[Gphoto-user] --folder and --filename flags not working

[chrisdopuch]

Hello,

I am using a Canon DSLR EOS D6 with a Beaglebone Black running Angstrom
Linux.

Whenever I use the --filename or --folder flags with gphoto2 it seems to
have no effect on the image. Here are some sample inputs and outputs:

***@beaglebone:~# gphoto2 --filename="capt%y%m%d%H%M%S.jpg"
--folder="/store_00020001/DCIM/100CANON" --capture-image
New file is in location /capt0000.jpg on the camera

Of course, I can never find this photo "capt0000.jpg" on the camera. I am
trying to capture the image and simply have it write to the SD card.

***@beaglebone:~# gphoto2 --filename="capt%y%m%d%H%M%S.jpg"
--folder="/store_00020001/DCIM/100CANON" --capture-image-and-download
New file is in location /capt0000.jpg on the camera
Saving file as capt140508184231.jpg
Deleting file /capt0000.jpg on the camera
Deleting 'capt0000.jpg' from folder '/'...

Using the capture and download method properly names the file, but the
--folder option seems to have no effect. I have tried using a slash after
the name of the folder as well, makes no difference.

***@beaglebone:~# gphoto2 --filename="capt%y%m%d%H%M%S.jpg"
--folder="~/images/" --capture-image-and-download
New file is in location /capt0000.jpg on the camera
Saving file as capt140508184523.jpg
Deleting file /capt0000.jpg on the camera
Deleting 'capt0000.jpg' from folder '/'...

Attempts to do this with a local directory also seem to have no effect.

I have also tried setting the default image name in ~/.gphoto/settings :

gphoto2=model=Canon EOS 6D
gphoto2=port=usb:001,002
libgphoto=cached-images=2
gphoto2=filename="capt%y%m%d%H%M%S.jpg"

... to no avail.

Any ideas anyone?

The --filename option are for the downloaded file, not for the on camera files.

--folder is for the on-camera folder.

The camera is in a mode where it captures images to its SDRAM
and they get immediately downloaded to libgphoto2 memory.

If you want to keep the images on the sd card, change the "capturetarget"
config option to "Memory card".


gphoto2 --get-config capturetarget
gphoto2 --set-config capturetarget=1

--filename will however not define the name on the camera as said, the camera
will still call it IMG_4242.JPG for Canon.

Also, the folder where the images are stored on card is controlled by the camera, --folder
will have no effect on it.
