Hi Marcus, The venerable Nikon D100 uses the usbscsi interface. Can more than one process access the camera simultaneously when its connected using usbscsi? Or does the usbscsi interface present the same limitation as the PTP/MTP interface, i.e. only one process may access the device at a time?------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Gphoto-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gphoto-devel |

I was not aware of the D100 going over usbscsi... I have it listed here as PTP over USB? Does it speak PTP? In general it will most likely be single program access. > As an aside, I don't know if it's a known characteristic or not, but a > Nikon D800, there are no storage descriptions returned by libgphoto2.

It does not seem to be common, I have not heard about that.

I found this problem of the missing storage description because my application (Rapid Photo Downloader, which uses Jim Easterbrook's python bindings) collects storage info using the API, and it was getting an empty result for storageinfo_description. Here is some gPhoto2 output, from the command line: $ gphoto2 --storage-info [Storage 0] label=NIKON D800 [Slot 1] basedir=/store_00010001 access=2 Nur Lesen und Bilder löschen type=4 Entfernbarer RAM fstype=4 Kamera Struktur (DCIM) totalcapacity=7878464 KB free=7393472 KB freeimages=1604 [Storage 1] label=NIKON D800 [Slot 2] basedir=/store_00020001 access=2 Nur Lesen und Bilder löschen type=4 Entfernbarer RAM fstype=4 Kamera Struktur (DCIM) totalcapacity=31248384 KB free=13976416 KB freeimages=179 Best, Damon -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Gphoto-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gphoto-devel |
