To get around this problem I have to download from Camera via windblows where it is recognised as a removable storage device , and copy across to mandrake. So I cannot really use getpix for this purpose. I've spent many hours trying to get my camera mounted by mandrake 8.2 as a mass storage device without success,read everything I can find,but whereas I can get other makes of camera to work this one does not, but I suspect it is a new kernel job . So for now getpix is out. Is "ahead" a bash or perl script. I will look into it. regards, John But later, 11.15 BST, Seems to work just fine with a directory of image files, so the image file data, that is date time , exposure is carried within the image file itself not on the camera. Here is my result, [root@localhost root]# cd /root/Desktop/mont2 [root@localhost mont2]# jhead -n *.JPG DSCI0001.JPG --> 0923-205724.jpg DSCI0002.JPG --> 0923-205734.jpg DSCI0003.JPG --> 0923-205755.jpg DSCI0004.JPG --> 0923-205834.jpg DSCI0005.JPG --> 0923-205855.jpg DSCI0006.JPG --> 0923-210554.jpg DSCI0007.JPG --> 0923-210724.jpg DSCI0008.JPG --> 0924-212723.jpg DSCI0009.JPG --> 0924-212742.jpg DSCI0010.JPG --> 0924-212958.jpg DSCI0011.JPG --> 0924-213148.jpg DSCI0012.JPG --> 0924-213218.jpg DSCI0013.JPG --> 0924-213358.jpg DSCI0014.JPG --> 0924-213637.jpg and just to confirm a point, [root@localhost mont2]# ls 0923-205724.jpg 0923-205855.jpg 0924-212742.jpg 0924-213358.jpg 0923-205734.jpg 0923-210554.jpg 0924-212958.jpg 0924-213637.jpg 0923-205755.jpg 0923-210724.jpg 0924-213148.jpg 0923-205834.jpg 0924-212723.jpg 0924-213218.jpg That's pretty good, I mean , a list of say 200 to 300 image files per directory, is a nice search list when afforded a date/time stamp given a bit more time I could probably get it to put the year as well. and if you want to know the details about a givem image file you do something like this, [root@localhost mont2]# jhead 0923-205724.jpg File name : 0923-205724.jpg File size : 408819 bytes File date : 2003:09:23 20:57:24 Camera make : Unknown Camera model : 1.3M Digital CAM Date/Time : 2003:09:23 20:57:24 Resolution : 1600 x 1280 Flash used : Yes Focal length : 7.5mm Exposure time: 0.067 s (1/15) Aperture : f/2.8 ISO equiv. : 53 Metering Mode: center weight Exposure : program (auto) Jpeg process : Baseline Comment : ???????????????
