Re: [OT] deleting pictures from digital camera via computer?
Works fine for me on an HP digital camera with exactly the same path
structure. I usually just mv the pictures and the camera figures it out.
It also works the other way: if I copy a .jpg picture to the camera it
ends up in the camera's stack and can be viewed on the internal LCD.
