script to copy files from a PTP or massstorage camera
#!/bin/sh
# docamera.sh , 2004
# [email protected] http://buzz.spacedout.nl/
# quite easy script to mount yr camera , download all pictures , upload them to yr gallery and archive them locally
# also implements a 'cache' for offline times ;)
# wrote this for galleryadd.pl ( http://jpmullan.com/galleryupdates/other/galleryadd.pl )
# - homedir , archivedir , cachedir are all hardcoded , you can easily change this
# ( not really anymore , but a little )
# - you'll need a /mnt/camera mountpoint in yr fstab , and you probably want to be able to mount this as user :D
# ( gphoto2 support somewhere ;) )
# - gallery 1.3.4+ afaik
# CONFIGURATION :
GALLERY="http://example.com/gallery"
GALLERYUSER="user"
GALLERYPASS="pass"
GALLERYALBUM="album"
# set this to "gphoto2" or "usb"
CAMERA="gphoto2"
CACHEDIR="/home/buzz/images_tmp"
ARCHIVEDIR="/home/buzz/images"
USBMOUNTPOINT="/mnt/camera"

# CONFIGABLE STUFF ENDS HERE , but you are welcome to continue
