[mythtv-users] Progress bar on import images

[Les Gondor]

Kevin,

It doesn't use the mythtv theme, but here is a quick and dirty script 
that uses gphoto2 to import images from a USB-attached camera (A Canon 
Powershot A30 in my case). Just add it to the import path in the 
mythgallery settings page.

Cheers,
Les Gondor
