know about any config file you're talking about and the /etc/hotplug
stuff is extremely new to me.

1) The config file is the file *YOU* added your camera into to have it
come up in the digikam list.   I'm trying to get digikam going but it
doesn't have a Canon PowerShot S45 in its list...  therefore I can't use it.

However gphoto2 does find the S45 and I can download pictures using the
gphoto2 command.   So where did you add in your camera??


2) As for the /etc/hotplug stuff...  this page spells out the things I
did in /etc/hotplug to get gphoto2  to work.
