Generally possible.

The gphoto2 commandline tool does not support this yet.
(If someone wants to make a patch for it, feel free, as I have no good syntax
idea right now.)



Otherwise, libgphoto2/examples/samples-tether.c  is a small example program
that does the --capture-tethered magic.

Just add some check there, e.g.
	if (!strstr(path->name, ".JPG")) break; /* if not JPG, do not download */

to the switch case GP_EVENT_FILE_ADDED in it to just download JPG files.
