Description-en: filesystem to mount digital cameras
GPhotoFS is a filesystem client based on libgphoto2 that exposes
supported cameras as filesystems; while some cameras implement the USB
Mass Storage class and already appear as filesystems (making this
program redundant), many use the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) or
some other custom protocol. But as long as the camera is supported
by libgphoto2, it can be mounted as a filesystem using this program.
.
This package is based on the FUSE (filesystem in user space)
infra-structure of the Linux kernel and, therefore, does not require
any modifications to the kernel, apart from the fuse module.
