Hi,
I'm using CentOS 5.1 with the latest XFCE-4.4 desktop. I try to stick as much as possible to the UNIX tools philosophy, one app per task. For viewing images, I installed GQView. But right now, I wonder what I could probably use for handling photo imports from digital cameras. GThumb tends to be very unmodular, e. g. drawing in many GNOME dependencies, and besides that, I already have an image browser, so I don't need another one.
Under Slackware, I've been using GTKam, a simple GTK frontend to gphoto2, which did the job just fine. But I'm surprised to find it nowhere, not in RPMForge, not in FreshRPMs. All I can find on the web is a few stale .spec files on some obscure SVN repos. Well, I can always try to grab one of these, and see if I can manage to build an RPM from the "latest" version: 0.1.14, dating from december 2006. Which makes me wonder whether this piece of software is perfect or abandoned...
Before launching into building GTKam on my own, I'd like to ask: what graphical frontends for digital cameras can you use *besides* GThumb and Digikam (that is: if you're using neither GNOME nor KDE)? Is there some obscure GIMP plugin that I might have overseen?
Cheers,
Niki

I am interested in this, too. I wrote a small wish script that uses gphoto2/gtkam to provide a simple gui frontend that operates a camera. I could not find anything that could do this when I searched.

Among gtkam's dependencies, there's libexif-gtk. I tried to build it, but compilation failed. Details next time, because I'm not writing this message on my buildbox.
Normally, I use the [base], [updates], [extras] and [rpmforge] repos. When I need some piece of software that's not included in either of these, I try to find an SRPM on rpm.pbone.net, or at least a .spec file somewhere (freshrpms). Then I build the thing on a dedicated buildbox and put it on my own repo:
http://kikinovak.free.fr/centos/5/kikinovak/i386/
But this time, I couldn't manage to find anything.
If your skills include building packages, SRPMS for libexif-gtk and gtkam would be very welcome.
Cheers,
Niki

I will put this in my ToDo list...

I investigated a bit more: looks like quite many distributions (Gentoo, Arch, FreeBSD) are having trouble building libexif-gtk. I spent the best part of a sunny morning on it, applied all the patches I found here and there, but libexif-gtk stubbornly refused to build. So be prepared for a session of hairpulling :oD

Yes, I already see that this would take more than one sunny morning...
