camera-backup.sh doesn't copy over all photos taken in burst mode #29

Closed jealousofyou closed 6 years ago

jealousofyou commented 6 years ago

If photos have been taken in burst mode then the files can have timestamps with the same hour, minute and second.

With the current file naming option: gphoto2 --get-all-files --skip-existing --filename=%Y%m%d-%H%M%S.%C only the first file taken in a particular second will be copied over. The others taken in the same second will be skipped because the name is already taken.

The --filename option takes the same time granularity as date(1) which only offers nanoseconds as a more accurate timestamp. If you don't want to use that then there might be no option but to include another source of uniqueness (maybe %f, the original filename without suffix, e.g. DSC_1234) as part of the target filename on storage medium.

Alternatively, you can simple remove the --filename=%Y%m%d-%H%M%S.%C part to keep the original file names.

Now that the --filename option has been removed from camera-backup.ch, can you also remove the "Rename the transferred files using the YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.SS format" comment above it?

Done. Thanks!
