Connection problems between Digikam and my camera.

[Jean Sebok]

Hello everybody,
I'm desperatly looking for an advice about the way my Digikam works with
my camera.
First of all, my configuration :
- OpenSuse 11.0
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7.(recognized as Panasonic DMC-LC1 in the list
of camera)
Until now, I used the older version of Opensuse, the 10.3 and had no
problems.
Since I upgraded it, when I try to download my pictures to my computer,
after connecting the camera via the USB connection, I get a message
saying that it's not connected.
But it is. Plus the camera is seen by my system as "USB Mass storage
interface"
I checked my USB connectors, they work fine. I even checked my camera on
a Windows Vista Pc, it works fine, I can  transfer my pictures.
OpenSuse 11 came with the 0.9.3 version of Digikam. So I upgraded it to
the 0.9.4 one, but the result is the same.
Has anybody the slightest idea of what's going on ? Do you know if there
is a problem with the new version of Opensuse ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Camera informations

Yes. I've tried both ways : With Panasonic DMC-LC and Directory Browse when I use the "Mounted camera" option in the Camera configuration window. Same result : doesn't want to connect.

Does it work if you use Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP)?
You can select this in the menu of your camera.

On my home PC I use a card reader (approx 10 €) where I simply put in the
memory cards, so I don't have to select what camera is connected. Then I
select "download with digikam" or "open in new window" (=konqueror) depending
of what I want to do...

Thanks to Gilles Caulier ( merci !) and Daniel Bauer. Actually, it seems
to work when i select the PTP mode. Nevertheless, I'd like to know what
happened : I never used before PTP, so why now ?
Thanks again .
