I think I tried Entangle some time ago, but I couldn’t make it work with my camera (either that my Fujifilm X-T2 was not yet supported in libgphoto2, or by user error).
I just compiled it from source today, as now libgphoto2 supports tethering for my camera. After fiddling a bit, I was able to shoot tethered. There’s just a rather small inconvenience: if the camera misses focus, then the software receives an error message and I have to shut the camera down and reconnect it in Entangle to proceed further.
Anyways, it’s cool to be able to shoot tethered in Linux!

For which camera? X-T2 is supported, earlier Fuji cameras too I guess.

we had reports somewhere that the X-T1 is not problem free yet. and the X-T3 doesnt like it at all atm. talking about gphoto here.

Did the X-T1 users have updated the firware, and did they have set the right PC shooting mode?
