Be sure to substitute in the proper device name instead of dc2xx0 if the camera was not assigned dc2xx0. To list all files on the camera run the following command:
bash$ python cdp.py |
To download a single image from the camera run the following command, remember to modify the command accordingly for your specific camera:
bash$ python cdp.py 2:DC265_01/P0000748.JPG |
That command will download the image P0000748.JPG to the directory DC265_01 in the current directory. A quick and easy command to download all the images from the camera would be:
bash$ for file in $(python cdp.py); do python cdp.py $file; done |
This is just a few of the many ways such a script can work. It is possible to use the above command in a larger shell script to automate downloading the images from the camera, converting the images to another format, resizing the images, creating a web page automatically, and many many others. The options are endless when it comes to scripts like this.
Still deciding the best way to implement this section. Possibly a DocBook manual for gPhoto needs to be written but according to the gPhoto project web site a manual is being developed at the moment. Contact with the developers of gPhoto has been made and a decision to work on the document at some point, presum
