Re: [Gphoto-user] Recgonizing camera in gphoto2

[Felix <my...@ym...>]

That would be a wonderful explanation... The only problem is that 
digikam doesn't recognize my camera, either (althoug it's listed as 
supported camera)... And somebody in digikam said that digikam relies on 
gphoto2, so I should check if gphoto2 recognizes the camera. And if it 
doesn't - then the best place to ask is gphoto2 list.

Which is exactly what I did. So, if libgphoto2 is not *supposed* to 
recognize my camera, and digikam *relies* on gphoto2 to recognize the 
camera, how can the camera be supported by digikam?

Thank you
Felix
