digikam fails to delete pictures from Canon PowerShot A85

[Richard Miles-814]

I have noticed that most of the time when I try to delete all the pictures from
the Canon PowerShot A85 camera that a popup window with failed to delete picture
occurs. Is this a problem with digikam for this type of camera or are other
people experiencing this problem with other cameras? I have to use the camera to
delete the pictures.

Don't know if it could help you :

I experienced such a problem with a broken CompactFlash card (in fact some
kind of Microdrive made by Magicstore). The card was the problem, not the
camera nor any card reader.
 
Have you tried with another CF card ?

Do you have any CF reader you could use to test if the problem comes more from
the card or from the camera ?

(Anyway, my point is that a (PCMIA or USB) card reader is definitively simpler
and safer to use, and far more friendly for the camera batteries.)

Thanks for your answer. I do not have a CF reader. The compact flash card was given to me along with the camera by my wife. She had used the camera and compact flash card for about a year and a half before giving it to me. She uses iphoto and an apple imac computer. She never had any problems erasing the images from the camera using that software. I can erase the images using the camera but it is more convenient to use digikam. Do compact flash cards wear out with alot of usage?

Check camera files properties in camera interface using item op-up menu. file
is Read only ?

Are you using UMS or gphoto2 driver ?

I think that you use stable release, 0.8.1. In camera GUI, select an item from
your camera and click with right button : a pop up menu will appear. Choose
Properties option and look Read and Write flags.

These informations are provided by gphoto drivers, not digiKam itself. Witch
libgphoto2 version you use. Have you tried to use (for testing (:=))) the
gphoto2 command line tool instead (to remove a file on your camera) ?

I have not used gphot2 from the command line. It has a delete-all-files from folder option. Is that the command to use?
I am using libgphoto2 version 2.2.4

I had similar problems when running Fedora 4. Once I upgraded to Fedora
5 they disappeared. So I think it was not a digikam issue at all, in my
case.

Right. This is a problem in Gphoto2 i think. I can reproduce this problem in
my computer with my Dynax 5D in PTP mode. Perhaps a right access with current
user to USB device link or something like that.

I will investiguate.

Richard, please check in B.K.O (bugzilla of KDE) if there is an entry about
this subject and post your comments at this place. Mailing isn't the right
place to store problems history. If there is no right entry, please make a
new one.
