Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.

But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

Yes indeed, I just wrote a rant about this in the Canon community on here.

The two edges of this sword: All of the functionality worked in the previous edition of the app without the "mandatory" account. The upshot of this is, if you grab an APK of the previous (3.2.40.36) version of the app it still works just fine sans account, because the requirement is completely artificial and your camera's hardware has not changed.

That's what I did for now, but given that I only ever used the damn thing as an overwrought remote shutter button when doing macrophotography (you'll never guess the subject), I just bought $6 aftermarket remote release and moved on with life.

For added fun and excitement, if you don't have internet connectivity the app won't work. So, like, if you're out in the wilds on a hike with your camera. Nobody ever does that, right?

All apps are crap. This one is extra crap, now. I've never used it for geotagging and certainly not for transferring images -- not more than once, anyway, because on my phone it takes a solid 15 seconds per image. It would be faster for me to not only take the card out, but crack it open and inspect it with a tunneling electron microscope and type the ones and zeroes into a terminal by hand. I just put the damn card in a reader instead. Always have done.

I was wondering what the OP was talking about since I use the app pretty frequently and haven't had to make an account. Guess that clears it up; I won't be updating it in the future.

when doing macrophotography (you'll never guess the subject),

Your penis?

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Close, but it could arguably be something compensating for the same!

Thank you for confirming! I do this with the GoPro Quik app, and I'd have no problem doing it here.

I have a Sony compact camera with built-in GPS. The newer models require the app for live geotagging. These are the games I refuse to play.

Thanks for the heads up. It's version code 77 when downloading manually from Aurora Store in case anyone else is wondering. Please blacklist Canon Camera Connect after installing it to avoid further updates.

I use it to transfer images to my computer so I don't have to pull out the sd card. But the tip with the apk is good, will do that too

My German came through, its meant as 'a hint' or 'an idea'

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

😄 all good, I couldn't resist.

Your use of the word was fine.

Just the tip

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I'm aware of the idiom, just want sure if tip was used the same in english

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Thank you for the version number! I was just lamenting not being able to find it.
