[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 74279] Re: error importing photos in ptp mode

[Paul Crawford]

No this is STILL BROKEN with 10.04!

Connect a D300s with single CF card and no auto-launch, manually launch F-spot and the camera is listed from the import options, but you get "Unspecified error" dialogue box if you try.
Connect a D300s with both CF and SD cards and it auto-launched F-spot, and you can read the files in, but in the background there is a dialogue box with "Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock device".

Come on folks, this has been a problems reported for THREE AND A HALF
years now and no one has fixed it in any proper sense! I mean, WTF,
can't anyone do something about this?

With a Nikon D200 camera, f-spot recognizes the camera but issues an undefined error when trying to retrieve the photos in ptp mode. In USB mass storage mode, everything goes fine.

The error messages are the following:
