Downloading Images from a Camera with Linux
Ingredients:
- Linux distro (Fedora Core 4)
- Camera USB (Kodak Easyshare LS743)
- gphoto2
So I get a camera, and take pictures.. now what? I got linux. I thought this may be complicated.. But guess what..
Step 1
Make sure gphoto2 is installed. If not.. open shell cli prompt (whatever) and become su, then # yum -y install gphoto2, wait for it to complete..
Step 2
Make your dir to receive photos, change to it.. then # gphoto2 -P
Step 3
All your photos are downloaded to your current working dir. Now, delete the photos.. # gphoto2 -DR .. All the photos are deleted from your camera.
Done. That's it. No mouse clicking. No stupid dialogues. Wow.
