[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 74279] Re: error importing photos in ptp mode

[Paul Crawford]

It looks like this is not a F-spot error, but a libgphoto2 one. I tried installing gthumb and it can't read the D300s camera either. It reports "An error occurred in the io-library ('Unspecified error'): No error description available".
What is also interesting is that the trick of having both CF and SD cards installed in the D300s is not a real fix - it allows you to load F-spot when it auto-detects the camera (though you get an error message), but if you don't launch F-spot initially, you can't access the camera by gthumb or by trying F-spot later.

Bug description:
With a Nikon D200 camera, f-spot recognizes the camera but issues an undefined error when trying to retrieve the photos in ptp mode. In USB mass storage mode, everything goes fine.

The error messages are the following:

Error GeneraError: LibGPhoto2.GPhotoException: Erreur indéfinie
  at LibGPhoto2.CameraFilesystem.ListFiles (System.String folder, LibGPhoto2.Context context) [0x00000]

Nota: gphoto2 -P command works fine in PTP mode
