Import photos from a digital camera


If Ubuntu does not ask you if it can import the photos:

1. Open Applications → Graphics → F-Spot Photo Manager and choose File → Import....
2. Select your camera as the Import Source and then press Import to begin importing your photos.

If your camera does not appear as an import source, press Places → Computer and check if your camera is visible there as a removable storage device. If it is, you can then copy the photos manually using the File Browser.

Try this and please report back.

ok i got that. what about videos? ive got a few videos on a sd card that i want to upload but fspot dont seem to be able to do it.

what i generally do is take the SD card out and plug it directly into my computer, skipping the middle man, and let ubuntu mount it so i can just drag-drop by myself.

i dislike fspot.

hey piggy, even when i do that it still wants to go thru fspot. when i try to drop and drag my vids it freezes then says cant upload. any ideas

[earthpigg]

it opens fspot for me too... i close it and the sd card shows up in nautilus and lets me open it like a thumb drive.

if that is what you are doing then i have no idea why it wouldn't work, crazypenguin :\
