Yeah, I'm familiar with the project, I was just hoping for insights, from the perspective of developing RAW development software, about how currently relevant it is 20 years later *for simple retrieval of files*. I find very little discussion about recent cameras not supporting USB storage, whereas exFAT currently *does* present some obstacles. In light of that, it seems possible that only using gphoto as a fallback when needed might make sense. -- jys ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
