Package: gvfs-backends Version: 1.20.2-1nomtp2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch
Dear Maintainer, Copying data from two different USB MTP devices[*] didn't work, receiving the corrupted files in the local computer. Further investigation, rebuilding gvfs without libmtp (see patch) and trying other MTP library (go-mtpfs) improved the situation but still got some corruption in the local copy. Just by chance I rebooted the computer and then devices were visible and transfer worked smoothly. I realised, to my surprise, that it was the gphoto2 backend who was handling the transfers even though the devices were clearly in MTP mode. Looking at gphoto2 webpage shows that they have recently added MTP support to their existing and well known PTP features. So it may be time to drop out separate mtp handling altogether with recent versions of gphoto2. For info, my version of libgphoto2 is: ii libgphoto2-6:amd64 2.5.4-1 amd64 The patch --------- The patch I provide disables gvfs-mtp from the configure and install phases. However an annoying window of "unable to handle device" is still displayed whenever the MTP device is connected. This warning can be safely ignored. This is a coarse but good-enough approach for me. A better option might be checking if gphoto2 is handling the mount before launching the mtp backend, but this should be an upstream issue that goes beyond my capabilities.
