[oclug] Digital camera

[Matt R]

I have a Fuji FinePix s5000. gtkam and gphoto didn't seem to support
my camera so I wrote a bash script which is coincidentaly
broken/needing maintenance. You need to have the USB Mass Storage
support as well as SCSI emulation. When you plug in your camera, files
will be created in /dev/scsi/hostX/busX/targetX/lunX/ or /dev/sd* (or
some similar path if not with gentoo. PS: X = number). As for the
script, it's a pretty simple bash script


#!/bin/sh

echo "Directory to copy pictures to:"
read DIRPATH
mkdir ~/Pictures/$DIRPATH
mount /mnt/camera
cp -g /mnt/camera/dcim/100_fuji/*.jpg ~/Pictures/$DIRPATH
umount /mnt/camera

The /mnt/camera pointed to /dev/sda1
