[Bug 207936] New: Remote control of Camera (similar to gtkam)

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207936

           Summary: Remote control of Camera (similar to gtkam)
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.4.1 (GCC)

OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

New feature request.

Allow the user to manipulate camera settings like aperture, shutter speed, ISO
etc. remotely from digikam. This will add to current functionality of image
capture.

libghoto currently has these features via the --get-config and --set-config
settings on the command line or via the gtkam GUI.

many thanks for creating and maintaining digikam. This is one of my favourite
apps.

I had a look at how the --get-config and --set-config options in gphoto work a
while back. Apparently, libgphoto does not provide direct access to these
configuration options, but a configuration dialog. The command line gphoto
program requests the configuration dialog and then analyzes the widgets in the
dialog to see which options it can offer. When you use --set-config, it
modifies the values of these widgets and "presses OK" in the dialog, all
without ever showing it.

So there are two options:
- simply request the gtk-based configuration dialog from libgphoto and display
it to the user
- reuse or rewrite the code that takes this dialog apart and create a KDE/Qt
based one

`gphoto2 --summary` also shows camera properties, but I don't know how easy it
is to relate these to the convenient options presented by --set-config.

The dialog is not a GTK dialog, it is more or less a abstract dialog tree.

The whole configuration display/setting is already implemented in the
kio_kamera kconfig module.

Just the actual remote capture / preview is not implemented in a KDE/QT program
yet.

Certainly the better way. Never tested to be clear.

Already tested. Very difficult (look in cameraui dir, there is a Qt3 dialog
code not compiled). Problem is the GTK loop messages and Qt signals/slots
conversion. It think it's impossible to do.

>`gphoto2 --summary` also shows camera properties, but I don't know how easy it

Already implemented. Go to Device/Information dialog.

IMPORTANT : A camera capture tool is already implemented. I have used my old
Olympus C3000Z few year ago, but now, device is dead. I cannot test anymore.
Try it using Device/Capture dialog (work only with specific Gphoto2 camera)

There are three enhancement requests for this in the database:
Bug 186574
Bug 207936
Bug 258227

Should they be marked as duplicates of only one ?
