Manpages sane-gphoto2Section: SANE Scanner Access Now Easy (5)Updated: 04 September 2001 Index Return to Main Contents NAMEsane-gphoto2 - SANE backend for gphoto2 supported camerasDESCRIPTIONThe sane-gphoto2 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to the digital cameras supported by gphoto2. THIS IS EXTREMELY ALPHA CODE! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!DEVICE NAMESThe current version of the backend only allows one camera to be connected. The device name is always "0".CONFIGURATIONThe contents of the gphoto2.conf specify the characteristics of the camera to be used. Resolutions (high resolution, low resolution, and thumbnail size) are required since they are needed by the sane frontends, but can't be obtained through the gphoto2 interface. Valid ports and cameras can be obtained by "gphoto2 --list-cameras" and "gphoto2 --list-ports".The dumpinquiry line causes some information about the camera to be printed. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample configuration file is shown below: The "topfolder" line specifies the "fixed" part of the file path. For example, on the Kodak DC-240, files are stored in the directory /DCIM/100DC240. The /DCIM portion is constant, but 100DC240 will change and must be read from the camers. In this case, the line would read "topfolder=/DCIM" Some cameras don't implement a file structure and store all pictures in the "/" directory. This is indicated by setting "subdirs=0" with "topfolder=/"
