Description Tim Retout 2007-12-28 23:55:43 UTC
Currently, if the user wants to change the photo manager application that pops up when they connect a camera, they have to know the exact command to run. In GNOME, there are at least two choices:

 * gnome-volume-manager-gthumb %h
 * f-spot-import %h

If a user wants to use f-spot, they have to know the magic command. It would be nicer to provide a directory where photo management applications could drop a .desktop file, advertising the fact that they can import photos from your camera. (This would be similar to the way screensavers get picked up by gnome-screensaver.) Once f-spot and gThumb supported this, the user could then choose between just 'gThumb', 'F-Spot', or enter their own command line manually.

This was suggested at bug #329735, comment #4.

This would help finish off bug #324399 in f-spot (marked closed, but still difficult because of the above). It is also #36347 in Ubuntu:

Erm, I meant bug #328735, comment #4.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2012-03-05 23:24:23 UTC
According to its maintainers, "g-v-m hasn't seen a change in three years, it definitely qualifies as unmaintained."

It is highly unlikely that there will be any further active development
(especially as functionality has been superseded by other modules).

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel
free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility
for active development again.
