Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Hardy problem.

When I connect the USB connection of my camera.
The f-spot-import command is not being run when the Camera is plugged in.

But the camera gets mounted on Computer://
As Canon, Inc. PowerShot A400 / PowerShot A400 (PTP mode)
Then when you open in Nautilus , that on top of the files window appears:
This media contains digital photos and a button "Open Fspot Manager"

When you click on this button it opens F-spot manager, the F-spot import dialog doesn't open up.
Then when you click on import in F-spot, it doesn't even default to the camera, you have to manually select the camera.

Then you get another hurdle "Error Connecting to the Camera"
"Received could not lock the device while connecting to the camera"

So what you end up having to do is re-plugging the camera, and then you shouldn't not opening the camera in Nautilus as that locks the camera. Open F-spot and go from there.

I am guessing the heart of the problem is that it is not being recognised as a camera.

Thank you for your bug report. What version of f-spot do you have installed?

No, this (at least the first part) is definitely a bug. Specifically, the import command (set via System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media) does not run when a camera is connected. I can reproduce this. It's nothing to do with f-spot-import - I tried setting the import command to "/usr/bin/touch /tmp/test.txt" and no file is created. I can run f-spot-import directly from a terminal or Alt+F2 after connecting the camera, and it works just fine. I also tried setting the same touch command for "Automatically run a program when a USB mouse is connected", but the command doesn't run (or at least the file isn't created) when I connect my USB mouse, so the problem is not specific to cameras either.

don't reopen closed bugs, nautilus is not used for those actions in hardy, gnome-volume-manager is doing the work there

I have absolutely the same problem- f-spot-import starts from command line, but not on mount or from nautilus.
