Re: Simple question
No you didn't. If your digital camera doesn't support mass storage, there is no way to do copying in Salamander just now. Do you have Canon DC?Guest wrote:Hi everybody,

But he's able to do it from Explorer (or am I wrong?), so what's the difference?jis wrote:No you didn't.

Answer in Czech is here: Digitalni kameru ve vyberu disku..
The point is that windows explorer provide user interface via special extension by which users can access non mass storage devices.
See chapter Still Image Devices here about WIA PTP versus WIA MSC:

@ guest: you might want to have a look at Windows' Disk Management console while your camera is plugged in. You might be able to assign a drive letter.
Yes it is a Canon DC and no it hasn't a drive letter.
The windows explorer provides an item in the explorertree.
It's like the controlpanelitem in the tree.
You can click on it and on it and in the right side the .jpg's are shown.
I want to know whats the background and are you able to do the same in Salamander ?
If it is possible, the windows explorer is no longer needed for me. Anything else works perfectly. Great work.

According to Roadmap we must wait some more time. This point is about accessing your camera from Salamander:Guest wrote:Yes it is a Canon DC and no it hasn't a drive letter.

But you don't need wait for future version of Servant Salamander. Do you have desktop or notebook?Roadmap wrote:Folders browser in panel (My Computer, Desktop, Control Panel, Recycle Bin, etc.)
For desktop I can recommend to buy external USB flash card reader.
For notebook I can recommend to buy PC Card flash card reader. I have Canon digital camera with SD card, so I bought Panasonic SD CardBus PC Card adapter BN-SDPC3E. I made my own speed tests with 1.0 GB SanDisk Extreme III SD card by ATTO Disk Benchmark: You will never get so impressive throughput from digital camera connected via USB Cable and with flash card reader you will save your battery too .

There is no way to assign drive letter for PTP. See for example this http://forums.techguy.org/digital-photo ... are-2.htmlSvA wrote:@ guest: you might want to have a look at Windows' Disk Management console while your camera is plugged in. You might be able to assign a drive letter.

Well, I personally won't like to wait 10 times more time for transferring pictures via USB cable in compare to transferring through CardBus PC Card adapter. For example I have small speedy Canon IXUS 50 (Canon PowerShot SD400). If I connect it to a host computer via a USB interface, it has transfer speed as high as 2500 KBytes/second, it is indeed very fast. But cameras with slow USB interfaces run as low as 300 KB/s, cameras with fast USB1.1 interfaces run as high as 600 KB/s. Cameras with USB2.0 interfaces run as fast as several megabytes/second. But never as high as 20 MBytes/second.Guest wrote:I know I can use a card reader, but it would be nice if you can use the camera in some cases.

Well, I do not have any experience with nor acces to PTP devices.jis wrote:There is no way to assign drive letter for PTP.

The link you, jis, provided in the post quoted above does not realy add any more useful information over the Microsoft technet article you linked to before. There Microsoft writes (Italics mine)
and then againMicrosoft wrote:WIA supports a camera class driver that is based on Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP), ...
This latter phrase is somewhat ambiguous in that it could mean it provides MSC service for any device it can handle (i.e. proprietary driver or PTP) or it could mean it supports MSC devices just as it does PTP devices. Since wording is different in the two quotes from Microsoft I assumed functionality is different, so I thought checking it should clear up that matter. Not getting a drive letter automatically does not by necessity mean you cannot assign a drive letter.WIA also provides Mass Storage Class (MSC) device support.
Re: Simple question
Yes, in that assumption you are right. What I want to say and emphasize is that USB Mass Storage devices have advantage over Picture Transfer Protocol devices because they are immediately available as another hard drive without need to install any additional SW.SvA wrote:Not getting a drive letter automatically does not by necessity mean you cannot assign a drive letter.
