images you want with "gphoto2 -p<start>-<end>" (replacing "start" and "end" with the image numbers identified in the -L command above). > That said, I haven't used these in a few years, so the answer above may > not be perfect. > > On Sat 2022-01-08 15:10:56 -0500, Shawn H Corey wrote: > > Usually I just plug the camera into a USB port and Linux treats it as > > another drive. > > The kernel itself doesn't since it doesn't convert PTP or MTP USB > endpoints as block devices or filesystems, but if you run a desktop > environment as I suspect you do, the already installed gvfs-mtp or > gvfs-gphoto2 do make a FUSE filesystem. Right. Depending on your distro, it may show up as something like /run/media/$userid/$devicename This all assumes you are plugging your camera in via USB. You could also pull the card from your camera and either stick it directly into your computer via a card slot (all 4 laptops here have SD slots that can be used with microSD with an adaptor) or via a USB media card adaptor something like this where it will show up as a regular USB hard drive: https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=11_171&item_id=117241 The easiest way is likely to have the gvfs extensions installed so that the camera will simply show up in your favourite file browser automounted when you plug in the camera with a USB cable. slainte mhath, RGB -- Richard Guy Briggs -- ~\ -- ~\ <hpv.tricolour.ca> <www.TriColour.ca> -- \___ o \@ @ Ride yer bike!
