digiKam from trunk (KDE4) : Camera GUI : new option to capture a picture from camera.

Only Gphoto2 camera drivers (PTP include) can support this feature. Of course, your camera must be able to support capture mode. A new dialog will display in live the lens preview from camera. When you want to take the picture, just press "Capture" button. A new picture file will be recorded on camera media following camera settings.

This tool can be usefull if you perform nature or astro digital photography.

A screenshot of the new Camera Capture tool in action is given at this url:
