Error when trying to get movies off my Camera
- by matt wilkie
How do I retrieve movies and audio files from my Canon PowerShot S5 IS camera?
Shotwell only sees the pictures. Mounting the camera via "Places Canon Digital Camera" and then clicking twice on the resulting desktop icon yields this error:
could not display "gphoto2://[usb:001,002]/"
There is nothing in /media.

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Solution: install gphotofs, then Nautilus shows camera contents similar to a standard usb storage device (though note that gphotofs does not yet support adding to or deleting contents).
