This goes out to anyone who has used or hasn't heard of gPhoto.
gPhoto is a free, GPL'ed Linux/Un*x based application that allows users to download, view, manipulate, and save pictures from a large selection of supported digital cameras. It is now at version 0.1.2-DR, and has been known to compile run on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD. BUT, it should run on any system that has the required libraries installed.
As for the update, the devel version that is currently being worked on has come quite a long way even from the most recent release (which was posted 2 weeks ago). Currently, the following library projects are being worked on:
* Kodak DC-2x, DC-50 support * Kodak DC-2xx support * Ricoh support * Fuji support
This will practically double the number of cameras supported by gPhoto.
On top of that, there is now an added HTML Gallery generator. This "Plug-in" allows users to turn the thumbnail index into a full-fledged web-gallery from themed templates that will come with gPhoto. Users can make their own themes from scratch, easily, or use one of the themes provided.
The Live Camera! plug-in will eventually support time-capture sequences, and save to animated gifs, or movies; live video.
