camdump release 1.0 README 

Introduction

"camdump" is a simple frontend for the gphoto2 libraries. It takes a
single command-line argument: the directory into which it should copy
downloaded pictures. It then queries the first recognized camera and
downloads any files from the camera which do not already exist in the
target directory.

License

"camdump" is provided under the terms of the GPL version 2. See the
file COPYING for details. 

System requirements

  libgphoto2 2.1.0 or greater
  SWIG 1.3
  perl-GTK

Mandrake notes

The Mandrake RPM includes a hotplug script which will run camdump
whenever a suitable camera is detected. Just make sure you have an
/etc/sysconfig/camera file containing a setting for CAMDUMP telling it
where to put the files, e.g. "CAMDUMP=/usr/local/camdump-images". The
directory must exist and be writable by the user logged in on console
when the camera is plugged in.

Standard disclaimer

"camdump" works for me, and is provided in the hope that you will find
it useful. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
