mac-gphoto-enabler doesn't work on OS X El Capitan

[rubenbroman]

To start with I would like to say that I'm very grateful for this script and it's been making my life so much better.

It seems Apple has changed their ways of starting PTPCamera in El Capitan. There's no /Library/Caches/com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.%d. I've tried to do some reverse engineering and the code for creating the database is still in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ICANotifications.framework/Versions/A/ICANotifications but I can't find the database.

Could you please look in to this?

Thanks!
Ruben

@rubenbroman how about defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug -bool YES ? :)

Thanks @aol-nnov

I haven't tested this thoroughly yet but it seems PTPCamera still starts up when the camera is connected. It's just that Image Capture doesn't pop up. I'll make more tests later on.

Hi,

running into the same problem (also El Capitan...). The file seems to be /Library/Caches/com.apple.ImageCaptureExtension2.ICADeviceDatabase.. I couldn't figure out what to change in the sqlite database to prevent PTPCamera from starting, though.

I can confirm the answer from @rubenbroman - the setting @aol-nnov sets doesn't prevent PTPCamera from starting.

Best,
Benjamin.

Was anyone ever able to figure this out for recent versions of Mac OS?
