| dumpdc240 - safely downloads all pictures from dc240 digital-stills camera and conveniently time-stamps them. |
| dumpdc240 is shipped as part of serialphoto-1.0.5.tar.gz |
| dumpdc240 [-p prefix | -prefix prefix] |
| dumpdc240 connects to a DC240 digital camera and downloads all pictures, renaming them with the given prefix, followed by the time-stamp that was recorded by the camera when the picture was shot. |
| dumpdc240 warns when the time-stamp of some picture is newer than the local time (time-stamps in the future). It also warns when pictures are older than one month. In both cases, checking the camera date settings is a good idea ! |
| dumpdc240 never overwrites existing files: it warns and then tries to write with another filename, suffixing it with a three digit number. |
| example: pic-20020820-200000.jpg is saved to pic-20020820-200000-001.jpg if such a file pre-exists. |
| -p prefix or -prefix prefix |
| Sets the filename prefix to prefix. The default value is the internal filename of the digital camera. |
| dumpdc240 arbitrarily uses te file /dev/usb/dc240 (the value is hardcoded in the source) to access the digital camera. |
| It can be created with: mknod /dev/usb/dc240 c 180 80 |
| dumpdc240 -prefix joachim |
| queries the digital camera for all its pictures and saves them all, naming them -for example- joachim-20011115-195500.jpg, joachim-20011115-200140.jpg, joachim-20011115-212015.jpg, etc... |

| The setting of the device file for accessing the camera should be more comfortable... |
| dumpdc240 and serialphoto are mainly an extraction of gphoto's dc240 interface code whith several small patches. |
