For example: $ gphoto2 --auto-detect Model Port ---------------------------------------------------------- Kodak DX4530 usb: Then, you can do things like: $ gphoto2 --list-files $ gphoto2 --get-all-files $ gphoto2 --delete-all-files -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
