[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#399197: digikam fails to autostart when gphoto support is needed

[Andrea Garbarini]

Package: digikam
Version: 1:0.9.0~beta3-3
Severity: important

My digital camera, a Canon powershot, is properly detected when attached to the USB bug but choosing "Digikam detect and download" leads to a kioexec error:

file or folder / doesn't exist

please note that issuing digikam --detect-camera from the command line works perfectly ok, at least for me. After further investigation I came across this bug reported upstream:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117248

the hack suggested there didn't work for me. I hope this will be fixed soon, it's a terrible usability hinderance for new users, thanks, andrea
