My Canon 350D camera is auto-detected by Digikam.
However Digikam refuses to download images from it.
When logged in as root, all works nicely. So some
settings are wrong. Which ?  The groups-membership

Luc,

Thanks for the report.

What are the permissions set on your camera?

digikam doesn't set permissions for your camera, that is set with either udev
or gphoto?

Can you access your camera with gphoto as a normal user?


Mark
