Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

When I plug memory card from camera to card reader, Ubuntu no longer offers import of pictures from camera. I've found out that importing is now handled by Nautilus, so I went through Nautilus's configuration. It has an option for choosing photo importer, but:
0) the field is grayed
1) nautilus isn't aware about gthumb importing capabilities
2) doesn't provide any way to enter importing command manually

This is inconvenient for all people who used gthumb all the time and things worked well until now.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find. Note that nautilus is not using for the camera automount action in hardy since the gvfs gphoto backend is not built there so gnome-volume-manager is still managing those actions

g-v-m's settings didn't work for me, so I assumed, that it was bug of Nautilus. If g-v-m should still handle cameras, it doesn't work for me because it doesn't launch any command specified in gnome-volume-properties.

Do you actually have gthumb in the g-v-m settings? It defaults to calling f-spot nowadays, so if you prefer gthumb you have to change it.

pitti: yes, I've changed configuration to "gnome-volume-manager-gthumb %h" (found in earlier versions of ubuntu), "gthumb --import-photos" and back to hardy's default "f-spot-import" (and variants with/without %h). Nothing worked for me.

OK, thanks. Please open a Terminal, and do this:

  killall gnome-volume-manager
  /usr/lib/gnome-volume-manager/gnome-volume-manager -n 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gvm.log

then plug in your camera, there should be some more output. After it settled down, press Control-C and restore the background g-v-m with

  /usr/lib/gnome-volume-manager/gnome-volume-manager

Please attach /tmp/gvm.log here. Thanks!

As I stated in original report, this bug/regression regards plugging only memory card into card reader, not plugging camera itself, which works fine with my configuration. But in development versions of Hardy plugging camera worked the same and now it isn't.

did that work in gutsy? unstable hardy was using the gvfs gphoto backend but the code has still some issues and that has been disabled before hardy

Hi!

I confirm these problems. I have the same configuration and happens the same behavior.

I have a Fuji Finepix S5200 and this is the log.

Thanks.

It works nearly perfectly in Feisty - the only flaw is that gnome-volume-manager-gthumb runs "whole" gthumb, not just import photos window.

Ok.

It worked very well in Gutsy too. The problems started in Hardy.

Right, with an SD-card (or a mass-storage drive) this can't work any more in g-v-m.
