gphotofs - filesystem to mount digital cameras
Contents
Description
GPhotoFS is a filesystem client based on libgphoto2 that exposes supported cameras as filesystems; while
some cameras implement the USB Mass Storage class and already appear as filesystems (making this program
redundant), many use the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) or some other custom protocol. But as long as
the camera is supported by libgphoto2, it can be mounted as a filesystem using this program.
As libgphoto2 is a userspace library for interacting with cameras, it is natural that if one to build a
filesystem ontop of it, one should use FUSE, and that is what I have done.
Limitations
GPhotoFS currently can't add or remove directories, rename files or directories, add or modify files and
get space information.
Name
gphotofs - filesystem to mount digital cameras
Notes
You must have permission to read and write the device. By default, devices recognized by libgphoto2 are
created with read/write access for group "plugdev", so users must be added to this group to use GPhotoFS.
