Loud ramblings of a Software Artisan

I committed as is 2 sets of bindings for libgphoto2. One for Java, done with SWIG, the other is for Python done with Pyrex.

I haven't tested them, but they are here, provided by some external contributor.

Now I have C# waiting. I extracted the code from f-spot 0.1.1.

Marcus did patch the "directory" camlib to work with the new disk: driver that I wrote, in order to be able to use libgphoto2 to download pictures off a mounted filesystem. I was procrastinating and never tested my chances completely. He did his own, and in fact I like them better. He also made the disk: driver work without libhal.

He also fixed the long standing bug (I'd say design issue) where pictures got cached into memory. Now, only two gets and that cover 99% of the cases. Other you would have had the content of your memory card in RAM which is bad.

I found in a blog a hint on how to download pictures from a Motoral cell-phone with a camera. Basically it involve issuing an AT command to switch the device to a different mode and then use a proprietary protocol called P2K.

moto4lin comes to the rescue by providing the implementation.

Looks like a good candidate for a libgphoto2 addition.

The Motorola V220 has the good taste to come with a mini-USB connector.
