Summary: gphoto cannot copy files with number over 1024
Initial Comment:
gFull Description:
photo2 cannot handle situations where there are more than 1024 images on a memory card, which in itself is a situation very typical already on 16 GB Compact Flash cards, not to even speak of new 100 GB cards. The problem is caused by libgphoto2-2.4.2 file gphoto2-list.c line 75 that says:
#define MAX_ENTRIES 1024
How to repeat the problem:
Take a memory card with over 1024 images, and try to copy images above the 1024th image, and you'll get the following message:
*** Error (-8: 'Fixed limit exceeded') ***
Fix to the problem if known:
The quick fix is to change this to a larger number, i.e. 8192 or 16384. I've been using a version modified as this and it works well for my needs.
#define MAX_ENTRIES 8192
However, who such an arbitrary restriction? The correct way would be to dynamically allocate as much space as is needed.
