Perhaps it's just another passing fad like FB/twitter. mc dates from 70s DOS:nc. BTW, how do I ask a 800 char question to a user whose twitter-adr only is known? == TIA.

Chris, If you are referring to MTP and PTP as a passing fad I think you are probably not correct. They appear to me to be pretty standard protocols these days. For example, many if not most of the newer still cameras from the various major brands are using PTP, and libgphoto2 contains support for it. And, historically, I understand that PTP originally grew out of MTP and the two protocols are in fact closely related. To support them in MC might be an interesting idea. However, I myself own no hardware which uses either one of these protocols. BTW, how do I ask a 800 char question to a user whose twitter-adr only is known? No idea. I don't do Twitter or any other social-media setup. Theodore Kilgore == TIA.
