Hey, the support for digital cameras in thunar/thunar-volman still has issue. I don't mean camera using USB Mass storage (which I guess work fine like every mass-storage device) but ones using gphoto2 backend. Using thunar-volman I can see that my camera is correctly detected (I have a notification) but that's all. For some people, it might be enough. For example, shotwell (photo manager) doesn't need anything more, so it should be possible to just add the “shotwell” command in thunar-volman camera tab. For some other people, though, it's not. gthumb for example needs the device to be (gvfs-)mounted. I've tried to put a gvfs-mount command in the camera tab, but we don't have the correct information directly. The correct command would be: gvfs-mount gphoto2://[usb:001,001]/ But what we have is only the path to the device (/dev/bus/usb/001/001). It's possible to tune that, but it's a bit inconvenient. Another nice stuff would be to show the camera in Thunar side pane, so it could be mounted and browsed directly from Thunar. What do you think?
Using thunar-volman and gvfs, it's possible to auto-gvfs-mount a camera so it'll appear in the apps needing that (gthumb for example). In the thunar-volman-settings, camera tab, check the “import digital photos when connected” and then in the command box put: gvfs-mount -d %d Or you could put a shell script doing that plus running the app you need to import like: sh -c "gvfs-mount -d %d; gthumb"
This has to do with remote volumes in gvfs, closing the bug because the issue is known.
