No, sorry Greg, I can not see that this is a real solution. It's a hack. The critical point is that the photo lib should have no knowledge that the photo device is a multifunctional device, and that the requesting of a photo interrupts some other function. What should libgphoto2 do if there are devices with countless other functions? Should libgphoto2 be "enhanced" to check all these other uses? This is obviously a mess. Please don't start this. On the other side, the allowance of disrupting a webcam stream is a policy, and this should not belong to the kernel. So I would vote for a sort of policy userspace helper. regards Wolfgang -- Wahre Worte sind nicht schön. Schöne Worte sind nicht wahr.
