Camera tethering #27

Open patvdleer opened 4 years ago

Camera tethering doesn't seem to work in the snap version, it does when I start the apt version

snap version 2.6.3 apt version 2.6.0

It's my guess that this (and the issues with importing from removable devices -- #4 ) has to do with a missing plug for "whatever gPhoto2 does". Darktable relies on gPhoto2 for both tethering support and importing from cameras over USB (which is also how importing from memory cards works, they show up as "USB mass storage camera" devices"). I suspect that gPhoto2 sends command directly over the USB bus.

The darktable flatpak asks for permissions on all devices ("--device=all"), and the gPhoto stuff seems to work, at least the parts of it for my use case (importing from SD cards). I don't know enough about the low level details of what gPhoto needs to say for sure, but maybe enabling the 'block-devices' plug interface will do the trick?

So when does 3.0.2 will be available on snap?
