Being partial to CLI, and haven't experienced goofy GUI apps like that in the |
| 39 |
past, my choice is to remove the card from the camera (or use USB cable |
| 40 |
attached to the camera), plug the card into a card reader, and rsync the |
| 41 |
photos to my desired directory. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Whereas GUI photo apps work good in the darkside, we're lacking in Gentoo. |

For my Canon EOS 20D this script is great: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
mingdao@workstation ~ $ cat scripts/transfer-photos.sh |
| 48 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 49 |
mount /Canon-EOS |
| 50 |
rsync -av /Canon-EOS/dcim/ /photos/ |
| 51 |
umount /Canon-EOS |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
There is a directory /photos/, and the following in /etc/fstab: |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
LABEL=EOS_DIGITAL /Canon-EOS vfat noauto,users,rw,gid=1000,dmask=0002,fmask=0113,shortname=lower 0 0 |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Works great here. |
