Thanks. Due to time-sensitive academic commitments it may take me some weeks (or longer) to deal with this bug. It's hard to say.

Corey Zeller do you have access to another camera to try? If not a camera, a smart phone? I ask Because I cannot replicate this bug with my own cameras.

If it is specific to the Fujifilm camera, then we can narrow down the cause.

If it occurs with all cameras, then that indicates something else to look for.

Hi,

Thumbnails generated correctly with my LG V30/VS996 smartphone connected
over USB in photo transfer mode, and with my Fujifilm X-T1 camera. I also
successfully downloaded from the X-T1. I tried the X-H1 in a different USB
port as well and with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 cables; the problem persists
regardless.

Log file is attached showing the smartphone, failed X-H1 attempts, and the
successful X-T1 download.

So just to be absolutely clear: you've observed the problem occurring only with the Fujifilm X-H1 camera?

Ensure only the X-H1 is attached. Ensure it is not open (mounted) in any other program, including any Gnome or KDE program. Then from the command line run this:

gphoto2 --list-files

Does this exactly match the file list on the camera's memory cards?

Correct, I have only experienced this problem with the X-H1.

With the X-H1 attached, the output of gphoto2 --list-files exactly matches
the contents of the SD card.

The camera is not mounted in any other program.

I have attached an unreleased version that contains an extra line of additional debugging information that could help determine what is going wrong with this particular camera.

Please do this:

Delete all the files in ~/.cache/rapid-photo-downloader/log

Uninstall the Arch packaged Rapid Photo Downloader, but not its dependencies (very important).

Install Python pip and Python wheel if they're not already installed

Install the attached tar file (do not use sudo):
python pip install --do-deps rapid-photo-downloader-0.9.24.tar.gz

Ensure only the Fuji Fujifilm X-H1 is on the system (no other SD cards, cameras etc.)

Run:
~/.local/bin/rapid-photo-downloader

After the thumbnails fail to generate, from within the program run Report a Problem, and click save to create a tar file with the saved log and config files. Attach that tar file to this bug report.

When you want to uninstall this version, use pip:
pip uninstall rapid-photo-downloader

Attached.

I commented out line 58 in raphodo/rescan.py and now it generates
thumbnails and downloads from the X-H1 successfully.

58 #assert camera.camera_has_folders_to_scan()

Thanks for the additional information. I assume you had only the Fuji Fujifilm X-H1 is on the system. Why is the device /mnt/sdcard listed under "My Computer"?

It is very strange that libgphoto2 would be returning an empty list of folders on the camera, but still allowing access to the actual files located in the same folders. Very strange indeed. It could be a firmware bug in the camera or a bug in libgphoto2. I guess I'll just have to relax the assertion and turn it into logged warning.

When you reinstall the Arch version, you must uninstall the version you installed using pip. Mixing the two versions on one system is not good.

/mnt/sdcard is an empty mount point I created. There is nothing mounted
there.

Thanks for your help. Let me know if I can provide any additional info
related to this.

Thanks for quickly getting back to me with the additional information I requested. Makes fixing it much easier.
