Description David Paleino 2010-11-11 10:07:18 UTC 
gThumb should check and, if it's the case, mount the device before trying to
import photos from a PTP camera.

This causes a bug in the import function, which doesn't work in non-GNOME
desktop environments (i.e. Xfce). GNOME, in fact, automounts cameras as they're
plugged in, and gThumb could then do the import.

For Xfce, a workaround is to add "gvfs-mount %d; " to the Exec line in
gthumb-import.desktop. However, that's not desktop agnostic, so maybe the solution is to add a check in the source code.

I'm myself using GNOME, but non-GNOME users reported the problem (and the workaround for Xfce).

This is the Debian bug 603143: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=603143

Thank you,
David

In fact the correct workaround for Xfce users would be to add the command to thunar-volman camera tab. Something like:

sh -c "gvfs-mount -d %d; gthumb --import-photos"

but once again it's highly Xfce-specific.

Cheers,

Marking as obsolete, as this was reported for a now-unsupported version and no recent activity has occurred. 

Please feel free to reopen this bug report if the problem still occurs with a current version of gThumb.
