"Unspecified error" loading metadata
Last modified: 2013-07-02 19:20:46 EDT
I get "*** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') ***" at the end of trying to load metadata from the camera. It looks like all the metadata is loaded successfully despite the error. Here's what I see at the end of the command output: Downloading 'IMG_0707.JPG' from folder '/store_00010001/DCIM/100CANON'... Saving file as meta_IMG_0707.JPG *** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') *** For debugging messages, please use the --debug option. Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem. If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto developer mailing list <gphoto-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>, please run gphoto2 as follows: env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --get-all-metadata "/store_00010001/DCIM/100CANON" Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments. I'll attach the log file.

The problem appears to go away if I remove the folder name from the command line. I thought it was required (and perhaps it was in older gphoto2 versions), but in any case even if it shouldn't be there, the error handling is poor.
Created attachment 161720 [details] new log file of gphoto2 failure The problem is back with current gphoto2 and kernel in devel, even when I don't specify the folder name on the command line. New log file attached.
