Description Stefan Behlert 2005-08-26 14:37:06 UTC

The Kodak DX 7590 has an SD-card and can be connected using USB to the Laptop. 
If you want to copy some files from the cam to the desktop, it takes ages: 
Open a konqueror-window, connect to the camera using "camera:/", go to the 
right directory on the cam, mark all, select 'copy to' from the menue 
available with right button click. 
It looks like two scans are done for copying: 
first one through all pictures, taking quite some time, where it is not clear 
what is done, and than a second one for the copying. 
Copying some hundred files is taking ages. 
Taking the card out of the cam and reading it with a normal cardreader 
(connected with USB to the laptop) is a hundred times faster. 
I am not usre if it is possible to speed it up, but it would be nice if at 
least a message would appear for the user what is happening.

yes, it is slow ... mostly due to the natuer of this kamera client.  
  
in this case switch to "digikam" I think...  have to talk with coolo regarding 
this.

cant fix for 10.0 ... :/

Comment 3 Marcus Meissner 2006-01-20 22:54:54 UTC

still have to rewrite the ptpfs in libgphoto2. where to find the time :(

Comment 4 Stefan Behlert 2006-02-22 16:24:31 UTC

So no fix in 10.1? :(

Comment 5 Marcus Meissner 2006-02-22 16:26:11 UTC

I am afraid not.

I recommend digikam for photo import under KDE.

Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2006-02-27 14:43:34 UTC

Fortunately we offer digikam import now if you plugin that camera. In the past we only offered camera:/

Comment 7 Ralf Flaxa 2006-05-02 11:18:15 UTC

What shall we do with this bug? Close it as WONTFIX or LATER
or move it to SL 10.2?

Comment 8 Marcus Meissner 2006-05-02 11:19:20 UTC

10.2

Comment 9 Marcus Meissner 2007-05-25 09:42:55 UTC
