[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 191316] Re: Fspot reports error for importing Nikon D80

[Paul Crawford]

I posted a bug report for gphoto2 here
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108874&aid=3004614&group_id=8874
and get the reply that the underlying reason is the gnome gvfs-gphoto2
-volume-monitor.

Sure enough, if I attach the D300s I can't open it with F-spot, but on
killing gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor it all then works as I can import
photos from the PTP mode camera. However, the patch and behaviour
mentioned in the gphoto2 forum is not enough to explain why this is
camera-specific. Any ideas?

Fspot reports error for importing Nikon D80

You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

Status in Personal photo management for the GNOME desktop: Unknown
Status in “f-spot” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
Binary package hint: f-spot

The automatic importing from F-spot 0.4.1 does not work with my Nikon D80 firmware 1.10 (jan '08) This firmware enables MTP/PTP protocol and Vista compliance. 
F-spot first displays a window camera selection:

Nikon DSC D80 (PTP mode) port USB:
Nikon DSC D80 (PTP mode) port USB:006,010 (last number incrementing with connection of camera)

When I choose either of these, I get:

Error connecting to camera
received error 'unspecified error' while connecting to camera.

Gthumb is able to download the images correctly with the same camera-setting (MTP/PTP) but the preference of Ubuntu is to start F-spot when connecting a camera.
