The problem is caused port libgphoto2-2.4.2 file gphoto2-list.c line 75 that says: #define MAX_ENTRIES 1024 >How-To-Repeat: Take a memory card with over 1024 images, and try to copy images above the 1024th image, and you'll get the following message: *** Error (-8: 'Fixed limit exceeded') *** >Fix: The quick fix is to change this to a larger number, i.e. 8192 or 16384. I've been using a version modified as this and it works well for my needs. #define MAX_ENTRIES 8192 However, who such an arbitrary restriction? The correct way would be to dynamically allocate as much space as is needed. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
