ipod touch & photos

[bart11]

how do you import photos to your ipod touch?

[pythagorean]

you just click on the mounted device and put them in the photos folder.

[bart11]

I have tried what you have suggested and when I click on the photo album application nothing is displayed.

[pythagorean]

When I plug in my iPod touch it mounts and then I click on it an open it as a nautilus window. I put photos in the DCIM folder and they show up in the Saved folder in the Photo button on the Ipod touch screen. I find, however, that I use drop box more often because it works with Linux and Windows to sync things onto the iPod touch.

[bart11]

that does not work either.

do you have gtkpod installed?

[pythagorean]

no. Fedora just works with the iPod touch. You shouldn't need to install anything. When you plug it in then the dialog boxes pop up asking if you want to open Shotwell and Rhythmbox.

Can you put music on it through Rhythmbox? Is it even mounted? What does your lsusb say?

it is mounted and i can use rhythmbox fine.

i just cant see photos when I use the photo app on the ipod

[bart11]

I have been able to use gtkpod to install photos on my ipod touch.

the mount point is /home /.gvfs and it looks like the ipods file system is afc type.

is there any other way to add photos? drag and drop in nautilus will add them to the ipod but they will not be viewable with the photo application on the ipod touch.
