XFCE- application for digital camera management
 

Dear Slackers
On XFCE, I do not find an application for digital camera. When I was using KDE, there was the digikam
How do I import photos from my camera? Thunar does not even show my camera, as USB device plugged-in.
But, When I plug the camera, on the right hand corner, a message, 'camera detected' is displayed, but not shown by Thunar / file system.
Pl. suggest what I should install for camera management

gThumb is probably what you're looking for.

http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/graphics/gthumb/

i have had good experience with gtkam. less dependencies than gthumb, more straightforward (importing images only).

In addition to the above, if you just want to copy images files (and perhaps delete one or more) you can pop the memory card out of the camera and plug it into a compatible slot on your computer -- most boxes nowadays, particularly laptops but most desktops too, come with one or more slots for a camera-type memory card.

Xfce sees the card (at least on my laptop and desktop), mounts it and there go.

Installed gtkam from below location
http://pkgs.org/Slackware 14.1 » Johannes Schöpfer x86_64 » gtkam-0.1.17-x86_64-1jsc.txz
This is shown under "Graphics". When I try to open the application, nothing happens. Any dependencies to be installed?

open the application in a terminal and post the output.

You can use digikam with Xfce, too. Xfce is just a desktop environment and not an application suite.

Create a directory and run gphoto2.

gphoto2 -P

will download all the images from your camera.

Dear Ondho
Below is the output

since digikam is a KDE application, I will have to install many dependencies. Trying to avoid bloatware

Your suggestion works beautifully. Thanks.

I would be happy, if gtkam opens up

libexif-gtk
 

Both your error message and slackbuilds.org suggest that you should install (the correct version of) libexif-gtk (before building gtkam) to get gtkam to run.

appears that this package is corrupt in the repos

Yep. The same thing works for me on my XFCE desktops and laptops.
To the OP go to Application menu--->Settings--->Settings Manager---->Removable Drives and Media. Check the boxes that say Mount removable drives when hot plugged and Mount removable media when inserted. You should then be able to view your pictures and work with them.

Check /etc/group is your regular user a member of plugdev?

I realize people throw the word bloat around to describe many different things but technically if you use it, it isn't bloat provided it is well-written code. The dependencies are static. They take up no resources other than hard drive space, and incidentally and apart from Digikam, you can solve a lot of Xfce shortcomings by switching to KWin and still have a small footprint. Certainly use what you prefer but there's no need to jump at shadows.

This, and/or install digikam+dependencies. It will run fine in Xfce.

EDIT: Perhaps this?

where did you get this package?
