Generic way to talk to a still camera

[scarleton]

As I have stated in the past, I am working on an application that gets images from a still camera and does stuff with the images. Currently I am using the camera manufacture's SDK to communicate with the camera. The SDK is only Windows and Mac, there is no Linux version. It does appear that the SDK is just a wrapper on top of the PIMA 15740 Standard.

Does anyone know of any Qt based efforts to implement this standard so I can make my application truly cross platform?

Most digital still cameras have an option of selecting between PTP or MS. If you choose the later, the camera will simply appear as a mass-storage device and so will be truly corss-platform without the need for any drivers.

Well, the problem with the mass-storage mode is that when the camera is attached to the computer, you cannot take pictures with the camera, it simply appears as a hard drive. You have to be in PTP mode to capture images and immediately transfer them to the computer. My application requires PTP mode.
