Description Marco Pallotta 2009-08-27 14:55:56 UTC 
This bug was reported here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot/+bug/391825



Binary package hint: f-spot

When I plug-in my digital camera f-spot opens a pop-up through which I can select the device to browse. I can read:

- mass storage camera disk:/media/disk
- olympus c-2040z usb:
- olympus c-2040z usb:003,003

(the last entry seems related to a bug already reported)

The first selection mounts the camera memory card as a disk and browses the content of the camera (that is the photos).
The second selection only browse the content of the camera.

I think the pop-up should explain these different behaviours in a user-friendly description. The actual pop-up is cryptic for most users

Tested with Ubuntu Hardy and f-spot 0.4.3.1-0

I *think* I remember this was fixed during the .5 cycle. reopen if not.
Comment 2 Marco Pallotta 2009-09-04 22:28:18 UTC 
I tested f-spot version 0.5.0.3 and the issue is still present.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2018-07-01 08:57:37 UTC 
f-spot is not under active development anymore, has not seen code changes for five years, and saw its last tarball release in the year 2010.
Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
