importer not launched when connecting camera if gthumb is opened
Last modified: 2011-03-15 12:49:17 UTC
trunk When I connect the camera gthumb importer is run if gthumb wasn't run, but if it was running, another gthumb instance is run and the importer isn't launched.
Does it behave any differently now? - Mike
Hi, Thanks for your report. However please note that the new 2.11.x is the current and older versions are obsolete. I just tested your use case with the latest master and it works fine, gthumb runs the importer if there was an instance already running. I'll close this report. Please try this use case with the new 2.11.x and feel free to reopen if necessary. Cheers, Matthias
2.12, still present The camera is connected: $ lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04a9:31e0 Canon, Inc. Bus 001 Device 002: ID 18a5:0214 Verbatim, Ltd Portable Hard Drive Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub but it isn't mounted, and gthumb's importer doesn't see it. Actually, if I put the card in a card reader, it's imported, and gthumb sees it normally.
Perhaps a left-over script from an earlier packaging of gthumb 2.10.x is unmounting the device. See my comments at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gthumb/+bug/713838 - Mike
Copied from the downstream bug: ------ "OK, I got it to work. Based on your comments, I changed the command in the menu for gThumb Photo Import Tool to: sh -c 'gphoto2 ; exec gthumb --import-photos' and that did the trick. Apparently you can't mention anything about gvfs any more. ------ "Paolo, you need to right click Applications the select "Edit Menus". In the resulting window, select Graphics on the left side and then on the right side, right click gThumb Photo Import Tool. Select Properties and in the resulting window, change the command in the "Command" box to read: sh -c 'gphoto2 ; exec gthumb --import-photos' It's easiest to just blank out the old command and paste in the one I wrote above. Once the new command is in the box, just click "Close" and close out of the menu editor. If your camera is already connected, disconnect it. Then the next time you plug it in and set it to upload, everything should work as before. Some of the choices in the new version of the import tool have been moved to the "Preferences" button, so look at that once it runs. ------ This seems to be a distro packaging issue, and not a gthumb issue. Closing bug. - Mike
