I see all tab on the INDI Control Panel Canon DSLR,Canon 1000D, Canon 500D.
Always use only one device, when search to connect second device return error:
"Can not open camera: Power OK?"

This also in local or remote ..in xml or fifo system. More info? thx!!

I'll try to add support for multiple DSLRs in the INDI GPHOTO driver soon.

So I added support but still retained the old behavior. How? If you start the "GPhoto CCD" driver then the old behavior is retained (1 device per driver), but if you use "Canon DSLR" or "Nikon DSLR" drivers, then it would support the multiple-devices-per-driver feature. PLEASE TEST!

It should be available tomorrow in the PPA.

Make sure that your DSLR does not get mounted as an external storage device by your PC. If it does you will not be able to use GPhoto driver. You need to unmount it first.

Can we get some screenshots? I don't have two cameras so I'd like to see and post the results in the documentation.
