Calum/Russell:
I noticed that GPhoto2 was not included in SXCE b121 but is provided
in Solaris 10 as the Digital Camera Browser. Is there a replacement
for GPhoto2 in latest release of OpenSolaris or has it been replaced
with some other application to perform a similar function?
Hmm, Digital Camera Browser is also in 2009.06 (but it now starts gtkam
rather than gphoto), so I'm not sure why it's not in SXCE.
Note that gtkam is a GUI program while gphoto2 is a CLI-only program.
Most users probably use gtkam, but gphoto2 is a useful CLI program if
you want to, say, write a script to perform the same operations on
multiple files, for example.
If you have the SUNWgnome-camera package on your system, then you should
have both the gtkam and gphoto2 programs on your system, as well as the
libgphoto2 libraries. I am not sure if they are provided with the
default OpenSolaris install. You may need to get the SUNWgnome-camera
packages via IPS.
I did just notice a bug in the /usr/share/applications/gtkam.desktop
file where it had "_Name" instead of "Name" and "_Comment" instead of
"Comment". This prevented gtkam from showing up in the applications
menu under "Graphics". This problem was in our development GNOME 2.27
builds. I am not sure if earlier versions of gtkam in previous
releases had this same problem. So, if you are seeing a similar
problem with gtkam not showing up in the menus, this may be the
problem. However, if you start up a terminal, you should be able to
run gtkam or gphoto2 by hand. Or you could fix the gtkam.desktop file
by hand to correct the problem.
