Bug#236809: kamera: Erratic behaviour of kio-camera and control panel

[Ricardo Galli <gallir@uib.es>]

Package: kamera
Version: 4:3.2.1-1
Severity: important

The camera ioslave and control module have erratic behaviour, at least
with USB cameras.

When a camera is added in the control panel, then it isn't shown when
the same module is restarted. As if no camera has been configured yet,
although the ~/.kde/share/config/kio_camerarc _does_ have the data:

$ cat kio_camerarc
[Canon Digital IXUS]
Model=Canon Digital IXUS
Path=usb:

[Canon Digital IXUS 2 (PTP mode)]
Model=Canon Digital IXUS 2 (PTP mode)
Path=usb:


OTH, when konqueror is started with the URL "camera:/" it doesn't show
all cameras, sometimes only the last configured camera, others none. i

But the images can be accessed by entering the entire URL, for example:

konqueror 'camera://Canon Digital IXUS@[usb:]/'
