[Bug 258227] New: Support for Tethered shooting (transfer new images directly to the PC via e.g. USB)

[Simon-2]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258227

           Summary: Support for Tethered shooting (transfer new images
                    directly to the PC via e.g. USB)
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Import
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.5.4)
OS:                Linux

gphoto2 supports tethered shooting with the option --capture-tethered. This is
usually used when the Cam is connected to a PC with a (longer) USB cable; The
images taken will be transferred to the PC directly and can be viewed in higher
resolution (and by more people).

As gphoto2 only downloads the image, there are some scripts around which also
display incoming images, like this one:

But for digikam users it would certainly be more convenient to simply use
digikam for this :)

I guess digikam can not or does not want to rely on gphoto2, but I also guess
that it sould be easy to test for its existance on runtime?

Anyway, would be great to see this in digikam! :)

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.36-1.slh.2-aptosid-amd64
Compiler: cc

Capture mode from digiKAm Camera Interface is not enough ?

I don't know. I tried to use it, but then the D90 just seemed to open and the
dialog showed «capturing» in the progress dialog about 10 times per second, but
nothing happened.
If it simply takes a picture when pressing a button on the PC, then no, it is
not enough. This would actually even be contraproductive ;)
This video might explain tethered shooting (cannot listen to it right now, but
from looking at it it seems to be about what I imagine):

The digiKam Camera interface is pretty limited. Functionality similar to
Tethered Shooting feature in Rawstudio (see the attached screenshot) would a
great addition.

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 ?
