Picture Transfer Protocol

[Dave Higton]

Well, I managed to transfer a JPEG from one of the cameras this
evening.

It's only a test; I transferred a specific photo that I already
knew to be there, but that's what you do during early tests.

It's been a nightmare getting USB communication to work on the
Iyonix to these cameras. I have the impression that the bulk
transfer protocol's implementation requires one to know in
advance the length of the transfer one is asking for. In mass
storage, for example, that's OK, the transfer's length is always
known in advance; but not for PTP, for example, in many cases.

I still have to do a GUI, of course.

All I'm saying is... don't hold your breath...

Sounds useful.

But we wouldn't be holding our breath if you hadn't told us about it, would
we? ;-)
