Hi,

I'm using digikam 0.7.4 and kde 3.4.2 with debian unstable. I've been trying without luck to get digikam to recognize my pentax optio s4 camera. In the "add camera" box I choose usb as the camera port type and the camera mount point for the usb mass storage option is /mnt/pentax. But when I save the settings digikam can't connect to the camera, and when I recheck the settings, the camera port type has been changed to "serial" and the port path is changed to serial:/dev/ttyS0. Does anyone know what's going on? Why does digikam change the usb mass storage settings I have entered?

Update: I managed to solve the problem. Here's what I did:First, in digikam's "add camera" window, choose "USB Mass Storage from the list of cameras. This automatically sets the camera title to "Directory Browse." Then enter your Camera Mount Path. (Mine is /mnt/pentax.)

Next, I had to edit /etc/fstab to change the permissions for my camera. The entry for my camera looks like this:

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/pentax vfat rw,exec,user,auto 0 0

After rebooting I turned on my camera, mounted it, and opened digikam. I chose "camera" on digikam's menu, and then "directory browse," at which point digikam connected to my camera and opened a window displaying all the photos stored in the camera.

Hope this helps someone else.
