Alas, changing CAMERAS didn't work. But I'm not surprised, as gphoto2 |
| 47 |
has always found the camera just fine, regardless of what Gnome thinks. |
| 48 |
I suspect that my issue is closer to a libgphoto2/gvfs incompatibility, |
| 49 |
but I've no data on which to test that. I suppose I could just start |
| 50 |
compiling ~arch masked builds of libgphoto2 and see if any of them |
| 51 |
stick, but I would love some sort of cleaner answer. |
