failure to download

[Al Eggen]

Hi,

I'm running Mandriva 2006 with digiKam 0.8.1 and my camera is a Kodak V705.  
The camera is on the gphoto2 supported list but I suspect it came out after
my version of digiKam.  DigiKam recognizes it as a "USB PTP Class Camera".  
It shows the pictures in the camera as .JPG files and allows you to select
them.  However whenever I attempt to download, I get the message "Failed to
download file ____.JPG".  

Kodak is no help.  Their book says you have to select before you can download
but you can't do that from the camera end since everything is unselected when
the camera is off and you can't do anything with the camera plugged into the
USB and on.

Thanks for your help,
Al

Al, please try to update digiKam to 0.9.2, your version is very old by now.

Hi Gerhard,
Thanks much,that seems to be the problem - I tried it on a laptop running Mandriva 2007 Live and it worked as it should.  I tried to find a package to update but the newest was an 0.8.3 and even that wouldn't download.
Regards,
Al

So I would say you have two options:
1) compile digikam 0.9.2 by yourself (should not be too difficult) or
2) upgrade to Mandriva 2007.
