I've been wondering for a while whether there's any way to use kioslaves -- particularly camera:/ -- in a bash script.

The context is I've got this little script to handle rotating and resizing photos from my camera:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
chmod 777 /home/pgk/convertme/*.JPG
cd /home/pgk/convertme/
cd "/home/pgk/convertme"; ls *.JPG | xargs -I NAME convert NAME -rotate "-90<" NAME
cd "/home/pgk/convertme"; ls *.JPG | xargs -I NAME convert NAME -resize 50% -quality 95 NAME
cp /home/pgk/convertme/* "/home/pgk/Documents/Pictures/new pics"
rm /home/pgk/convertme/*.JPG

But after plugging my camera in I still have to open up dolphin and go to camera:/ and navigate down and copy the photos from there into /home/pgk/convertme... I'd really like to automate that part. I tried

Code: Select all

cp -R camera:/USB%2520PTP%2520Class%2520Camera@usb:005,014/store_00010001/DCIM/100KC195/* /home/pgk/convertme/

but it doesn't work.

I've also tried mounting the old fashioned way but mysteriously haven't seemed to be able to find the right /dev/ device or something... if there's a way to use kioslaves that'd be simpler.

Try to use "kdecp5" (or "kde-cp") instead, that should do what you want.
It doesn't seem to support wild cards, but if you leave out the * it should copy all files anyway.

E.g.:

Code: Select all

kdecp5 camera:/USB%2520PTP%2520Class%2520Camera@usb:005,014/store_00010001/DCIM/100KC195/ /home/pgk/convertme/
